So now I'm a liar about factual events and observations that happened with MY car that YOU have never seen? Are you [censored] serious? I would offer to upload the 2" binder full of maintenance records, documentation, and information I've collected over the last 5.5 years proving you're an idiot, but you'll call that a lie too. If I'm a liar, please elaborate how I'm lying, and be sure to provide proof (read: factual evidence, not from the land of make-believe). This will be amusing (but you can't, and won't. You'll just type some stupid one-liner and say something like 'I have better things to do' or 'this is too ignorant' and cower & disappear).
I'll be waiting if you manage to muster up something intelligent. Good luck!
So you received a replacement catalytic converter yet the cause for the failure which was the engine never was addressed. 750 miles a loss of a quart of oil is well beyond a warranty replacement. The a thousand miles later you can smell the converter going bad. The best part is through no mechanical repair the miracle happens and you suddenly beat EPA fuel economy buy 20% .
This wasn't intelligent, but...
1. I did not receive a new catalytic converter. A Chevy dealer did it 1k before I bought it. I agree the engine (AFM specifically) killed the first cat. Why they didn't fix the culprit and instead replaced a recipient? Take it up with them. Not my choice.
2. I smelled a strong sulfur-like smell coming from the car when I first took it home. I said it was being poisoned, didn't say it was going bad (as it's been untouched since and still fine). So I decided to take it to the dealer that replaced it (which wasn't the one I purchased from) and see what their thoughts were.
3. There was indeed a mechanical change, AFM was disabled. AFM is a mechanical function. Apparently tuners are miracles now? Well, compared to GM's horrible AFM engineering, sure.
4. Or, by "miracle", did you mean my mpg numbers? The only miracle here is convincing me that you passed the fifth grade. My engine is tuned for 91, and I do ~85% highway driving (as I already stated). Even ignoring the fact that I
ALWAYS outperform EPA numbers, they claim 16 city, 24 highway. So when you average my 85% highway to their numbers,
the EPA claims I should get 22.8 (Here, I'll help you. (24x8.5)+(16x1.5)=228. 228÷10=22.8). I claimed 23-24mpg. So
even giving you the maximum benefit of the doubt by claiming I average 24, that comes to a whopping 5.3% over EPA, not 20%.
5. Perhaps you should watch less wrestling and take a math course (bonus would be an English/proofreading course). Here, this will allow you to do both and teach you how to count to five:
