This is Another one of those threads where someone tells the world he's going to do this that and the other to replace the stock afm and.........each and everytime it comes to not. Hot air wind bags all. I think they'll all wind up as Greeters at WallMart in the long run.

 

Yes, I think you are an idiot (not so much in technical terms but only an idiot mechanic would jump to conclusions that always try to blame the customer without taking time to understand the situation), and I know you are wrong because if you actually read my post you would see that the truck has driven an additional 60,000 miles with the K&N filter and the MAF is just fine.

And yes, I do know more than you in this particular situation. Get over it. I assure you that you know more than me in MANY other areas. Not in this case though.

 

I love this god damn high school forum!

 

Hehehe, sorry about that. Mechanics just **** me off when they try to blame things on their customers.

 

Indeed, I'm the same way. I just was commenting on the fact that, no matter what you post here, there's always someone who will comment, regardless of what they don't know about the situation.

 

Like I said, drink more beer!

 

Only if you come out with products faster!

/still waiting on the front brake set

 

too much missing from the story, all anyone could do is assume and probably what the mechanic did as well.

we all assume on a daily basis, to say we don't is dilluting yourself. an example would be driving down the street assuming the person in the right lane with the right turn signal on is turning right but in fact could pull a u turn right in front of you.. sure it is no where near the same but it is still an assumption.

the factory doesn't pay to actually diagnose problems unless there is a wierd circumstance causing the issue, an example would be the factory pays us .3 hour to replace the MAF and up to .3 diagnostic time to find the problem. .6 hour total, in other words, 33 minutes to find and repair the problem including test drive. most of that time is spent getting parts and the actual repair, not diagnosing because the factory seems to think the parts should be right next to you, the tools in your hand and you know exactly where to look to diagnose the problem.

sometimes assumptions are all we can do.

 

They still get you in trouble on a forum. Also, you seemed to have missed the whole idea, you made an assumption on something you knew nothing about. And, last I checked, I don't assume jack **** when driving, you can be sure as **** I'd be expecting someone to pull a ******* U-turn in the middle of the road from the right lane with their right blinker on. You can't drive in Houston and assume people are going to do what they show you!

Thank you, come again!

(And you still missed the whole point, which was that you rattled your crap off to something you didn't know much of anything about.)

 

Like I said, we're workin on it, but there has been too much beer involved!

 

Yes, i realize this! However, nothing wrong with a little pushing to move things along!

 

Touche rat...

 

it was an example not a fact, you are just being thickheaded as alot of people on this forum and in the world are. only seeing your side of it and not even trying to see it from other people's point of view.

when people bring their vehicles into the dealer they often do not know what problems they even have or lie to have things checked out for free and often times they get away with it. like today for example, i work on a car and notice the Service engine soon light is on(check engine light for current models) but there is no mention of it on the repair order, you can bet the customer said it was never on after he gets his car back. we ended up fixing the car under warranty even though we were technically not supposed to since it is a chevrolet, he was out of warranty and we are not a chevrolet dealer.

sometimes the only thing you have the option of doing is assuming.

 

Coming from someone who replies to someone elses experience as if you know everything to do with that situation.

Just because you deal with it on a daily basis, doesn't mean you can automatically know everybody's situation.

But you seem to be missing the point, assumptions based on your own experience of a situation is acceptable, but assuming someone elses is general a bad idea.

 

what were the codes prior to bringing the vehicle to the dealer?

 

Don't go and change the subject now!

 

and quit being such a immature *****...

i want to know if my assumption was right or wrong before i say i was wrong for assuming anything. maybe everyone here is ******* assuming too ******* much!

 

Rather be an 'ignorant *****' than stupid enough to tell someone their K&N killed their sensor before it was even installed.

 

"immature" was the key word, not "ignorant".

 

I used ignorant for a reason. Nice try though!

(Simply because, quite honestly, you saying immature is just like felix calling someone a n00b. Considering you've got a god complex over the fact that you're a factory tech, and you pretend that entitles you to know everything there is to know about people who take their vehicle to a dealer, I figured it was a pretty useless term)

 

lol



i'm done, you win the 'ignorant' contest.

 

Again, read above.

 

Well well, this thread is long over due for a closing I think!
