Hey parts vendors, how about INCLUDING A DECENT SET OF INSTRUCTIONS in with the products you sell?
At first, the posts from Phreakish pissed me off.
Looking again, he does make some sense. I've been slow to realize that I am not the average consumer, the average citizen or the average person nowadays. I feel that I haven't changed much but society has changed around me....a LOT.
I want some things that might be considered traditional by today's standards.
If I had to work customer service, I'd be fired the first day. I couldn't keep my opinions to myself if I had to deal with one idiot after another IF what Phreakish writes is what he actually deals with.
I'm not exaggerating in my statements here.
The 5 speed swap kit from SST came with excellent instructions. I only called them for ONE thing and it was about their suggestion to use DOT 3 fluid in the clutch reservoir. I wanted to use DOT 5.
My Classic Auto Air kit had crappy instructions.
The Dr Diff brakes had some but they missed a few things that could have been mentioned.
I bought an auto dimming rearview mirror with temperature and compass. It had excellent instructions. The Dakota Digital stuff was great too.
This topic...I'm not just pulling this subject out of thin air. It is a real problem.
My point here was to confirm what I thought....That I wasn't the only one that was frustrated with how some companies operate. If guys like "Phreakish" read what we wrote and let it soak in, maybe something might improve.
If he does write technical data sheets that go unappreciated, I can understand his frustration. I hate to put myself out there to help someone and find zero gratitude for my efforts.
