Default Re: Road Test of Stant vs. Shewman Thermostats

Sorry....but with all the previous posts on the mechanical and electrical issues with this test vehicle and some of the "fixes" that were made, plus the previous negitive posts that were made by this same person about Skip Haney's and Bob Shewman's products, I would not rely 100% on these test results. Of course this is just my opinion

Well, as they say in the movie "Used Cars"---this "blows the hell out of those high prices".

. . . not to mention the very few actual miles the person drives his vehicle.

It's pretty easy to criticize without any contradictory data or even personal experience. Not very persuasive though.

If you don't have any way to refute the message all you're left with is to kill the messenger.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to do exactly the same thing twice, changing only one thing, record the data and report it. Interpretation of the data may vary but the data itself are facts that can't be disputed.

Thanks to VeryTangled for graphing the test results for us. I added his graph of the elevations he made for the identical test last year and the numbers were re-aligned by 51 MERC-CT to read a little easier.
