--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear
Valued Customer,
Thank you for your response.
Yes, that is very helpful
information. DX29 is the product’s model number and 1543 is the part number.
Now we are getting somewhere.
Detailed procedures to adjust
this unit can be found in the installation instructions
provided with the equipment. In this case, please refer to steps 3a through 5c to adjust
the unit.
Make sure you perform these
steps as written, and in the order listed.
If you have any further issues with the DX29 Fuel
Economizer, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Have a wonderful day!
Fondest Regards,
Customer Service

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Support,
Yeah, I know the instructions
are in the box. Which I read and followed.
But the steps u wrote dont
work.
Now Im getting the hang
of this. Ill tell u just what the problem is b4 u ask.
Step 3 tells me to install
the adjustment cam on top of the air intake. Did that.
Step 4 sez to turn the top
of the unit so I can get to the screw to adjust it.
NP.
Im supposed to turn the
screw till I C the red line centered in the viewing window in step 5a. Check.
Step 5b sez to turn the
top back to where it was before. Fine.
But then it sez in step 5c to check the window again to
“confirm proper alignment,” but the red line is gone!
I tried to c in between the top and bottom of the unit,
but I cant seem to make out what Im adjusting. Squinting at it through the viewing
window with a flashlight, I can make out some kinda round plate. Looks like the red line
is marked on the edge of it.
Should the plate move with the top? If so, how come the screw is on
the bottom?
HELP Im confused!
Roger

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear
Valued Customer,
Thank you for your response.
I’m sorry you’re
having so much difficulty installing our product. I
have made an extra effort to reply to your e-mail before leaving the office for the day.
I am confident your vehicle will be running better than ever tomorrow morning on your way
to work, with our product saving you gas money with every mile you drive.
Our patented Model DX29
Fuel Economizer is one of the finest currently available on the market. We stand by it
100% and have many satisfied customers who swear by it.
The unit you purchased is somewhat complex, in
that it is electromechanical, rather than simply mechanical
in its operation.
In short, it consists of
two sub-assemblies: the adjustment cam and exhaust converter.
The specially patented electro-plated engine compartment
adjustment cam includes a lower mounting base and upper body. This cam is used in conjunction
with the signal from the vehicle’s oxygen (O2) sensor to properly adjust
the unit. The electrical connection to the external exhaust converter enables the cam for
optimal exhaust flow during equipment operation.
Have you connected the unit to the O2 sensor
on your vehicle?
If not please do so, as this is your problem.
Thanks for purchasing our great product. Please
let me know what kind of mileage you get after your
Fuel Economizer has been correctly installed.
If you would like to leave a testimonial on our webpage
(http://Pendeltonproducts/reviews.com) you will be eligible to receive a discount of up
to 10% on your next purchase.
Regards,
Jon: Customer Service Manager

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mr.
DeCastro,
Your e-mail of yesterday afternoon has been forwarded to me
as harassing correspondence.
I simply cannot subject my staff to such abuse. As a mature
adult, you ought to know better.
But because I am the better
man, I will answer your question:
attach the wiring on the unit to the O2 sensor located on the
exhaust manifold on the driver’s side of the vehicle. Start your engine and
make the indicated adjustments per the installation instructions.
Then your unit will function as advertised. I should know;
I designed it.
Good day, sir!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Really,
John. FOR REAL?...
So ur the bigger
man, eh? STFU!
FYI, I just connected ur “great product” to
the O2 sensor u told me to on my engine. Ur “specially
patented electro-plated engine compartment adjustment cam” flew off it’s mounting
plate and sliced the side of my radiator hose. Ur lucky it wasn’t my finger, ya putz!...
…Then the engine cut
off and the check engine light came on.
Because of u and this stupid
piece of SH--, Ive got to get my ride towed to the mechanic
to get this crazy alienware ripped out of my car and a new radiator hose! Maybe then, if
Im LUCKY, the engine light will go off. Im not feeling lucky. TFN!
SAY, I just read back over
this email thread and something about it seems bogus.
Tell me, Mr.
John Pendelton…How many people work for Pendelton Products Inc? Is it just u?
RU posing as president, ceo, customer service manager and his whole f--ing staff
of ignorant phonies?
Did u make this useless piece of crap out of old kitchen
parts on a workbench in ur garage?
Have u even installed this loser of a so-called “product”
on ur own car?
Ur a liar and a crook, thats what UR!
--WTF?...Now theirs smoke!
U lousy SOB, u better hope I dont lose my job over this. Ill hitchhike
down their and kick ur sorry A$$!

But I’m heading for the driveway

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear
Momma,
Long time no see! I’ve been thinking about heading up to
Mickeytown to visit with you for a few days. How about a trip to EPCOT, my
treat?
You know what they say, ‘All work and no play….’
Is this a good time?
I need to get away.
Will you come pick me up?
…Oh, and can you please
leave right away? I’ll explain when you get here.
OOOXXX,
Your Johnny Boy
Michael W. Dority was born in Linton, Indiana
in 1958, son of a Protestant minister and housewife, both survivors of the Great Depression.
He moved to Florida at the age of nine and now resides in a suburb of Orlando. He obtained
a degree in Computer Science and eventually chose technical writing as a vocation. Or did
it choose him? He doesn’t know.
Mr. Dority wrote his first work of fiction when he was
10 years old and has sporadically dabbled in the genre of science fiction for the past
30 years.
His literary
achievements include editing an anthology, a not inconsiderable feat he accomplished in
2018.
Mr. Dority
has recently had the following stories accepted for publication in the indicated ezines:
“The
Disposary,” Aphelion (December 2020 issue)
“The
Opal Ring,” Black Petals (January 2020
issue)
“The Old Hipster,” Schlock (February 2020 issue)
“Heaven’s
Black Top Hat,” Schlock (March 2020 issue)
His ambition is to
one day write good poetry. (He insists all previous attempts at rhyme have ended in catastrophe.)
Mr.
Dority is not particularly optimistic about his chances of realizing this
literary goal.
