I suspect my company swapped engines. Is it possible?

    By their definition (at least that’s what service guy told me over the phone) idling is when engine running with parking brake on.

    That'd be too easy to bypass by idling with the service brakes released. Not too useful a metric for warranty work.

    So have you gotten to the bottom of this? What's taking you so long to get an answer?

    Intuition is 100% accurate, so something is out of place

    what is out of place, you may never know

    That’s what I was wondering. If he was really concerned it would be figured out by now. What a waste of a time thread.

    ecm mileage can be adjusted to dash mileage. it's a one click when using diagnostic software.

    Happened to me.
    I love fixing my cars and trucks. Sometimes on weekends I would work on my car on my driveway. I had a crazy neighbor. 65 years old men who would see everything around suspicious. On beautiful day he approached me and said.: Shame on you. I was thinking you were good men but you are not. Why did you change my engine while my car was parked on alley ? I said what ? He said yes, you did it. I parked my car last evening here , you changed the engine. I can't start it now. Only you could do it in this neighborhood. It was old Cutlass Ciera.

    Right, and the engine swapping message was probably sent from the CIA via the car radio waves into a filling in his tooth.
