VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FUEL THROTTLE BODY-IT SEEMS THAT THE GAS PEDAL IS HARD TO PUSH. WHEN WE SPOKE WITH THE CHEVROLET DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, ALL THEY WOULD SAY IS THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT IT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM, BUT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. BUT THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO CHECK IT FOR US FOR A NOMINAL SUM OF $150.00 PLUS ANY PARTS. IF THIS WAS LISTED ON A SERVICE ADVISORY, BUT AS YET I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RECALL. THIS IS A ONGOING PROBLEM, TODAY I HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND LITERALLY STOMP ON THE GAS PEDAL MORE THAN 6 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD FINALLY BREAK LOOSE AND RELEASE. I REFER TO YOUR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS 000604007 # 126 AND 000604007B, #191. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
THE DRIVE TRAIN SHUDDERS EXCESSIVELY WHEN SWITCHED INTO AUTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. I NOTICED THIS PRIOR TO THE END OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD BUT JUST FORGOT ABOUT TAKING IT IN FOR WARRANTY SERVICE AS I JUST STOPPED USING THE AUTO FOUR WHEEL FEATURE. IT STARTED AT OR ABOUT 30,000 MILES, THE TRUCK HAS 66,000 NOW AND I AM SURE THE DEALER WON'T LISTEN TO ME, JUST MY WALLET. I'LL PUT THIS TO THE TEST NEXT WEEK ON MY VACATION.
