Hiccups:
I had a couple episodes where truck was hiccuping up the street. First one was a month ago after a 3 week sit, so one recommendation was low battery. Most recent episode was a week ago, and it thew a CEL. I checked it and the throttle position sensor code was active. I didn't clear it but it did not come back on the next ignition cycle.
I'm a recent owner and the (Chevy) dealer I purchased it from had a 4 month / 3k mile bumper to bumper on it. Also lifetime powertrain if I let them do my oil changes. Anyhow, I took it to them since I am still within time and miles, and also told them the front power seat tilt motor is not working.
Victory:
The service advisor called with a MAF code as well as the TPS. Was looking at several hundred for each, plus $750 or something for the seat. I asked "what part of bumper to bumper am I missing here?". Apparently the system was not set to indicate that I had it. All 3 ended up being covered for $50 deductable. If they had known I had the warranty, I could only imagine that the call would have been that the "codes are cleared". Seeing as I lost a pressure plate in my 2006 Jetta 400 miles from home on Christmas, this was welcome news.
Next?:
Santa missed my house on Christmas and I was hoping he would drop something nice. Still looking for a tonneau, but most require that the wing be removed. Anybody have an aftermarket recommendation (hard or soft)? And I was thinking of the JTSVP performance 1"/2" lowering kit. Any chance of a tax time sale?
Thanks for listening.
