Hi everyone!! my sister just bought a 2008 gm sierra 5.3 ,she has had it for almost 6 months !! and we are experiencing problems she said it was like the gas peddle just went to the floor on her!! she narrowly missed hitting a school bus and chose the ditch instead which ended up being the safest course of action but she did hurt herself !! we had the truck towed back to the dealership and they are now saying that they cannot find a problem for it !!!! If anyone out there has had any similar experiences please let me know as There is a problem and we need to get something done about this Replies to this message: rednecktroy (Sep 28, 2008 4:15 pm) jess20 (Dec 08, 2008 3:09 pm) obyone (Dec 08, 2008 3:14 pm) jess20 (Dec 09, 2008 4:43 pm) Beefnutz (Dec 09, 2008 5:45 pm) jess20 (Dec 11, 2008 1:39 pm) and 2 more...

Replying to: gmax6 (Apr 23, 2008 5:39 pm) I thank you for that info, but I send you the same question I have been asking sense 300miles, now at 30k.   RPM/Engine Surge: When easing to a stop or after stopping and slowly rolling (by easing off brake, no throttle apply) into my garage, the engine speed will increase surging the vehicle forward. It does not matter if the engine is cold or warm, nor driving for one minute or one hour. The engine speed will increase up to ~1000 rpm or more. The engine speed will surge and slowly come down to ~600 rpm in less than 15 seconds. This problem does not occur all the time, but I can bet on it happening each time I drive    The dealer was told by Chevy Tech Service that it is normal. I can't see it normal to have the vehicle speed increase with my foot on the brake.   Tafid

Replying to: jess20 (Dec 08, 2008 3:09 pm) What does the dealer have to say about the vibration? Harmonic balancer? Replies to this message: jess20 (Dec 09, 2008 4:43 pm)

Replying to: putterca (Jun 05, 2008 6:46 pm) I have a 08 silverado lt crew cab and would like to add the DIC control. I have taken the small dash panel off from the left side of the dash where the controls should be located, but there is no harness to plug the switches into. Is the plug located in a different location from where I am looking? GM is telling me this is not possible to do. Replies to this message: obyone (Dec 09, 2008 2:10 am) skimm99 (Dec 15, 2008 7:47 pm)

Replying to: mikef15 (Dec 08, 2008 4:47 pm) If my memory serves me correctly the LT trim Silverado already has the DIC and is located near the steering column. The upgrade was being performed by owners who had the W/T and LS trim.
