ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING, DASH GAUGES BLANK. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER WITHOUT POWER BRAKES OR STEERING! AFTER A FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART WITH "REDUCED ENGINE POWER, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, AND STABILITRAC" PROBLEMS DISPLAYED ON DASH. I WAS A MILE FROM HOME IN -10F TEMPS! I PULLED IT INTO MY SHOP. DTC CODE P2135 WHICH HAS TO DO WITH THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. THE DEALER HAS A 2 WEEK DELAY IN GETTING INTO THEIR GARAGE! I FOUND OUT THAT THE THROTTLE BODY/SENSOR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SO WITH THE COST OF A TOW (CAN'T TRUST THE TRUCK TO MAKE TO DEALER) PLUS THE PART COST, I WILL REPAIR IT MYSELF. THE REASON FOR THIS LETTER, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER GMC TRUCK OWNERS. THEIR VEHICLE QUIT IN THE SAME MANNER. I THINK THAT "REDUCED POWER" IS NOT THE SAME AS NO POWER!!! I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOURS??? BE PREPARED FOR SOME CREATIVE DRIVING! *TR
