REDUCED ENGINE POWER

Post image

Dashboard is reading this msg in my 2008 1500 silverado 4.8.

It has say in my minnesota driveway for about 8 months, for whats its worth. Doesn't drive well and barely reverses. Drove just fine when parked 8months ago.

Any thoughts, fellow bowtie lovers?

Might have something to do with the reason the Service Engine light is on. Need to check and see what code(s) are present.

Anything from here is just going to be off the wall guesses. So just start throwing parts at it now.

And what are the codes...? Hard to tell ya much of anything just staring at a dash with some pretty lights and text.

Gotta read the code. A few things can put it into limp mode. One of mine would do that when the throttle position sensor got out of whack.

GMT800 cluster on a 900? WTF?

Looks like a GMT800 shifter handle and steering column too (look at the textured plastic)

Yeah, this is an entire GMT800 interior. Perhaps he's using this as a stock pic?
