I like that..... I ought to call the dealer and ask them to check those!!!!
As of this afternoon, they say they have checked, fuel pump, fuel reg, coil packs, fuel filter.
They believe it to be an internal engine problem.
They are going into the value covers and looking there next.
Stay tuned. (Not sounding good.)
And this thing only has 40K on it

Never abused. Treated with kid glove.

I like your answer much better than the stealership. (Their theory didn't sound right to me either.)
I would hate to think I had an internal engine problem at only 40K.
Although, not an internal problem, I had a water pump go out at only 22K on my Formula

i agree fuel or spark after checking your fuel filter check fuel pressure i not sure how u might have a bad pump .... not sure tho... what air filter u got make sure its getting enough air clean it or something. you might have a few bad coils or spark plugs and or make sure your wires are on good enough on your spark system lots of thing just suggestions

Is your truck still under some type of warranty?

Bad news is... I was starting to consider trading for a new 07 Silverado just a couple of weeks ago.
Sorta wish I had went ahead and made the trade
