A little/big problem with my Sierra
#1
So lately I've ran into something that I can't explain what the source is. Usually it happens when I first start the truck and start to drive or whenever I shift it into Neutral then back into Drive but I'll lose all throttle response or sometimes will still have throttle but it wont actually get the the transmission. It happens a lot now and is not a good thing when I'm doing things like trying to cross traffic and suddenly my truck is just put-putting it's way while traffic is having to stop for me until I get acceleration back. It only happens at around 20-25 MPH when I'll lose response and I'll have to slow down to like 10 MPH to get response back or sometimes if I shift it into 3rd then back into drive it will have it. It started off as just an inconvenience but now that it's happening more often is becoming a risk. Today I actually had to pull into the island with my hazards on so that the guy behind me didn't hit me, it's ridiculous. Do you think this is something that should be handled by the dealer or something that maybe my tuner can take a look at? Could it actually be the tune itself? Any help is appreciated, thanks guys.

it's in the tune.
mine did the same thing.
Wheatley fixed it for me but I don't know what he did.
he said it was common, it's a dbw issue, throttle no worky
page him and he might have a look at your tune or post in the tuning section.

Sorry man haven't been on in a while but I'll take it to my tuner because he is local and let him know that this happens and I'll just have him remember the settings for the tune and then remove the entire tune and put it back on and see if that will fix the trick. Thanks again.
