Awesome information. Purchased a New (used dealer loaner truck with 6700miles) Silverado. The "sluggish" response is my only complaint about this truck. My Uncle purchased a 17 new, and mentioned it when he drove it a few times. I just happened to run across this forum, and being former gear head back in the day, I just wanted to remove the lower air dam, and ran across the gas pedal issue. Had a new paint stick, cut 2 pieces at approx. 1.5 inches, wrapped in duct take, loosened the bottom nut, and shimmed it in there. Took it for a drive, and what a different truck. As many are asking, why would GM use such a crappy plastic design on a very nice truck.
BTW, got my 18 for $34,500/MSRP $41+. Bought from dealer as used, but with all new truck "benefits".
