Hi all, longtime lurker but new poster. I have a 2014 Silverado LTZ crew cab that just turned 43800 miles. In the last 5k miles I have had my truck into the dealer for drivers seat movement, noise in the steering and most recently a locked up a/c compressor. I ended up having the steering gear replaced, seat adjusted, and the ac/compressor replaced. Luckily all of this was covered through the CPO warranty. When i picked the truck up from the ac work, there was a note on the work order that said EKG test, examine combustion chamber for residue from unburned fuel and ethanol and check fuel tank for condensation. They gave the truck a score of 6/10. Has anyone seen this before? When i picked it up the service advisor wasn't there to explain.

Don't know if Chevy curves the grades, but in my day 60% was an "F" and meant a repeat of the course in Summer School.

I never heard of that before. Upon reading the internet, it sounds like something intended to try to sell a person some fuel system cleaners. If you did not take it in complaining of poor performance, I wonder why they did the test? new toy your dealership purchased?

I'd put a bottle of techron in the tank and forget about it.

Where I come from (registered nurse), those EKG tests are for hearts... lol Never heard of them for trucks.

 

Thats the first thing I thought of too. That name was chosen on purpose. If you look at the logo for the company that sells the tester, it looks like a heartbeat monitor.

Doctor did an EGK on me before driving my truck and after. Said I need to get over the pleasure factor due to erratic EGK readings. :ughdance::happysad:
