Code 0449 On My Silverado

[pontiac69]

lets start with this

05 chevy silverado 4x4 5.3 z71 crew cab.

 

my check engine light just came on so i took it to the dealer. dealer said code 0449. so he replaced the vent solenoid which cost me 423 bucks which i think is rediculas. he also said he had to relocate it because chevy said so. he had no idea why it was just in the code on replacing the part. so they also charged me for extra hoses and clamps to do so. not to mention 2 hrs of labor at 95 bucks an hour. this part literally just slides off the frame, doesnt even bolt on. should take 30 min tops to install. i went to a local mechanic and he can get the part directly from gm for 102 bucks and the dealer charged me 160.

now that i got screwed on that, a day later the check engine light came on again. so i called to complain. they said bring it back in and we will check it again. now i look at the part that they replaced and mine looks new. if they had to move it because chevy said so then i should have to pay for labor or parts to do so since it is a factory defect on location. if the same code comes up then i want the old part put back in and rembersed for the labor and part.
