I WAS DRIVING ON DELAWARE ROUTE # 1 DOING THE SPEED LIMIT (65MPH) IN MY 2004 GMC YUKONXL WHEN I LOST POWER TO THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER EVEN WITHIN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. AFTER ASSESSING THE SITUATION I REALIZE THAT MY MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING WITH THE DASH INDICATORS SHOWING THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE REDUCED POWER SIGNAL LIGHT ON. WHEN TRAFFIC HAD CLEARED I ATTEMPTED TO GO BACK ON THE HIGHWAY BUT FOUND I COULD ONLY TRAVEL BETWEEN 35-40 MILES PER HOUR. KNOWING THAT THERE WAS A GM DEALER AHEAD IN 15-20 MILES I CONTINUED ON RT #1 SINCE THE SPEED LIMIT AHEAD WAS REDUCED TO 55MPH. WHEN I REACHED THE GM DEALER I.G.BURTON IN MILFORD DELAWARE I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION AND WAS TOLD THAT I PROBABLY HAD A BAD THROTTLE BODY (CARBURETOR) AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THEY SEEMED TO SAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM. I WENT AHEAD AND HAD THE WORK DONE AT THAT POINT FOR A COST OF $568.32. *TR
