They shaved my pedal!!

And did the reflash. I told them specifically NOT to shave the pedal last time I was in, even had to sign a waiver, well low and behold, I took it in today for a nasty grinding noise and it came back shaved and reflashed. I gotta say, I'm still irritated about the pedal but the reflash is actually pretty nice. It seems to shift smoother and doesn't have that lurch from first to second anymore.

Oh, and I found out we have heat shield around the drive shaft that, when loose, makes an awful grinding noise almost like a set of spent brake pads...

 

good stuff on learning about the heat shield thanks!


Sorry about the pedal

 

they did mine too. big deal you dont even feel any difference and it looks exactly the same as whats on the new trucks.

 

Hey Pugga...I just wanted your opinion about the pedal now that you've had it done?? I need the reflash and have been waiting because I wasn't sure about the pedal shave?? Is it a big difference? Thanks for the help!

 

How exactly do you know if you need the reflash done? Specifics?

 

What is the reflash? And isn't the pedal already shaved on the 2010's? My stock carpet floor mats were fastened down and had notes on them saying not to remove them blah blah about the stuck pedal

 

They did my pedal after I told them not to. I took it back and they put a new one (old style) back on. I got three free oil changes and tire rotations for my trouble.

 

They just trimmed my pedal into a landing strip.

 

Omigod! They shaved your pedal?!!! Damn...you're going to hell now. Sorry.

 

Had mine done aswell.

 

My 2010 which I've had for almost a year...drives like its searching for the right rpm in 3rd, 2nd, 1st gear....not smooth at all. When I stop to back in my driveway...the rpms go up a few hundred before shifting each and every time...not cool

 

Oh shit, I just started a new thread cryin and bitchn about another issue, but this happened to me Saturday aswell. Shouldn't they at least ask a
before cannibalizing these things?

 

is it really that big of a deal the world is not going to end. there is no difference they just did it to mine over the weekend

 

Who the hell cares about shaving a gas pedal? Why are some many people declining it? They did it to mine and there's no difference in feel.

I've seen a few threads just like this recently and it makes me wonder what the big deal is.

 

to be honest there is no "shaving" involved.. "HACKING" i think is the proper term with a hack saw

 

They trimmed mine also and I actually cant tell the difference.

 

X2. Mine was changed a few weeks ago when it was in the dealership and I dont feel any difference and I could care less.

 

Yeah, got a door speaker repaired...next thing I know I got a gas pedal the size of a tic-tac. But as said before here... I feel no difference (and, I won't be killed by a rogue floormat combined with the inability to shift into neutral).

 

any pics of this "shaved" pedel? im curiouse to see what it looks like

 

Some thing like this ?
