Back in Pittsburgh, Pa!!
Well, my '02 was getting a bit long in the tooth at 303k+ miles and didn't like long high speed trips any more. Body has lots of rot, and after my 3 hr trips home, the next day it runs very rough on startup and the service engine light starts flashing for about a minute or two before it goes out. Around town, it runs fine, except the needle on the oil gauge will pulse or quiver except at speed. I don't know if that is the dreaded o-ring issue, or if I have compression blow-by. Guess I should do a compression check.

In any case, I found a 2010 LTZ in red. under 60000 miles and really clean underneath. It's a PA truck, but last (2nd) 0wner drove it under 7500 mile in the 3.5 years he had it. I checked out the warranty history and build sheet so I know all the options and where it was delivered and such. On the Vehicle Summary page, it lists the truck as "Order Type: 90 - SPEC+EVENT USED CAR (CVMS USE) ". Any one have any idea what this means? I am assuming maybe a new car show or GM sponsered event?

Also, any idea what:

Valid Description       Warranty Add Date Start Date Effective Odometer           End Date   End Odometer
          Special Coverage 11273 04/20/2018         06/25/2010 0 MI                           06/25/2020   120,000 MI

  means?


Oh, and here's a pic. (I hope the pic works).

Nice looking truck!

Special event thing could be a MAnufacturer car where a GM worker wanted the car for business use.

MAYBE, Warranty thing could be for a specific item on truck that was serviced many times and the offered a warranty on that part
 
Looks like the warranty was extended to 120,000 miles or 10 years because of a problem with the Throttle body

Thank you! At least now I know.

BTW, I stopped at a dealership to order new all weather floor mats and when I came out, 3 Sales people were outside checking out my new Av. They were impressed at the condition and wanted to know if I wanted to trade it in. I said no.
