CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 HD W/ 6L ENGINE-- PROBLEM WITH THROTTLE STICKING. CARBONS UP EVERY TWO MONTHS AROUND THROTTLE VALVE AND THROTTLE STICKS. THEN TAKES EXCESSIVE THROTTLE PRESSURE TO TRY TO MOVE. ---IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN MOVING IN TIGHT QUARTERS. CHEVY HAS ISSUED SERVICE MODIFICATIONS FOR 5.3L AND 4.8L ENGINES FOR SAME PROBLEM BUT HAS IGNORED THE 6.0L. CLEANING THE CARBON WORKS FOR ONLY TWO MONTHS THEN PROBLEM RECURS. CHEVY SHOULD MAKE A FIELD FIX LIKE THE OTHER MODELS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *JB
