ST GEORGE, UTAH -- I have a 08 Chevy Uplander with 79k and it needs a body contol module and it is not covered under the powertrain warranty. So now I have to pay 600 dollars!

No way, it's one of those things you can do yourself. Here is one for under $100.

My guess, based only on what was written, is that your powertrain warranty is still valid but does not cover electronics. That isn't surprising, if true. What is sad is that the module would fail at a relatively young age.

The BCM really isn't part of the powertrain. It handles the electronics of the car, it does handle input from some electronic sensors, but it's not mechanical part like camshaft or accumulator pump. I can see where it wouldn't be covered.

KEVINTX> They will not let me join this site but if they did I would vote your answer helpful. As stated this is a very easy do it yourself repair. If the OP is unsure of his abiity to do this himself he can easily find a friend or even a local repair shop to do this for him and save big bucks. The trick is to order the part himself.
