Consumer Description

COLD START KNOCK OR PISTON SLAP. MY 2001 SILVERADO 6.0L SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL WHEN I START IT UP. PROBLEM BEGAN AT 11,000 MILES. NOW HAVE 18,400 MILES. - PISTON SLAP IS LOUDER AND MORE PERSISTENT. GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM, ISSUED SERVICE REQUEST #, BUT NO SERVICE AND NO RESPONSE. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PRODUCT. GM SHOULD REMEDY HUGE ENGINEERING MISTAKE AND FIX THESE ENGINES OR BUY VEHICLES BACK! *JB
