Consumer Description

WHEN THE TRUCK STARTS IT SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL- FOR ABOUT 10 MIN MAX- THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN THE AM OR AFTER A LONG SIT AT WORK (IE.6+ HRS) WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT ITS NORMAL AND THAT THERE IS A TECH BULLETIN ON IT- MY FATHER IN LAWS TRUCK (1500) DOESN'T MAKE THIS NOISE AND IT IS THE SAME YEAR AS MINE. ALSO THE NEW TRUCKS DO NOT MAKE THIS NOISE-- I DO THINK THAT SOMETHING IS GOING ON AND THAT THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURER DOESN'T WANT TO FIX IT SINCE ITS A SHAME- GOING TO LOSE MORE THAN ONE FAITHFUL CHEVY CONSUMER. *JB
