Consumer Description

MY 5.3 LITER SILVERADO HAS A DIESEL LIKE NOISE IN THE MOTOR UNTIL IT REACHES NORMAL RUNNING TEMPERATURE, THEN IT RUNS GREAT. ITS VERY LOUD THE FIRST 30 SECS. FROM A COLD START. MY LOCAL GM GARAGE SAID THAT IS NORMAL FOR A 4.8 AND A 5.3 MOTOR. THEY CALLED IT PISTON SLAPPING, TO ME IT IS VERY ABNORMAL. AND WILL IT GET WORSE, I ASKED. THEY HAD NO ANSWER. THEY DID COMMENT THAT GM HAS NOT RESOLVED THIS BULLETIN YET. I LOVE MY TRUCK, I HOPE I GET 200K MILES OUT OF IT. NOW I ONLY HAVE 50K . WHAT'S A PERSON TO DO IF THE MAKER OF HIS FAVORITE AUTO CAN'T COME THROUGH WITH A RESOLUTION. IT ALSO AFFECTS RESALE VALUE IF I DECIDE TO SELL. *JB
