Consumer Description
MY 2000 GMC PICK UP TRUCK HAS A LOUD ENGINE NOISE REFERRED TO AS PISTON SLAP. THE NOISE HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SINCE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH SOME GM ENGINES. THE DEALER STATES THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE BUT MANY WEB SITES DESCRIBE IT AS A MANUFACTURING & DESIGN DEFECT. I BELIEVE THIS CAUSES DECREASED PERFORMANCE AND INCREASED FUEL CONSUMPTION. *NM
