Consumer Description

ENGINE KNOCKS VERY BADLY AT COLD OR HOT START UP. KNOCKING LASTS FOR MINUTES. CHEVROLET SAYS THEY KNOW ABOUT PROBLEM. STATES THAT THE PISTON SKIRTS ARE TOO SHORT CAUSING PISTON WOBBLE. THEY ALSO START THEY CAN'T FIX AT THIS TIME. ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL AT START UP NOISE IS SO BAD. I AM NERVOUS TO TAKE TRUCK OUT OF TOWN FOR FEAR OF ENGINE FAILURE.
