Default Re: Chevy truck 6.0 liter question

It is my understanding that, a few years ago, GM with to short skirt pistons across the board to cut down friction. A friend's Impala sounded like a diesel on startup but never gave any trouble. Kind of hard to sell a noisy engine like that though. Forged pistons in loose bores used to do similar things until they warmed up.
