Chevy truck 6.0 liter question

[bbbenny]

I got a 2002 2500 chevy with the same motor. Bought it new. The noise you hear is rispin. Until the engine warms up that will happen. I got some info from one of the guys on the site, here. All gm would give is, more time on the engine warrenity. Benny

My 2000 GMC Sierra and my nephew's 2004 Chevy truck make the same noise on startup, lasts for a minute or so. Mine has been doing it for years. I hear it's common and nothing much to worry about. Sounds like the lifters are going. Worried me at first, but not now after 60000 miles of hearing it almost every time I start up.

I stand corrected on the issue, The noise is piston slap, not wristpin.Benny

Yep, a guy I worked with had the same issue. Piston slap.

He complained so long the dealer rebuilt the engine. Still had the noise so he's now driving a new F*** with a Power Stroke.
Much quieter I'm sure.

The 6.0L is the larger member of the LS family of engines (4.8/5.3/5.7/6.0, etc) and they've all been plagued with piston slap...my '98 SS Camaro had it, while my brother's '98 SS doesn't...

My 06 1500 also has the piston slap on startup. 90,000 miles no problems...
