Chevy truck 6.0 liter question

[bbbenny]

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.

I have a nice 05 2500 for sale if interested, only 22,000 miles

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...

Thanks guys, diesel prices today are a solid 50 cents a gallon more than gas ($3.50 vs $2.99). So long as I don't end up walking home, the noise is no problem.

Rob, our 99 SS Camaro has 90K on it now, no noises with that engine whatsoever. I've got to say, those little LS engines have kind of grown on me over the years.

[Chevy454]

Yeah, it was a hit/miss thing it seemed like...you'd see 5 Camaros that had it, then the next 5 might not...from what I saw, Chevrolet ignored the problem until the Corvette owners started griping, then they drug their feet researching it long enough that the Camaro production stopped and they eventually moved onto the LS2...
