I TOO HAVE THE PISTON SLAP PROBLEM WITH MY 2002 SILVERADO HD 6.0L ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AT ABOUT 2400 MILES AND WAS HANDED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN THAT WAS DATED FROM 1999 (PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN SINCE THEN) TELLING ME THAT GM IS WORKING ON A "FIX". THEY DID WANT TO LOOK AT THE TRUCK TO MAKE SURE NOTHING ELSE WAS WRONG. THERE IS NO "FIX", JUST AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE ALONE EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY PAID FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. YOU CANNOT GET THE WARRANTY AGREEMENT MAILED TO YOU TO LOOK IT OVER, THEY WILL ONLY SEND IT IF YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT IT OVER THE PHONE. BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN GOOD FAITH AND WAS SOLD A LEMON. MAYBE IF THEIR PROFITS WERE AFFECTED BY A RECALL THEY MIGHT THINK TWICE ABOUT STEALING AND LYING TO CONSUMERS. *NLM

CONSUMER WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THIS REAR SUSPENSION PROBLEM , (AFTER MARKET PRODUCTS). *AK

PROBLEMS WITH THROTTLE BODY STICKING. *MR THE IDLE WAS ROUGH, THEREFORE THE THROTTLE BODY WAS ADJUSTED. THE VEHICLE KNOCKED LOUD ON COLD START. THE CONSUMER WAS UNSURE IF THE PROBLEM WAS THE THROTTLE BODY OR THE PISTON SLAP. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CLEANED AND DID NOT STICK AT THAT POINT. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FREE OF CHARGE UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. SCC

WINDSHIED WIPERS, STOPPED WORKING ---THEN COULD GET THEM ON ONLY ON HIGH. GM DEALER AND GM REPLACED CHIP/MTR GM PAID FOR PART,DEALER CHARGED 180.00. NOW I HEAR RE-CALLS ON 1999 AND UP ON SAME THING..
