Piston Slap a real bummer - 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
By DaveD - March 4 - 10:00 amHave owned only Chevy trucks since 1972. This is the last one. Truck was great until it lost the oil pump at about 20,000 miles. No big deal there. At 25,000 it started to knock when it was first started up. Actual problem is the infamous piston slap problem. Dealer (Sir Walter Chevy in Raleigh) wouldnt even look at it. They gave me TSB #01-06-01-028 that basically said it wasnt a problem and sent me on my way. Now at 29,000 miles it lasts for 5 minutes on startup. Had to search the internet to find out there was a extended warranty on the motor for free. Meanwhile no one will buy the piece of junk from me because of the problem. Its Dodge hemi time.
