2002 Chevrolet Truck Silverado 6 litre gas from North America

Summary:

A nice truck with a bad engine

Faults:

The engine has acquired a severe knock that the dealer claims is 'normal'. Apparently Chev issued a notice to all dealers not to fix engine knock, as it will not affect engines within the warranty period. I am totally frustrated with my inability to get any attention paid to this issue.

General Comments:

I generally like the truck. It has excellent power, either pulling or hauling. Gas mileage could be better, but I did not expect economy with a 6 litre.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I have a 2002 Chev 2500HD that has the 6 liter engine in it. When I first bought it I noticed a little engine noise on startup. Now that it has 30k miles on it the noise is down right embarassing when starting it. My concerns have never been satisfied by two different dealers, saying this is normal, I disagree now more than ever as it is continually getting worse. This is nothing short of criminal on GM's part. I will never buy another GM product!!
