Hello everyone. My husband has a 2001 silverado and has taken it in numerous
times because of the piston slap. We went to www.pitonslap.com and by reading
that and the old threads on here doesnt seem that GM has come up with a
conclsuion. Anyone find a fix for this yet?

First off, a Chevy Silverado is not a Subaru....
Second..there is no "easy" fix for piston slap....
Third..You didnt say what engine....
Forth..the small block chevys are NOT known for piston slap...
Fifth..if you would CHANGE the oil instead of just adding...this wouldnt
happen...
Sixth..."Short block" it......

Hope this helps.....

To people OTHER than Bob its a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3L V8 AND YES the
dealer has checked it out and said GM doesnt have a fix but is aware of the
issue... reason for this discussion is to see if any lucky individual out
there has possibly gotten or heard of a fix.

I'm not Bob... (isn't that a movie line?)

Everything Bob said is true. We do try to be nice to newbies
*if the post is about a Subaru*.
Your's wasn't.

Bob's flame was quite understated, don't get your undies in a knot. Wait
till you see the ones that require Nomex underwear....

Hi,

Am I experiencing deja vu all over again? Does this sound strangely like
"Amanda" to anyone else?

Her internet days are pretty much over. When her brother moved out, so did
her DSL service. She was shopping for a DIAL-UP a while ago. This bitch is
stump stupid. her last post was in Jan 2007. Not long after she was looking
for a new windshield for her 2005 Legacy..remember...she pissed off some guy
in a parking lot and he put his fist thru it hahahaha.

Her ID Amanda772009@yahoo.com is dead as well as her static IP of
67.174.45.207.

Good riddance.
