Speakin of "GM Tick".....
I have an 03' Burb with the 8.1
When cold this thing has a low level tick that almost sounds like a diesel. Is it normal or????

[Raskal]

i have a 01 hd 4x and have 32,000 miles and not one prob i do have the tick when cold .but dose not use a drop off oil .i do wish i did get the disel but dam that was $8,000 more with trans. but i guess i would have saved that in gas buy now

Do I hear another GM vs Ford debate wink .I had a corvette that started leaking at the crankshaft front seal with only 30.ooo miles on it.The oil seeped in the harmonic balancer's insulator causing it to dissolve,and subsequently throwing the outer ring off eek! . I've also had a Cherokee LTD with a hardened rear main seal starting to use 1 L oil every 100 miles ,it had 140.000 miles though .Hooligan , buy a 250/350 powerstroke .

Anybody else have input on this truck? I am thinking about getting a 1500 HD this Thursday and it has the 6.0 ltr. engine. What kind of mileage can I expect? How does it tow? I am probably getting a 28' deck boat in the next two years, will it tow it? I have a 2003 Tahoe with the 5.3 ltr. and I love it, but they do not offer a crew cab with that engine unless you buy a avalance(which I hate).
Thanks

I heard this this weekend and I loved it......
The guy told me....."If you ever get a motor built, make sure it is buit between tues and thursday. Cause Monday everyone is hungover and needs a day to get their shit together, plus they dont know where they left off befrore the intoxicating weekend, and on friday everone is in a hurry to get going to get loaded.!!!!"

I have a 2001 with the 8.1. It has just over 16K on it with out any problems!!

There has been a lot of problems with the new 5.3 and the 6.0 motors. Mostly piston knock. Chevy is extending warrantys or repairing motors.
Check the forums on this site, there is a lot of good info on chevys

I had a 6.0 L chev crew cab (2002 model). I liked the truck but hated the engine. I sold as early as I could. Shitty gas milage and screaming RPM when towing. I have a Ford 350 now again and love it.
