GM would have done something about the excessive oil consumsion (read the lemon link I posted above). In the Corvettes that had this problem GM replaced the pistons and replaced the oil rings with a different design (strangely called a Napier ring) to solve the problem. I even found the email adddress for the General Manager of GM while researching this problem. One guy who wasn't happy with his truck about the piston slap emailed the GM and was offered a new GM vehicle at cost. The old addage... when you bitch, start at the top, shit runs down hill. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) GM will (if you bitch) offer a extened warrenty, then offer you cash (if you bitch more) and buy your truck back if you have a lawyer bitch for you.
