#38 of 44 Re: HELP! MY 06 Suburban 8.1 enging knocks [suburknock] by jsomers Oct 01, 2006 (4:55 am)
Replying to: suburknock (May 05, 2006 11:48 am) I have a 2004 2500 4 wheel with the 8.1 and the 4:1 rear. It knocked from day one and I was not happy. I asked GM for a 100,000 mile warranty on the motor and they gave it to me. The dealer backed me up so it was easy to get. It still knocks to this day and I have 47000 on the truck and pull a 10000 pound RV Trailer. They say its normal for the 8.1 Replies to this message: manmountain (Dec 18, 2006 5:56 am)
#39 of 44 2007 Suburban aftermarket wheels and tires by rmejia Oct 10, 2006 (6:59 am)
Replying to: go8 (Mar 24, 2006 1:33 pm) Just installed new 22" wheels and tires on my suburban, I saved lots of money by buying them myself and installing them too. Problem is I can't seem to reset the tire pressure setting on all four tires. any suggestions? I have the DIC system if thats makes a difference.

Replying to: jsomers (Oct 01, 2006 4:55 am) I have a '99 Tahoe with the 5.? engine (not the 5.3) and it 'knocks' for about the first 30 seconds, especially in cold weather. My mechanic brother-in-law (who works on a lot of commercially used GM trucks) says it's 'piston slap' and a result of the engine design...and not a problem. My Tahoe has 170 kms on it and runs like a top...knock not withstanding.

Replying to: suburknock (May 05, 2006 11:48 am) May GM trucks are well known for what is commonly called Piston Slap. I have it on my 800 series 2000 5.3L Yukon and I have heard it on several 6.0L GM trucks. I took it to the dealer to complain several times when it was newer but they just printed a page from the GM dealer service intranet that said it was not considered a problem. Eventually they gave me a letter that said it will not cause long term damage. I know some that received an extension to 100,000 mi warranty only the motor. See www dot pistonslap dot com for more details.

Replying to: vmidad (Apr 13, 2006 3:54 pm) I just noticed that in the last few weeks GM started offering the Yukon XL and the Suburban with the 6.0L for approximately an $1,100 upgrade. You don't have to order the 3/4 ton to get the 6.0L.
