Chevy V8 Engine Slap

My 2001 1/2 ton pick up (GMC) 4.8 does it terribly, and has now developed a knock as well.
Mobil one since new. Has done it since new. You really need to check out a cold engine. Peferably one that has sat over night.
That is when mine is worst. I have been told it is the piston skirts, they are too short? GM just issues a service bulletin and tells you it's normal. Well metal banging in an engine is not normal to me. I am told once the carbon deposits warm up and expand it stops.
We just traded our Honda Accord towards a new Odessey Van.
This is completely redesigned for 2005. Consumer Reports
rates it number 1.
5 star front and side impact, side airbags the full length
of it,as well as two in front. Traction control, 255 hp, etc etc.
This vehical was designed to handle like a large BMW and carry 8 people,
and get 28 mpg highway 20 city.
Before you give up your Toyota(300,000) I would highly recommend a test drive. This ain't your gramma's minivan.
Toyota and Honda are number one for a reason.
At least read consumers reports reviews,I think you will be very disapointed with an American piece of junk.
I can't wait for Toyota to make a full size truck.

The clunk I think your ref. to is called "drive Line Clunk Bulletin" Don't worry they are aware of it I'm told.
These bulletin's keep them from having to step up and fix it as far as I can see? They retuned my driveshaft on the computer?(sounds good) and it came right back. My General
Mess of Crap has been in the shop since it had 900 mi. on it. I leave it parked in the yard paid for and with 60,ooo
mi. and run my 1986 Isuzu pick up I found last year with 31000 mi. on it. run's like a top w/32mpg. I would trade out
of the GMC but it has depreciated so much in 3 yrs. I might as well keep it to haul my stump grinder around summers.
Remember they are "Professional Grade". What a crock of bull! Ask your friend for me if they actually drive these trucks before they sell them?

I looked at the new Toyota on line,if it's the one we are talking about? I was disappointed to read it will have an 84" bed.? I really need an 8' bed in the carpentry business.
If they would build a real full size truck I think every one
would want one.
Did you check out those Honda's?

I got one of those 100,000 mi. warranty's too, free, to make me go away.
I have heard stories on collecting on it though.
Unless you have gone completely by the book on maintenance
and can document it and every oil change you are own you own.
I brought mine in recently because of the morning knock and they could not hear it ,"sorry." Have bought two new trucks from this largest sierra dealer in the USA! You know what
I said,"Merry Christmas". Contractor speak for another two
famous two word term. I gave them the original. I tell
everyone I can how bad this product is and the dealer.

Well good luck! At least you have a buyers market. Dealers around here are offering auction prices on trade in's. The market seems to be flooded. Good luck with your search.
