6.0L manufactured before 2003 developed piston slap at relatively low miles.

All of the LS series engines did. However, I think that the 3.1L V6 was GM's first introduction of mass-produced piston slap when they redesigned the short-skirt pistons in '96 or so.

I have had the unfortunate pleasure of telling hundreds of worried or irritated customers that "the sound is normal". They didn't care much for that. :D

I forget what their called but in the lumina body series the rear brake adjuster would sieze up and you'd have to replace the whole dam assembly.

Should we do one for Ford?:giggle:















:D

I thought that's what this forum is about!!!:smiley_roll1:

Hey, they all have some issues; some more than others. When I worked Ford parts, the list wasn't a whole lot shorter; though I can admit they fixed some things pretty quickly, or kept trying to until they got it right. Over my time at the last dealership, the list of common things became shorter, which meant they were staring to get things right.

On the other hand, they didn't do such a good job with Jaguar. The early X-Type list would have looked more like the entire parts catalogue; including the "A" pillars and rockers that would rot out on the early production years.

Exactly! I think the difference between GM and other manufactures, is that the others will admit to their mistakes and find a better way. Where GM seems to turn a blind eye and ignore their faults and just keep on truckin. Now I am not saying the "others" don't have any faults, but they do have the ability to learn from their mistakes and move on.
