Anyway, I got my early order SS in July of 2009, and life has been good until now. NOW, my Silverado is at the dealer, with the engine "torn down" per instructions from "technical assistance". This started last Thursday, and they still can't (won't?) tell me what is wrong. Truck has 53K miles, and the dealer has done all of the oil changes. I have a GM provided rental HHR...
The crux of this missive is that my ardor for Chevrolet is starting to fade, and that is depressing, because I love my Camaro so much. I am having to listen to no small amount of "I told you so"...."Government Motors"...et al, crap from my friends. It IS embarrassing, considering the mileage on the truck. I don't think I will be able to trust the darn truck again, and find myself pondering the Ram.
Any words of wisdom or comfort? Anybody else had any GMT-900 engine trouble? (I have the 6.0 AFM)
Thanks for reading.

I maintain a fleet of Chevy trucks in my business ,and I've never had a motor failure in a 6.0. Some of them have over 300,000 miles on them(those are leaving at the end of the year) ,but anyhow I've had all the makes and settled on Chevy about 10 years ago because I get the most out of them for my business for the money. You got to do what feels right ,but I will buy chevy trucks until they give me a reason not too.(Maybe you just got yours)
And by the way, I'm by no means a GM fanboy. I mainly love mopars and also have owned many fords. Just speaking from my experience with chevy trucks.
The Dodge trucks do look very interesting though.
