He's just getting started - only 5 totally unrelated posts in 5 topics so far in 20 minutes.

He should be over to Jim's 05 Silver for Sale thread any minute now.

Soon ... are you sure? Doesn’t look like any of our Sergeant at Arms are on duty tonight.

RRR, Piston slap is not the most likely problem, because p/s would still be there ALL the time running. I found the same problem only occures on mine with the use of cheaper oil filters. Even though our SSR filters are mounted straight up, they are very small by volume held and the better the check valve in the filter, the less tap I get on start up. I do my own oil changes, and I found that the "Mobil 1" oil filters made less tapping for a longer period of mileage. I still do an O/C every 3,500 miles anyway! What filter are you running? Just my 2cents.....

Oh, and I should correct a mistake in my previous posting. I said the truck guys went to 10w-40, I meant to say 10w-30.

Would there be any harm or damage to running 10w-30 instead? I am about to do an oil change and might switch to it.
