Do you have excessive oil consumption and low oil pressure? ---

Seriously. you are asking about a 10 year old vehicle out of warranty with unknown miles and history. It does not really matter what anyone else has , you have a worn engine and you need to decide if the vehicle is worth a complete rebuild. ---

Thanks a lot Captain Obvious! I was looking to see if there were any complaints from owners! How do you know if this problem was not on a vehicle with less than 50 k that has never been abused? What are you some mouthpiece for GM? ---

Now how could we have found this piece of information? From you, in your first post. I also notice you never said WHICH engine you have. Gas? Diesel? Agree with @VOLVO\_V70 It really doesn’t matter if anyone else has this problem, now does it? What would you do with the information if a bunch of people told you they had this problem on their 10 year old trucks? I have 133,000 on MY 14 year old 5.3 liter V8 1500 and it doesn’t use a quart in 5000 miles. Did that information change anything for you? ---

OK, OK…,erickson47 isn’t used to us, and he thought he was finding other owners. ---

No We have tons of 2008 GMC Sierra 2500s in our fleet, and we don’t have either of those problems
