Long term reliability of GM 8.1 Liter
I'm curious to know what kind of experiences owners of GM's 8.1 liter have had regarding long term reliability/durability. I believe it had the piston slap issue in every year the engine was produced...

Longevity does NOT happen by itself...
Depends on how it is taken care of (quality of materials and service schedule),
where it is driven (terrain), how much it is forced to tow and the biggie...the
right foot
All of today's ICE's can last many times longer than when I first started driving
When everyone was thinking of replacement at around 100K miles
Again, key is how it has been taken care of...of course there are lemons out
there and will be in the future...
