I bought an 09 silverado 5.3l LT. Has intermittent knock at start up but dealer said not to worry. Have 4000 miles and love it. MPG could be better. Best Ive got is 17 but I deal with elevation changes and lots of wind on my commute to work.

I only have about 4500 miles on it so far but it's a keeper for sure. The only reason I got rid of the 2500 was that I didn't need the towing capacity any longer. It was a great truck for the purpose but more than I needed for what I do now.

I wondered if anyone else had that experience with the low end clunking. Soooooo, I'm not alone.

no clunking here just knocking at start up every now and then.

I bought an 09' last November and it's been great. I have 11,500kms and have had only one issue. There is a wind noice at 60km/hr coming from the front windshield area. I have just noticed it so I do not know the cause. The gas mileage is unreal. At 100km/hr (60mph) I have gotten 25mpg and at 130km/hr (80mph) I get 19mpg. I know some people will not beleive this but I test it almost everytime I fill up. I use a government issue MPG finder so it should be accurate. Plus I have the factory 20" wheels on it. Great truck. Highly recommended.

Got my 07 Z71 Silverado 5.3, in march 07, has 47k on it. have never had any issues with it. I experience the start up knock just when cold, i figured it just does it till the oil gets pumping thru the system. Don't really get the great gas mileage, maybe due to the 3.73's, or my lead foot, but what the hell I love hearing those flowmasters....lol!!!
