“My truck 2002 chevy silverado 2500hd has an engine leak. I have heard rummers of a bad valve in the engine that lets to much oil go through. I have mentioned to the service associate at the dealer and he has not mentioned of any such defect. I have talk to several other GM truck owners and they have the same complaint from their 8.1l engine.”
