My boss has a '99 with a 5.3 in it. It is a 2wd ex. cab shortbed truck. He likes it alot...has 55xxx miles on it and no problems. Has alot of power too....puts you back in the seat impressively for a 5 thousand pound truck. He says it gets about 15-17 mpg.

I have heard of the piston slap over the internet, but everyone i know with a newer Chevy is pretty happy with it.....
