The same could be said for the older 5.7 vortec but there's a huge power difference (260ish vs 320ish if I recall correctly). The LT/LS engines are so good I wouldn't even bother with the diesels.
From what i've found out piston slap on the 5.3 and 6.0 is still a big issue on 01 and 02's,, and some complaints on o3's when they supposedly did their fix.
