ED and Jon have identified the two causes of the "slap"

it is almost std on all of these engs. Iron block or alloy
its in them all  wmts

I am beginning to see enough of the engines in some really high milage, hard 
use applications to feel very comfortable about the long term reputation of 
these especially the 6.0---they are beginning to make real friends of some 
ranchers I know and have met---don't get very good fuel milage because of the 
4L80E---10 --15 depending on cab and use   wmts

Rancher friend has "HYPERed " his speed liminting device nothing else will run 
130---gets about 5-6---be sure and get some non WalMart Michilens before you 
try this--even they wont stay together above 115 on extended runs

He trades every two years at 230,000 to 245,000 miles  he has tried them all he 
says his cost of ownership is dramatically less than any other truck he has 
tried...Puts his ranch hands in Dodge single rear 1 tons---because the ride so 
ruff they will drive slower--
