Now, I wasn't saying that they are without their problems... our Suburban burns a slight amount of oil on startup, and under very hard acceleration. I think that's due to the wear on the piston rings though. I just top it off every so often. Both of ours are the oldschool T.B.I. models, non-vortech.
