My 1993 k1500 silverado (4wd) pickup lost oil pressure resulting in the need to replace the engine. This problem began in 2001. Started as an engine knock (lifter noise) while accelerating uphill. Unable to determine cause or repair. Used mobile 1 oil for 2 years, eliminated noise. In march of this year after replacement of intake manifold gasket, severe loss of oil pressure and engine noise began. Immediately stopped engine and took to a repair facility where I was told engine needed to be rebuilt. I never thought a 350 5.7 liter chevy engine would last only 102,000 miles. My mechanic knows of three other people with the same problem. I never missed an oil change in 10 years and have documentation to prove it. Has anyone heard of similar problems? Are there any recalls?

The windshield wipers work infrequently. Sometimes they work in the rain and sometimes they don't. I have tried to detect a pattern but I have not been able too. I also feel that my cruise control is affected by this also because it is part of the same operational assembly arm in the truck. My cruise works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. I have been told by different mechanics that this could be several different problems and the only way to remedy would be to purchase a new motor. (very, very expensive) any information that you can provide will be apprieciated.
