Alright so not a week after I got my fuel pump done this happens.....anyone know whats goin on or what I have to do to fix this...seemed like a odd one to me. When I saw the temp jump up with a cloud of steam I was hoping it was a hose somewhere but apparently not. Is this part cast into the manifold or what?

Same piece broke on my truck:

The previous owner or shop the owner brought it to just glued it back on. Unfortunately for me, the glue came off, and I had a pretty bad anti-freeze leak. I just doused the connection with a good amount of Gorilla Glue and it has held up, although I'm not sure it will work with the severity of your problem. This is part of the inlet hose that goes into the intake manifold, but I think it's just a plastic piece that can be replaced. Try looking for places that sell that plastic piece, I will have to soon anyway as well, since glue should never be a permanent solution.

 

EDIT: If this is the actual metal fitting underneath the plastic one, you're going to have to weld or tap a new fitting on there. My problem was just the plastic piece that secured the hose in place broke, which caused a leak. The metal fitting on mine was fine and still properly attached.

The heater hose connector rotted. It threads into the manifold. I would try making some radial relief cuts in the piece that's still in the manifold, then try to pry it out without damaging the threads. Use a magnet to retrieve any metal shavings that have fallen into the water jacket. Replace the connector with a Dorman 800401. Seal the threads with teflon tape and RectorSeal.

WOW. It looks like you were in need of some serious flushing there. Rust city is NOT what coolant should look like. That is a common part failure though. I've seen many posts here about them failing.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
