Oil smells like gas

I have had my hp fuel pump fail on me at 40000ish kms and at 68-69000kms on my 18 Sierra 5.3L I’m still having issues with gasoline in my engine oil, my oil level is over the high mark on the dipstick and a strong smell of oil, my trucks at 73000kms, I had to bring my truck in at 71900kms because my crankcase was filled with gasoline and the dealership said it was because the intake tube past the MAF was loose from when they replaced the HP fuel pump at 69000kms. I’m bringing in my truck again for gasoline in my engine oil. They don’t seem to have any idea as to what’s going on and will not give me any type of extended warranty for my motor.. because having your crank case filled with gasoline is perfectly normal and extends engine life right? LOL

Does fuel separate from oil when sitting? Like oil and water? Would be interesting to get a sample and have it sit on the shelf for a bit to see if anything separates ?‍?

I'm sure that gasoline totally mixes engine oil. It will cause excessive engine ware. The fuel system is under pressure when not running & if there is a faulty seal in the injection system, fuel can seep into the manifold, pass by the piston rings & contaminate the oil. My advise is take it to someone that is knows what they are doing to check it out & drive it as little as possible. This problem will destroy the engine in time.

The trucks at the dealership again, they’re troubleshooting the issue, it’s been 4 times now and I’ve driven a lot with the crankcase filled with gasoline, I’d drive it until it would throw a code but I’ve been keeping an eye on it and have caught it twice before it throws the code

Look into the Lemon Law, if they cant fix the same issue after 3 times they may have to buy it back from you. Not sure if it has to be under warranty for that to work though, look into it for your state.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Average Assembly 4.8%   That's the likelihood of a light duty vehicle reaching 250,000 miles. Link below has the stats on this. Among pickups the 350 series (Dodge)  and higher (450 Ford) are most likely and nothing American built in the lighter trucks pegs a number higher than the overall average.  200K and up is the stomping grounds of Asian vehicles. Toyota Sequoia the leader at 39.1% probability.      https://www.autoweek.com/news/a68886903/vehicles-most-likely-to-last-over-250000-miles/   Likelihood drops dramatically at 100,000 miles of reaching even 150,000 miles. 250,000 is deep in the tail of the curve.    I've been told by the 'experts' that I don't need oils of the caliber I use. My high viscosity is damaging my motors. Ash content it to high and WILL foul plugs and kill cats and O2's. I don't need that much ZDP; my choice is over added and not cutting edge. I change it to often. I baby them to much.    Three Honda's reached 200K + and none used oil. All Red Line motors. All sold to friends or family. One Toyota reached 300K using oil, Pennzoil. Dizzy 300K using QSUD until it cashed the rings at 80K then whatever but often ever since. Did you know this engine still sports the OEM timing chain and is dead silent? Pepper spitting into the wind short of 200K, Red Line and changed often. Uses zero oil. A HPFP and a pinion seal. Still using most parts it left Fort Wayne with. So 50% of my vehicles have gone past 250K and 100% of the last half dozen past 200K. Of these two using "shelf oils' did so using abnormal oil and the four that used a premium boutique oil did not. There might be something there the experts have missed. 🤔

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      It's not that it sits for extended periods. I drive it every couple of weeks. However, I did consider draining the DEF and replacing it.    Don't you get a "Poor quality DEF warning" if its bad?

      Try draining the def and relacing with new if it has been sitting for a long time. Def does go bad after a little while.

      2015 Silverado with HUD retrofit/upgrade.

      By Thestonedone · Posted

      Thanks @Viktorrocks15 if you are still out there.   I followed your instructions and worked out great, went to the scrap yard and procured 2016 escalade cluster, hud, bezel, and switch. Got lucky and found a Camaro in the u-pull with the HUD bezel.   I made my own harness with these diagrams: https://www.gmupfitter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/23_Escalade_Escalade_ESV_Electrical_Body_Builder_SM_en_US_2022OCT25.pdf   I used escalade cluster because its the best one that will work IMO. Still need to get it programmed but it looks really good.
