Got update from dealer about my truck. Went there on 12/24 to see it. Oil cooler line popped off at factory crimp. They pulled the oil pan off, along with everything that was in the way of oil pan.......skid plates, 4wd front axels, etc.....I saw where 2 bearings heated up and discolored. Motor is junk. They ordered a new long block crate motor from Michigan and are going to install it and give me back the truck. Uhhhhhhhhggggggggg. First time I ever bought a gm truck. I always had ford trucks but decided on the at4 instead of the raptor. Btw.....my at4 is a Canadian truck. Dealer told me the trucks sold in Canada and Alaska are having these problems.

I've spoken to a good friend who is a 30 + year tech at a North Jersey Chevrolet dealer. So far he has seen two '19 Silverados with blown oil cooler hoses. He said to look for a yellow witness stripe

Jesus Christ man. What is going on with Chevy? Failing oil lines, water leaks, software issues? You'd think they were BMW, and not good old reliable Chevy. I'm a BMW tech btw, and our quality has gon

sounds like the best thing to do is run it until the engine seizes up.

Just had it happen yesterday @ Chevy dealer now. This on top of all the transmission issues that take away from this 2019 Silverado 1500- wondering If GM is offering anyone extended power train warranties for ongoing trans problems?

hi, I’m the original person who started this thread, was just at my dealer for an oil change and they told me there’s a recall on my truck for these oil cooler lines for a different design.  Even though they put a new one on after my original one failed they said this one could fail too cause it’s the same hose.

I take it the one currently on your truck they already replaced is the one that can fail again? Yes it seems GM likes to take their time and reapply the same broken components until they get off their you know what's! Only took them over 2 years to figure this out, lucky many times they just hide behind the working as intended line and wait for your warranty to run its course!

Just heard back from dealer- engine is seized and a new one will be installed under warranty - will take 4 weeks, not clear why so long 

If it's any consolation, this happened to my 6.2L Sierra. It took a while, about 3 weeks. But you'd never know it's had an engine replacement. And they extended the power train warranty for me as well. They also gave me a $750 credit for accessories. FYI

That was very sporting of them, and the right thing to do.

This happened to my truck too. 2019 Sierra Denali with 8,915 miles. The oil cooler line failed and they had to replace the engine because they did not like the noises coming from it from running low on oil. The truck broke down December 8th 2019 and finally got the call that it was done today, January 16 2020. In the process of repair the multi fuse blew and the starter burnt out. Hopefully it was not as bad for you guys.

My starter died as well when this happened to my truck. New engine is great; you'd never know it had an engine swap. The problem isn't the engine getting the truck going its the intermittent brakes stopping the thing....

I'm sorry man. Happened to me at 6k miles. I was without my truck for nearly 4 weeks while they did an engine replacement.

Just had this happen to my 2019 GMC crew cab elevation tonight. Truck's screen said no oil pressure stop truck immediately. Spread oil for a couple hundred feet then came to a stop and dumped out the rest completely. Absolutely no oil left in the engine, we checked the dip stick. My entire cab actually filled with some smoke, so not sure if any damage was done. I am in Alberta Canada. My truck has 26,000 kms. Just had an oil change done 1500kms ago, all services done by gm. Guessing its the cooler hose as well, we will see come Monday. I will be pushing for further tests to be done in the future if they just replace the hose and oil.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By richard wysong · Posted

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
