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. 

I noticed their is a recall for certain trucks with this issue. Just curious if yours is one of the trucks with the recall.

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 happened today (3-12-20) to my 2019 TB LT with 47,000 miles on it, unbelievable.  Engine was knocking when I got it stopped.  I will see what the dealer has to say in the next day or so.

Just happened to me tonight with 17k miles, towed to dealer. Gm won't be in until Saturday.. along with this issue. My truck also exhibits the hard shift from reverse to drive and 2-1 downshift is extremly hard intermittently. Drivers side cab and bed alignment is way off. Not very happy with gm quality. Hopefully I can get gm to buy this pos back. It has been in the shop 7 times now since buying it in November. Leaving me stranded on the side of the road twice now.

Karrs42901 and Redslt,  did your trucks have this particular recall out for them? 
 I’m just wondering if even the trucks that don’t show this recall are also having this failure.

Ad80 I just checked no open recal on my truck for this issue. In the pic posted you can see the oil slick that dumped out of my truck on the freeway going 80mph I was in the fast lane and as you can see I had to move over to the other side of the road rather abruptly.  Luckily there wasn't high traffic.  Would have hated to see what would have happened if I wasn't able to get over as quickly. Engine could have seized and I could have been stuck in a travel lane with no way to get it off the road. Good thing it happened when I was driving and not my wife.

You might want to get an oil analysis done after they fix it because no doubt they will say no damage done and install the cooler lines and judging by how gm has been operating these last couple years charge you a 80 bucks for an oil change. How far back does that trail go, with how high pressure these systems are it doesn't take long to run it pretty dry imo.

Waiting on the dealership to call.  I had it dropped off and I took the keys with me. I want to get under the truck with them,  i want to see which line broke, how much oil is left in the pan, and i want too see if they try to start it to get it in the shop or if they are going to wheel dolly it in there. Pretty sure there is going to be engine damage. When trying to get the truck on the tow truck ther driver couldn't find a way to put it in neutral without trying to start it..  it didn't sound healthy...

Yes, could have been a lot worse. glad your ok.  Since there is no recall for your truck, and it still happened, then i guess it could happen to all trucks. I wonder if the dealers will still fix this, weather we have a recall out or not.

Not that it helps you now, but you hold down the start button without your foot on the brake for 15 or 20 seconds. All functionality other than the engine running.

 

Ask me how I know.....

 

Had lots of time to read the owners manual while waiting for a tow truck for the very same failure last April.

This just happened to me right now. Just had it towed to dealer. Wtf! This is a crying shame man. No way this should happen and there's no recall for this? I'm also worried my engine was damaged even if I only went 100 meters before I stop the motor.

GM will do everything they can to get out of having to do a recall, where as some other manufacturers are up front and honest and will recall the silliest things.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
