New member here, how’s everyone doing with their 2019 Silverado?! 

 

I’ll start, mine took a dump this weekend while cruising on highway. “Low oil pressure turn vehicle off” light  came on  dash and  pulled over. I turned the car off immediately, step out of the vehicle to see smoke coming front grill , popped the hood and went to front of the vehicle to noticed lots of motor oil in ground :(. Car is currently at the dealer and I’m here waiting for results. 

 

I have babied the truck a lot and thats  what I get back lol. I hope is a bad oil filter sealer or some oil lines.. ;(

Sorry to hear. Oil cooler lines have been reported to leak on these. Probably what happened to you. Hopefully the engine isn’t hurt, but if a low oil pressure warning came up, I’d be a bit concerned it ran with no oil. At a minimum I’d force GM into extending the warranty...

Normally the sensors will kick in before the damage is done. This is from a mechanics perspective of dealing with sensors, etc.

Best thing he'll probably get is it documented and if something happens soon he can fight for them to back any potential issues. Documentation is the best key to getting resolution should a issue occur down the road. IF the cooler lines were loose I'd make sure it's documented on the repair invoice even if it's warrantied as this can help long term.

Wonder how much "looking" they'll do to check for various potential engine damage. Should be able to pull information from the freeze frame data that the engine code light that came on stored. Should show pressures in the engine oil, max engine or oil temp along with other parameters which will be kept on file by the dealer for warranty reimbursement purposes from GM. I'd make sure they keep the data or ask for a copy especially in case this problem starts to becoming a recurring issue, recall and/or if a class action comes out of it.

That really sucks. Sorry to hear that happened to you. I would call GM customer care and get a case number opened up, and mention how concerned you are of engine damage, ask for a district rep to be in contact with your service manager.

What could easily be done seems reasonable to me would be to get GM and the dealership to pay for a GM powertrain warranty till 100,000 miles.

Well I got my truck back last week. Oil cooling lines got replaced BUT not so happy with service. Driver side headlight is making contact with fender and chipped the paint on edge. I know it’s a quick touch fix but eh.. my quick conclusion is technician leaned on headlight/fender :/

That stinks!    Man... no one takes pride in their work any longer.   I always feel like I have to double check everything done at a dealer etc now as well.   At one time you paid more for a dealer to do thing because you expected the work to be better somehow and the parts were OEM.   

 

I hope they make this right for you.

Hope it all works out well for you brother, I honestly thought you might of hit some kind of debris on the road puncturing your oil pan.  They should make it right for you, including the headlight problem...good luck

      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

      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”.
