Lisle Jiffy-Tite 22930.  

Um, I don't think that tool helps at all with the transmission line connectors.  That tool is for fuel lines (if it's the right size) or perhaps A/C lines.

 

The Transmission and oil cooler lines are push in, then there is a separate clip that goes the side of the connector to hold the line in the connector, then a plastic cover goes over the connector that prevents the clip from coming out.

 

Note, this is w.r.t. the 4l80e.  Perhaps the 4l60e uses different connectors...

Buy a few extra of those little clips because sometimes they go flying.

perhaps indicate what specific vehicle you have, including engine, transmission, and if it's 4wd

Must have changed from the GMT800s then.

I used them today on mine, worked perfect!  The 22930 for the transmission lines and the the 22940 for the engine oil cooler lines.  These are for the lines that go into the radiator.  They do indeed make other sizes for the fuel and AC lines, haven't bought them yet.  Oh, and even for the heater core lines too.

Could you post a pick of your fittings?  I just double checked in the full-service manual for '04, and it shows the same fittings for the 4l60e as for the 4l80e, where you should remove and replace the clip that holds the line in, not just spread it with that tool...

You know Dave, I just realized that we're dealing with an 800 and I have a 900.  Are they different?  If so, my apologies!

Maybe, I don't know what kind of connectors GMT900's use.

Well, they look exactly as you describe them.

If it's the same fitting, then I don't see the point of your special tool, as it's easy enough to remove the clip and then the line can just be pulled out.  And the clips supposed to be replaced anyway...

Because they don't fly away when using a pick to remove them.  And it makes sense that they would want them replaced after using that method to remove them.

 

Look, these are similar to GM specific J-tools for removing the lines, not something conjured up in our minds.  Works fast too once one becomes familiar with their operation.

Well, you are free to do whatever you want, but for me, I'd rather follow GM's guidance on replacing the clips vs saving the few bucks and reusing them and taking on the added risk of them failing from being stretched out and the line popping out, at that becomes a much more expensive repair.

Well, that's the thing Dave, I am following the shop manual.  I just reviewed one of my copies (AllDataDIY) and it says nothing about replacing the clips and shows the use of the tools I showed you.  That's why I bought them.  Same procedure for all of the transmissions used on the GMT900s.

I know this thread is a little older but looking at replacing the lines on my 2001 Silverado 1500 Z71 and was looking to purchase the Lisle 22930 tool.  I thought that tool would work on all the connections for the transmission, radiator and cooler.  If this is wrong please let me know so I can purchase the 22940 as well.

If your fitting is the same, you don't need a tool. Just remove the clip, CAREFULLY, the pipe can be removed. Then put everything back together. You can re-install clip and then push the pipe in or install afterwards. The clips can be purchased at parts stores if you lose one

I know the tool is not needed but seems like it would be easier to use the tool in the hard to reach places rather than trying to pick off the clips.

Think the point is it is personal preference.  Can be done either way.  Pick your poison.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
