2019 sierra 1500 SLT with 70,****** miles..

Looks like Engine oil cooler lines are leaking real good.

 

Having a hard time finding a replacement. Is it easier to just cut the bad spot out and use a clamp?

Please see the pictures. Its for sure the engine oil cooler lines right? Hard to see how they're routed, wasn't sure if it was for trans.

The leaking oil definitely looks like engine oil though.

 

I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE IT TO A STEALERSHIP. PLEASE DON'T RECOMMEND. But thank you for any helpful insight.

FREE UNDERCOATING. lol

 

But seriously, i believe that there is a TSB for leaking oil cooler lines, the dealership will replace this for free if your vehicle falls under the TSB, I don't remember the TSB number. Someone else can chime in or you can do the search. 

 

Are you still under warranty? Go to the parts counter and they can get you the correct PN to replace it.

Thanks. My search has only led to finding the GMC TSB N192220080, which says for Canada and Alaska. Called the dealership but they have to call me back...I absolutely hate dealerships.  Especially anything service related.

What help is it for you to respond on your doubts? Not even sure why people like you waste peoples time to add a comment that is getting us nowhere. Do you have insight on changing an oil cooler line? Do you know a TSB number? Like dude, blown away you came here to comment that you doubt a dealer will replace it. What help is that to anyone?

Found the Service Bulletin, it is attached. It reads as any effected 2019 1500(Chevy or GMC) will get the service completed, so long as its done by July 31, 2023. This should be free of charge. Still waiting on dealer to call back, but this is good info for anyone who is affected. The service bulletin is very detailed but I don't see any reason I wouldn't be qualified to get the repair done.

It's nice gm will reimburse for customer out off pocket expenses they incurred having the lines replaced. But they will never see this bulletin to submit a  claim.

I had mine replaced about two months ago. Would have cost me $1400 but, because I bought an extended warranty for the first time, I paid zero. For the record, I have a 19 with just shy of 97,000 miles on it. The leak started around 90,000 miles.

Thanks for having the service bulletin on here. Mine blew off yesterday and dumped oil everywhere. Towed to dealership calling them in the morning.  Have 53K on my 2019.

Looking at the carfax on mine (before i got it) it was replaced on my truck as well around 29k miles.

 

Seems to be a common problem.  Thanks for posting the TSB.  those are super helpful when speaking to idiot service advisors who don't know ****** about ******.  Very helpful for us owners!

Well, even though the service bulletin seems specific enough, it only applies to certain trucks. GM customer care recommended that I create a case once I bring it to the dealership. The dealership can then state if the problem seems to be the same as what is in the bulletin. At that point, GM may or may not reimburse.

TSB does not  = free fix, unless truck is under warranty.  TSB = Technical Service Bulletin.  Customer may present with "X", here's what GM has found to be the fix.  The phrase "TSB" gets thrown around like "Magnuson Moss" does.  

 

A special coverage or special policy would provide a repair in or out of normal warranty but your VIN must be applicable to it.  Dealer checks the VIN in GMs system.

 

Oil cooler lines leak all the time on these 2019-up trucks with the V8s.  

 

N212326940 that you found might be your only ground to stand on to see if your truck might be covered.  They'd have to run your VIN and see if that coverage is attached to it.  If its not, GM might provide some sort of assistance.

Oil lines have been leaking on GM trucks for decades, whether they are for a remote cooler or for remote oil filter lines like my 89 s10 baja had or my 95 s10 zr2. They don't fix them for free like i tried to tell the OP before he posted back calling me a troll essentially!

That tsb probably only indicates a batch made between this date and that date and at that specific plant. The lines are junk, they have always been a problem with GM either leaking or blowing out all together. I have never seen them out of warranty fix them free of charge, it was and has always been treated like a wear and tear item from my experiences.

Alright, as sort of expected, the dealership wants quite a bit to do the job and the part is, "back ordered with no ETA." The part the dealership gave me is 86788215. Looks like all the online sites have it, but I am not sure if I want to order it and DIY the job. I've only found one other who has done this job, with a 2019 Silverado. He removed front bumper to gain enough access.


At this point, I am considering trading in and being done with the truck..

      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
