Don’t miss those days of the never ending TSB’s year after year after year.  It’s GM’s way of informing their dealerships they furnish crappy unproven and unreliable vehicle components.  The consumers end up being GM’s guinea pig.

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.

I was wondering the outcome of your service. I have just over 50k and this happened yesterday. Did they cover at no charge although out of warranty?

What year is your truck?

@KLG Sorry to hear. No, I paid out of pocket. However, I setup a case with GM and was eventually reimbursed half of the expenses back in a check, and also was given $500 worth of GM rewards points.

Good ol American GM JUNK.  I can't believe the crap going wrong on these $65,000 trucks. Its TSB this or that and recalls up the butt . Who's going to cover the cost of us blue collar workers down time from having to deal with all this BS ? This country bailed GM out once and still we get the same crap coming out of the factories. Unbelievable. GM motto = send em out the door and worry about recalls later.

I fixed mine yesterday on my 2019 GMC sierra 1500 AT4 6.2L with a super easy quick fix to get rid of the faulty crimps without replacing the whole assembly. 
 

1- drain your oil

2- cut the aluminum line just behind the crimped area with a angle grinder or pipe cutter

3- debur the inside edge of the pipe after cutting it with a deburring tool

4- flare the ends of the aluminum pipe with a flaring tool

5- cut new piece of 15/32” hose rated for transmission oil cooling (TOC)

6- apply small amount of oil around pipe to allow hose to be slide over the flared ends. (Using a heat gun on the end of the hose for a few seconds made this even easier)

7- slide your hose on and secure with new hose clamps. 
8- refill with oil

9- enjoy!!

I just noticed mine is leaking, and has been slowly for some time.   Same spot on the engine oil cooling line crimps.   Mine has 84k miles.  Been a great truck, was doing maintenance on it changing the front diff fluid and belts and when I dropped the lower dust covers there it was.   Guess I'll call the dealer and see what that will cost.

      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

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      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.
