My 2022 refresh 3.0 trail boss has its radiator leaking at the seam with 36,306 miles on it, at least I bought an extended warranty.  Talking to my dealer that I brought it to the radiator is on back order, part 86785339, with no date of delivery unless another dealer will give up their inventory.  Was curious if anyone has a good lead on a dealer to contact for this.

 

this whole situation is rather frustrating as this is the second gm truck in a row that is having he radiator replaced for a leak.  Really making me(and mainly the wife) question

gm.

 

thanks for help.

Plastic used in a radiator will not last. My 93 1500 had plastic in the radiator.

When you say seam are you talking about the top which is crimped to the core of the radiator?    A local radiator repair shop should be able to replace the seal.    Many auto mfg have not been using all metal radiators for years.

Just be  glad your not the poor bastard that has to change it. Takes two men and a small boy to lift that damn thing out of the engine compartment. Three cooling fans and shrouding also. Your not changing anything on that engine on the side of the road in an emergency.Warranty time is 5.7 plus the ac recover and recharge for 1.2.I'll  keep my spark plugs thanks.

Not much you can really do.  Verify with the parts department that they have a SPAC case on your part and buckle up.  Its possible GM has flow coming in on these but are being processed at one of their parts facilities, or they are waiting on supplier shipments.  

 

If another dealer is "showing one" on the dealer locator, 99.9% chance its either on order or for a customer, just like the position you are in.

Sounds like the dealer located a radiator and should be here late next week.  After doing more reading looks like this small leak is on other trucks as well, not a lot but some.  Hoping the part does come in as they said.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
