2022 2500HD gasser...Big Red.

 

Howdy all.

 

Found a small oil leak coming from one of the oil cooling lines on Big Red.  Came out to the garage the other day and saw a little oil puddle below the truck.

 

Are these cooler lines one piece? Looks like a joint connecting lines together.  I found no leak at the cooler and felt no leak coming from the rad. It would seem odd that they would be two connected lines vs a single line. 

 

In any case...needs to be addressed. Warranty should cover this, correct?  '22 with 13K miles.

 

Any thoughts?

Several people here have reported this issue on these trucks. It’s not a new issue for GM. It certainly would be covered if you are in the initial 3 year 36k phase of the warranty. I don’t know if they would cover it under the subsequent powertrain warranty.  Have your dealer check to see if there is a TSB on it - there might be an additional warranty for it.

Forgot to answer your first question. Yes they are an assembly you buy as one part. The lines I’m familiar with have a metal section at each end and a flex hose in the middle. They eventually leak at the swaged connection between the hose and the hard line.  I’m on my fourth set of oil cooler lines on my 93 K2500. The OEM parts last longer than cheaper aftermarket ones.

Great info...thanks!

 

I went to the NHTA site and entered my vin and got 0 hits.  Was trying to find any TSBs on it.

 

I'll give the dealer a call tomorrow.

 

Where would I find a parts diagram for this hose and/or oil cooler and lines?

 

Thanks again.

There may be better sources, but I usually just get on gmpartsdirect.com, enter my truck configuration, and search by my best guess at the part name. It usually works. Then once I have a part number I do an internet search on that to see multiple sources and sometimes even hits on tutorials for replacement.

      The Peckish Synapse

      If it has a stick I can have fun with it. When my wife first got her Acura years ago I used to tease her about it. I was only interested in muscle cars. They’re gone now. So once a month I drive the Acura. Every once in a while I’ll take it to Redline. But just normal driving on some twisty back roads usually does the trick.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
