Transmission cooler lines - leaking AGAIN
Did a search and couldn't come up with anything newer than a post from 2008.
My 07 Duramax/Allison is on its second set of transmission cooler lines and they're leaking again at the crimp. The truck is out of warranty and the dealership won't warrant the lines they replaced. You'd think GM could make a tranny cooler line that'll go longer than 30k miles before leaking, and if not, at least back up the repair. Didn't know these were consumable parts.
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have success with custom made lines? I don't want to go through this in perpetuity.
2008 Sierra 2500HD Transmission Cooler Lines Leaking
While under the truck changing the oil this weekend, I noticed a slow leak around the crimps on one of the transmission cooler lines. Very nice, since I am just out of warranty with 38000 miles on it. My wife noticed spots on the driveway, but I couldn't see the drips with just a casual inspection. This, in my mind, is clearly a defective component problem. Have people been seeing this routinely?
2006 Lbz Transmission Cooler Lines
Here is another one with the same problem. 1 Month out of warranty. Dealer replaced two lines, 0ver 500 dollars. I will be contacting Chevy, however I don't hold much hope for any satisfaction. I'll be watching for the first set of aftermarket replacements.
This also started showing up in cold weather, leaking around the crimp on one line.
Maybe the dealer is looking out for me, knowing that the other line is just waiting to happen. <grin>.
Leaking Transmission Lines Lbz 2006
I picked up my truck from the dealer this evening..$625 for two transmission lines after they tacked on all the shop towels that got dirty etc. Needless to say I am Pzzed. This comes especially after really pursuing the warranty question I got the "Where did you buy the truck from" question.
I have now read enough on the internet to realize that these transmission lines are a big "hidden" problem with Chevy. I am considering starting an on-line blog to see just how far reaching the problem is. A lot of diesel owners don't know about this or other diesel pages.
I have read about various fixes but most run in the range of $500-600. I never tried to get a hose made at NAPA, I may just look into that when the weather gets more accommodating.
Whomever comes up with a solution at half the cost is going to do well.
There, I now fell better! <grin>
