For the past month I have noticed my truck has been dripping oil, I pulled the shield off and saw my engine oil cooler lines leaking at the crimp points. Iâve seen GM put out customer satisfaction notice but when I tried to have the dealership fix mine they said mine is covered under any recall or warranty. If the line comes uncrimped at highway speeds Iâll lose all my oil where the trucks engine could lock up and lose all forward motion and in my eyes could cause a crash

While pulling a small trailer to go hunting, the engine just lost all power while merging onto the freeway. I had to pull over to the shoulder in high speed traffic because the truck had no power and had an odd clanking sound. When I took it to the dealer for repair, they stated that the lifter failed and also damaged the cam. This required a full engine rebuild. When the dealer went to test drive the truck with the new parts, ANOTHER lifter failed and also affected the cam again which required
