General Motors has issued a customer satisfaction program for certain examples of the 2020 and 2021 model-year Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD over issues related to the transmission oil cooler jumper lines.
The problem: certain 2020-2021 model-year Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD trucks may have a condition in which the transmission oil cooler jumper line has a leak at the crimp.
The hazards: while this problem poses no direct safety hazard to the driver or vehicle occupants, owners will still want to bring their vehicle in for repairs, as the problem may result in fluid leaks that could cause further transmission troubles.
The fix: GM dealers will be instructed to replace the transmission cooler inlet and outlet pipe and also the jumper line. They will also fill the vehicle with new Dexron V transmission fluid.
Affected components: transmission oil cooler jumper line, transmission oil cooler inlet and outlet line assembly.
Affected vehicles:
Number of affected vehicles: it’s currently not clear how many vehicles may have this condition. This problem only affects Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD trucks equipped with the gasoline 6.6L L8T V8 engine and not the optional Duramax 6.6L L5P V8 turbodiesel.
Next steps: owners of affected Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra trucks will most likely be instructed to make an appointment with their dealership to have the transmission cooler lines inspected and replaced. Owners with additional questions or concerns can also reach out to Chevy or GMC directly using the contact information included below.

Dexron VI. There us no V.
It would be nice if GM would fix there 8speed transmissions instead of saying it is normal when my transmission clunks an shudders when it under full warranty. Shame on you GM.
There is a fix for it. They need to change the fluid. Its been all over this site. There is a TSB for it. Maybe have your dealer into it for you.
Another reason to love the Diesel.
Now add all previous years and subsequent ones for the duramax and it will be correct.

Anyone who drives a GM deserves what they get. It’s so obvious by now GM makes junk, and has for years. But you have white males who, “only drives American”. And refuse to buy Asian.
Asian trucks are no better or worse. All vehicles have problems. And since you dont’ like GM kindly remove yourself from this site.
If you don’t like chevys why are you on this site?

2014 Silverado he

I would be happy if they would put out a SB or recall to stop the damn transmission line on my 2013 3500HD from rubbing through the line and requiring a new one ever 2 years. A pool noodle might be in order because there are no retaining available to help hold it secure.
