Description of the problem | I have a 2006 gmc sierra 2500 with the lbz duramax and allison transmission. Two of the transmission coolant lines began leaking transmission fluid at the crimp ends in march of 2009. The truck only had 32,000 miles, but was 3 months beyond the 36 month warranty period. Service under warranty was denied. An on-line search reveals several others have complained about this issue and that the dealer installed oem replacement lines are no better (developing leaks soon after replacement), yet no tsb or corrective action has been issued by gm. Leaking transmission fluid is a fire and environmental hazard. The leaks are getting worse. |
