Vehicles affected by this service bulletin:
- 2008 Chevrolet Silverado HD
- 2008 GMC Sierra HD
Only those equipped with diesel engine and six-speed automatic transmission.
The problem: Increased transmission oil cooling circuit pressure (experienced during vehicle operation at extremely low temperatures) may cause transmission fluid to weep or leak. This loss of fluid occurs near the transmission cooler, at the crimp joints on the metal ends of the cooler line where it joins the rubber hose.
