RWD Model, If Yours Is 4x4 Plan On Dropping The Front Differential And It Will Be Just As Easy As The RWD Model For The Line Replacement!! Seriously No More Then An Hour Of Extra Time To Do So. (Unbolt Front Axles, Unbolt Front DriveShaft At Diff, Remove Differential Mounting Bolts) If This Is Not Within Your Skill Set Pay Someone To Do This Repair For You! Safety First!!!
The Others Who Are Whining IDK What To Tell You This Video Has Everything For Replacement Except The Differential Removal (Becuase It’s RWD)😂
The only time im thankful for having a 2wd is making this easier lmao
Best video on this job ever hands down
Awesome Glad To Hear This Thank You!
Thanks for this helpful video. I have a 2012 Silverado that is leaking from exact place and didn’t want to fool with the motor mounts just to remove oil cooler lines. Your video was detailed enough for me to get the job done right. Thanks.
Great!!! Glad it was helpful I’m new to creating videos so I’m hoping they will get even better as I continue on.
.... Because you also have a 2wd.
@SM Auto Repair LLC what part number. I can't find the right ones
I did my 4x4 Sierra, 2011. it was a huge pain, unbolted the motor mounts & jacked up the block a few inches, just don't go too much. Even then it was nearly impossible, I have read some guys drop the differential to make the room instead. in any case, I am trying to find a fully flexible hose option rather than the OEM replacement, they will start to leak again at the union where the flex hose & metal hose marry up.
@professorbriancaykorrt3621 Absolutely, I’d love to see a better alternative for these awful oil cooler lines. I have personally done it both ways engine mounts unbolted lifted the engine a couple of inches and dropping the front differential. I think I really do prefer the front diff removal just because of all the space it gives you to work and really not that much extra to do so. Thanks for dropping a comment!
Great video! Followed step by step was exactly the same.
Thank you I appreciate that glad it helped!
Great Vid Bro Thanks For The Info U the Man 💯💯💯
Thanks
Gonna attempt this on my 2012 GMC Yukon. Thank you!
Awesome! No Problem
Appreciate the video BUT it's a whole different job on a 4x4. I just spent about 4 hours on this job and I had it in the air. Need to take off the drive shaft (4 bolts) just to have a fighting chance.
I understand. The problem why it takes everyone so long on the 4x4 is that exact reason, trying to fight around the differential instead of removing it. Remove driveshaft front axles and diff mounting bolts, drop front differential 30 mins out 30 minutes in max. It will make your life so much easier and turn 4+ hours into 2 tops. All while having enough space to work efficiently and having a quality repair.
No need to remove any suspension components just remove axles inboard at the differential.
Do they come down the side of the engine and over the front axle i heard some people say drop the front axle
For the 4WD yes I would highly recommend dropping the front axle for replacement of these lines.
So do you need to do anything for air I'm the system now?
Just Top Off Oil As Necessary.
I wish you said 2 wheel drive in beginning of video. Probably 80 percent of people doing this search are having trouble with the much harder job of doing this on a 4x4
The Title Says RWD , I’d recommend dropping the front differential down no more then an hour extra of work all together honestly not that much harder. Its easy enough to do with out a lift just a jack and some jack stands and maybe a helper.
Is there any guidane on removing the engine oil cooler lines on a 2010 Chevy Silverado 4WD@SMAutoRepairLLC
@curtisanderson9731 can you give tips on doing this on a 4x4?
I need help getting this done on the 4WD
@randycole5705 I do not have any videos currently of a 4wd model. My preferred method is to drop the front differential (disconnect front axles, front drive shaft and mounts) and that will give you all the room you would need and really doesn’t take very long to do so. Others have mentioned loosing motor mounts and jacking the engine up but I feel it does not give the amount of room necessary to get the lines in and out comfortably, especially if your doing this repair on the ground and without a lift.
Easier to remove the radiator fitting then remove the clips, pull the lines off, reinstall the clips, reinstall the fittings then push the new lines back in it was easier to do it that way.
Sure if that makes it easier for you to remove and install the jif clips by all means do it. There’s no reason to make anything harder then it needs to be, so if this makes it easier for you that’s great!
Would it be the same procedure for a sierra 1500 2008 4.8?
Very similar
Was this a RWD model? I have a 4x4. If ya happen to be in AZ, you can use mine for your video.😊
Yes It Was A RWD, I’m In KY Lol Your A Little Ways Outside Of Our Area 😀

What if it is leaking where you pull the pins ! Is there a fix without replacing the radiator.
The fittings for the line. The threaded portion that goes to the oil cooler in the radiator. You could remove them one at a time, clean the threads and apply thread sealant to repair the leak if that is where it’s coming from. Im not sure of your vehicles age mileage or condition but it may be worth your time to get a radiator installed instead of repairing the fitting but could be worth a shot.
I don't know if my lines need to be replaced or if the threaded piece the hoses attach to in the radiator need replacing. Do you know if those threaded pieces in the radiator are replaceable? It appears to be leaking from behind that threaded piece, any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you. I’ve got 257k on it and I’m avoiding a new truck payment like the plague. I really appreciate your response and that’s kinda what I was thinking but not sure. Would any thread sealer work? Can you recommend?
@@ronalexander4955 No Problem, I Totally Understand. In My Own Opinion The Permatex Brand Thread Sealer Works Awesome For Leaks Like This!
What are the tork specs on the 10 mm bolts?
106inlbs or 9ft lbs
How did you get enough space while removing the two bolts? I have 2011 GMC sierra 1500. Thanks
On The 2 Wheel Drive Models You’ll Have Plenty Of Clearance To Remove All Fasteners And Replace These Lines, If Your Truck Is 4 Wheel Drive It’s A Bit More Difficult Just Due To The Space Given.
What was the torque on the two 10 mm bolts?
106 InLBS or 9 Ftlbs
What was the torque specs
106 inlbs or 9 Ftlbs
I broke a bolt should have watched the whole video 😫
Not as easy with a 4 wheel drive.
Perks For RWD
Yea….just did mine, have to remove driver side front diff mount bolts, loosen passenger side…cut lines in half at rubber section, remove front driveshaft from front diff only, rest it on sway bar, will be tricky but it’s enough room to snake the old lines remaining out behind the front diff….sucks
@@n_giantyeti I Hear You Makes It Much Worse Being 4x4 If I Get A Chance To Do A Video On One I Will EspeciallyFor The Comparison In Amount Of Work Thanks For Watching!!
@@SMAutoRepairLLC I have a 2011 you can do, cmon
Dude really wish you would have said you had 2wd truck. Not cool man....not cool
It’s literally in the title RWD rear wheel drive!
Same as 4wd other then remove front axles and drop front differential about an hours work more if you want open access to work.
