Subject:
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LINES CRACKED OR LEAKING


Model and Year:
1988-92 C/K TRUCKS WITH 6.2L DIESEL ENGINE


Some owners of 1988-92 C/K trucks equipped with a 6.2L diesel engine and a 4L60 or THM400 (RPO MD8 or M40) automatic transmission may experience cracked or leaking automatic transmission cooler lines at or near the transmission fittings.

These cracks may be caused by the cooler lines going into resonance or vibrating at low engine idle speeds causing the lines to fatigue. To correct this condition, replace the cracked/leaking lines and install a support bracket.


SERVICE PROCEDURE:








1. Replace the cracked/leaking line(s) using tubing (P/N 1324714).

* Double flare both ends of the line and form the line to match the shape of the line which was removed.

2. Install a bracket assembly (P/N 15684042 (C-Truck) (Figure 1) or P/N 15684043 (K-Truck) (Figure 2) to the transmission inspection cover bolt.

3. Install a clamp (P/N 15518639) around the transmission cooler lines and aftach it to the bracket assembly with a bolt (P/N 11508023) (Figures 1 and 2).
