1996 GMC Sierra - Oil Adapter Reseal

[@thenotsojollyrancher-akate9516]

Thanks for video even after 3 years

[@hyr0llr]

your welcome. Hope your repair goes smooth

[@Thinker669]

I don't have that problem. I need to know how it works because I'm swapping engine on my 1998 GMC Yukon 4x4.

[@hyr0llr]

So youd do most of rhe same steps. But just moving it over to the new motor

[@mikethompson9745]

I have a 97 K1500 with same common problem, However that is one clean Pickup you clearly love it and care for it.

[@robertfoilesjr1337]

Thanks

[@hyr0llr]

No problem

[@veggiepowered]

Iam Your Newest Subscriber Great Videos. I just got a 1999 astro van it is leaking oil really bad going to change the gaskets on the oil filter housing i hope it works

[@landenwolever1016]

Another video I saw said not to put rtv on the gasket. Are you sure that it’s okay to put it on?

[@Tyler.Schafer]

Did you replace the washers?

[@hyr0llr]

No

[@jjmccloud]

Good thing about a sbc leaking a quart or 2 a week is you always have fresh clean oil in the engine haha

[@jhanlon1903]

nice job i have to do mine, a had that belt squeek and it was my power steering pully had to pull it foreward about 1/16 to make the shaft flush with the pully and noise went away

[@patmiller2415]

I have a 94 Chevy K1500 4x4, it looks the same. I will be replacing the gasket & o-ring too because it starts leaking. I also have oil mostly floating (not much) on the top of the radiator & reservoir. I've been watching youtube & they said it's the leak from the "engine oil cooler" (not the blown head gasket). Where is the "engine oil cooler" & what does it look like? Is it the same thing as the "oil cooler adapter"? When I search online for "engine oil cooler for 94 Chevy K1500", it shows like "a mini radiator"? Is it the right one? Please Help. By the way, I'm a woman & have very little knowledge & experience in auto repair but start learning from KZbin.

[@hyr0llr]

The cooler would be attached with some lines to the assembly that you remove in the video. My truck did not come with the cooler, so i dont have any knowledge to where it runs to. After market oil cooler kits do look like a little radiator mounted somewhere in front, but are not attached the cooling system. If the OEM cooler is like the transmission cooler lines, then they would run into the radiator, which could be the reason you see oil if its internally cracked. BUT i do not know how the OEM cooling system is ran. If your truck does have the lines to this assembly, you can follow them and see where they go.

[@hyr0llr]

So yeah i just looked it up and the cooler lines do go into the radiator. So possibly a bad radiator internally, that would need to be replaced. Keep an eye on your oil also, you wouldnt want coolant to run into your oiling system.

[@kevinferrell7033]

Doest oil come out of the unit if the lines are not hooked up.

[@hyr0llr]

i dint have lines on mine. let me look online an see one with the lines attached.

[@hyr0llr]

so if i understand correct your 91 motor doesnt have coolant lines and the 95 motor does. and so you want to put the 91 adapter(without lines) onto the 95 motor. am i correct?

[@kevinferrell7033]

@@hyr0llr Yes you are correct. Or can i remove the fitting on the 95 and run it like that or will it leak oil...

[@hyr0llr]

@@kevinferrell7033 thats something you would have to compare the adpter plates. because the one with hoses, you probably cant plug if thats where the oil needs to go. so i would take both adapters off, and if the motor passages are the same then you can put the 91 adpater in. and worst case scenario get a hose to run from one of the hose connection to the other hose connection.

[@robertwilson4400]

Ok just want say thanks for the video, looked for a while to find this. But BIGGER PROPS for the STEELERS gear on the wall have all three of them myself

[@bentallman7597]

The new gasket is thicker cause it hasn’t been smashed yet got 10 years under heat so wait how ever long the old gasket was then take the new out that u out I and I bet it won’t read the same lol

[@kevinferrell7033]

Will the center thread thing change out from a 1991 c 1500 350 to a 1995 k 1500 350. Im putting the 95 k 1500 motor in my 1991 c 1500. I dont need the oil cooler set up . Would rather use the 91 set up. Will it innerchange?

[@hyr0llr]

i honestly couldnt tell you. this one didnt have attachments for an oil cooler, so if you didnt have it before, i dont see why you would need to add it. i would take em both out and compare before swapping it.

[@dennisdevore1648]

Thank you, RR!😊

[@vincentvillanueva3234]

Honestly man you look like my twin or something, but I have a haircut lol

[@hyr0llr]

thats funny lol

[@1theschneks]

Is it necessary to drain the oil

[@JeffAMay]

Just did this on my 97 Sierra. Use a razor blade on the old flat gasket cuz you can bet it will be stuck!

[@1theschneks]

Did you drain the oil first

[@hyr0llr]

no

[@landenwolever1016]

Mine has the two cooler lines attached. Any suggestions on how to deal with those during this? Anyone know if they just pop out and drain any coolant or not?

[@hyr0llr]

i would do at fhe time of a oil change so your not losing fluid.

[@1theschneks]

Perfect vidip exactly what is happening to my truck

[@adolfocantusr.4280]

Was that a 4.3l v6 or V8

[@hyr0llr]

5.7 v8

[@Devo1987]

Now just add oil cooler lines and then your set lol

[@limited50scla]

Have you replaced the oil pan gasket? I have a 2000 Tahoe limited 5.7. I went to the junkyard to remove one... it was a Pan in the ass lol I didn’t remove her starter or hoses.

[@hyr0llr]

i have not sorry.

[@terryschneider7344]

[@hyr0llr]
