3.5L rear water bypass joint leak

Hi everyone!
Just to let you know to check your rear water bypass joint!! They seem to be a problem on the 3.5.
Its not a big leak but the part is back order in canada (26) . My waranty is over because its pass 3 year (by 5months!!!) The truck has 50000km
They reason i saw the leak is because i check my truck with a flash light at every oil change i performed. Its a 14-16 hour job!!
Good luck!

 

Fairly well known issue. Who changes your oil? Dealer? good on them for doing a thorough inspection.

 

Im at 50000km and i did the 8 oil changes at my work shop . It was very hard to see.. and was to late for waranty

 

Where is it?

 

Naked farmer.
Behind the engine... seen from underneath.
Here a pic from the web :

 

I just don't see 14-16 hr labor there. Remove intake, what else? What am I missing?

 

I just realized you said you cause it, nice job. Did you try the dealer? Sometimes if you're nice enough they may help you out, even if it's after warranty on a known issue. Also, u can hit quote on the bottom right of my comment and it'll reply directly/tag to me

 

Your power train warranty is 5yrs/60

 

This^

Your truck is under warranty.

 

Powertrain waranty is 5/100000km and only the water pump enters in the powertrain .

 

Me either.. i think its more like 4hours ..
I dont have the procedure..

 

I didn't cause the leak.. i did the oil changes.

 

And i tried with two dealerships... even got in touch with an adviser that my buddys knows... and even then he cant do nothing.. he tried. Hes the one who told me there was 26 Back order rear water bypass joint...

 

Sadly its not. Not for this part.

 

Is that what the dealer told you? I'm would like to know why myself. Isn't that a component of the engine?

 

I was converting to miles, and did dealer say that bypass is not covered? It attached to engine, so would be part of power train as why water pump is covered. I would push this on them, even go over their head, on this... It's BULLSHNIT.....

 

I figured if the dealer is saying no, call corporate. If it is in fact powertrain under their warranty, they'll deal with the dealership themselves.

 

Here you go.the conversation with my buddy at the dealership.
And he tried to help me
..

 

All that says is that he did his "research" and that he'll work with you on the price. Call Corporate, this is 100% bs.

 

Yes they said (2 dealership) that its not covered. Only water pump.
