Why can't All GM Vehicles Be Leak Free?

Time to trade it in on a new one!

If I do it will be a Ram or the new 2015 F150.

No harm in that. Things have changed. I'd actually shop brands too.

If I was looking for a half ton pickup it'd probably have horns on it.

Sorry to hear about the leaks.

Where are the hoses leaking, at the connection or the crimps? If the connections, can you snug them up and see if that stops?

As for the TCS issue, I have read from a wheel ABS sensor to the throttle body causing it. Do you have the hydro-boost brakes? The power steering pump provides the pressure for the brakes. If the hoses are shot, the loss of pressure may be causing the TC warning.

Hoses are leaking from the crimped connections up near the radiatior and the fluid is running down the hoses. I haven't had any drips on the garage floor yet, but the front of the skid plate is wet with a drips about to drop.

I'll monitor the TCS warnings to see if they happen again. I am in 2wd and all was fine this morning.

Not sure if I have Hydro-boost brakes or not, they are factory though.

hmmm....Probably up by the power steering cooler. Regardless, with 56K miles, that's BS that they are leaking. Hoses are hoses and if GM did cheap out, I guess cheaper materials used would fail prematurely.

The hydro-booster wouldn't have a brake booster attached to the master cylinder.

With hod rods we always say if they don't leak you're not driving them hard enough. Guess a lot of us need to start driving harder. Lol

Mine overflowed awesomeness; does that count?

Probably just residue off of something it crushed.

The Tahoe crushes so hard that Chuck Norris screams like a little girl. It cannot be compared. Apples to oranges.

Obviously.
