Incorrect usage of RTV sealants (cure in the presence of air) may cause damage to vehicle components such as oxygen sensors. This is caused by silica
particles collecting on the oxygen sensor and contaminating the sensor. The correct application for RTV sealants is listed in the WDDGM parts book.
The correct RTV sealants to use on engines in GMC Trucks are part numbers 1052914 or 1052917 (black) or part number 1052915 (clear). Red RTV
sealant, part number 1052366, is for use on rear axle differential covers only, as it contains silica. Anaerobic sealers (cure without the presence of air)
part numbers 1052756, 1052943, and 1052942 are also used to seal the rear main bearing cap to the block on engines used in GMC Trucks. See the chart
below for a description of General Motors service approved RTV silicone and anaerobic sealers.
