Has anybody else had this issue?? This is the one I installed. There is no tab inside the neck for the thread on the old cap to engage. It's all smooth inside. And the old cap only fits down to the o-ring, and not past it. What other cap is out there that would just push fit in? maybe a different generation cap??? I am lost here and not happy. I guess worst case I can find an expansion plug to fit it. Like Caterpillar uses on their engines.

Probably the corresponding Dorman one. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p...iller-cap-42315/11454153-P?searchTerm=Oil+cap

In looking at this, it says it doesn’t fit a 2009 Tahoe 5.3 or my 2013 Yukon 6.2. Did you by chance get the wrong part?
His is a 2007. But it shouldn’t matter. It says it fits a 2007. And 2008. But not 2009 for some reason.

I think in 2009 they changed the oil fill tube style. The earlier ones had a short neck and a big curve, and the later ones had a taller neck, I think. 2009 is also when they moved the dipstick from back near the trans dipstick, to up closer to the front of the engine.

Edit: Added a picture. And I think it was the 2000-2001 5.3 that got the really short one like this. Screenshot_20191020-190841_Chrome.jpg

Strange.

I do know the extra filler cap I bought for my ‘07 Denali fits on my ‘13 Denali as well as my ‘07 Silverado.

Odd.

Here are some pictures of my ‘13 with the extra cap I had for my ‘07 (don’t ask) and the one from my ‘13. Both fit in the fill tube.

So after I put in the new battery, obviously the clock reset. Now I can't get the clock to put a time in. Anyone ever have this problem?

That's exactly what my old one looks like. The o-ring won't fit in the tube and there is no tooth for that thread to catch onto.
Maybe the Dorman one fits both tubes. The caps don’t need to screw in BTW. My Clean Side Separator just pushes on, the o-ring seals it up. But if I were you Id just but the OEM tube.
