Nice. Purchased mine too. Your situation was similar to mine. Feel like we got good deal on similar trucks for $35k as residual value…considering the insane market prices.

I’ve searched and read through all the other posts about the issue. Truck is 2019 TB with 23000 miles My question is…. Has anyone got the engine oil cooler lines replaced before the dang things started leaking or worse yet blew off.???? Are the new lines now an updated part with a better crimp??? Obviously I may need to pay for it or do it myself because they haven’t failed to be claimed under warranty but I’m not waiting for them to blow off and damage my engine. Any thoughts or experiences on this would be very much appreciated! thank you

Nitto tires get two thumbs down in snow from this guy from Michigan. Always wondered why they were hyped up, tried them, horrible in snow and ice. Like others have stated you won’t get a better all season tire then the Michelin defender LTX M/S.

Thanks again fellas for all the opinions. As much as I like the older Silverados 03-07 I think I would regret downgrading to one from the TB as one user commented. I’m leaning towards buying it for $34k and I always will have option of trading in later if I desire. I think for the price I’m getting I’ll be able to get more than that on a private sale or trade in for a few years yet.

What would the next size tire up from the 275/70/18 that would clear stock Trailboss?

Thanks for all different thoughts on this. I guess one thing that n my mind is I’m not sure if the reliability of the new trucks for the price. Anybody have any thoughts on getting 100k trouble feee miles ?

So I own a 2019 TB LT with 22k on odometer. Truck is very clean and has leather and convenience 2. My lease is done in 2 months. My buyout price is $34,200. Dealer will give me 47k for trade in. Should I buy the truck and keep it? Should I trade it in and take money and get new TB for inflated price? Or finally another thought of mine was to trade it in and walk away with cash and find a 2003-05 Silverado in nice shape for 8-15k. reason I mention older trucks is them in my opinion were the best years of Silverado. Just wantin to see what others would do in my shoe. Oh , I do love the current TB I have. Tough call! Let me hear your thoughts Thanks guys and gals

Thankfully my brakes have been fine. And no warning lights. ( knock on wood) No recalls performed ever even tho I’ve gotten notices in the mail. From reading all this crap about no stopping power and no brakes at all, it got me somewhat worried. I tried pressing e-brake button at 35 mph going down my street in the snow. Did this three times. All times the brake clunked and rear tires pretty much locked up and I skidded to a stop. It’s less than ideal to have to do this, but in an emergency it will work. Also a friend of mine tried same thing and his also worked. Sad to hear of this crap with these new trucks. I am a Chevy truck owner and always have been. But I may Take a hard look at Toyota when the time comes in two years to dump my trail boss. Not saying Toyota is perfect, but damn GM this sh*t is getting ridiculous with all these issues. Good luck to all you

It sucks that lots of you are still dealing with this leak and how hard of a time it is for some of you to get it fixed. I guess I got real lucky. Mine leaked, they sealed it on top with clear sealer , didn’t work, a week later a new window was installed and no leaks. if I have any two cents of advise to anyone getting sheet about a new glass , get or go find a better dealer. Or another option...... hammer to glass...new one installed through insurance.

Well after my first sealing fix didn’t hold up at all, I’m happy to report my new glass was installed yesterday. Body shop guy was great and they did good work. Glass company leak tested it and cut window out to find that the window has three pieces sandwiched together and they were not right so in went the new glass. Went through car wash today and not one drop. Good luck to all you guys that have this issue.

Good luck to you with the sealant job. I was hopeful it was gonna work for me , but no luck. I taped my spoiler and window up with clear tape and somehow this weekend the water started dripping in on drivers side. Back of my rear seat is soaked and musty, I had towels to soak up the water but I took them out to dry over the weekend which was a mistake. And dealer says they won’t give me a loaner and to just park it until my new glass comes in which could be weeks!!! I spose I’ll just walk to work while my 55k dollar truck stays parked and dry. Starting to get pissed about this also.

Just in case anyone has this issue. My truck is build date 2/19. The rear window has leaked and been re sealed at dealer. So it leaks again. But since my truck does not fall under bulletin for trucks 11/18 or earlier the fix per GM is S follows. First, apply sealant around rear window, if it still leaks and cannot identify leak remove existing window and install same window with new sealant. If it still leaks after some time , install new glass. I have gorilla tape on my rear spoiler and rear window on my new truck window to prevent quite a bit of water coming through cab. And to make sh•t better because of the strike there is no rear windows available. This is pretty much bullish-t!!!! WTF GM!

That’s awesome. Hahahahah@,!,

Posted earlier. 19- trailboss. Build date 2/19. Window leaked two weeks ago bad on both sides. Dealer sealed top and actually did a good job. Well, today we got heavy rain and it still leaks and from what I’m told there is trucks with build dates past 11/18 that have seen this issue from GM using old stock windows. Body shop guy actually tracked me down a new window within 20 minutes. He said one of only two left because of strike. New window hopefully next week and no more water. I also stressed before first repair and reminded him to tell glass guy that I paid a lot of money for this truck and I would appreciate extra care to prevent scratches. Good luck to you other guys.

So , since mine is built 2/19. That means no window replacement or what ? I’m assuming it’s all warranty. I’m nervous to have anyone hacking my window out. Wish I could just do it myself
