Well, I wish good news. Ha! Had rear window leak repaired with clear silicone beads-3 of them at 8k and now at 8980 miles window is leaking again... so done with this truck. Hopefully my buyout will be approved by EOW. This is not just not because of window leaking, many more issues.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, got the leak after 7500 miles and 10 months owning it plus a collapsed lifter at 818 miles not to mention the DFM noise that constantly plaques me when driving this vehicle or the flashing strobe lights on my trailers that alert everyone to my trailers. So GM fix is silicone bead in between the rear window and metal. I’m including pics of the fix[emoji23] if you can call it that. So when silicone goes bad in so many days or years, then what? Will it be under warranty or will it be on the owner of the truck, which will not be me!! Sad that this kind of money, then to fix it with clear silicone. Didn’t even take the window out. [emoji30] just done with GM and there trucks after 30 years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did it on my JK but a little different beast. Sounds great for a V6[emoji12]..I want to cut them, but kinda got a few things in the works with the truck. So I'll have to wait[emoji853] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you ever try it? I was wondering same thing.

Thx for ideas. Just left dealer, they think it could be spark plug knock too. As I explained to the dealer, that I run premium in it. However I went to Chi town Mother’s Day weekend and stopped at some little gas station and filled up. Beginning to think that might be the issue as that’s when the acceleration noise started. So I filled up today at my normal station and will see if that helps. Otherwise looking to see if I can get my DFM turned off... [emoji1696] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m more worried about the noise when I accelerate. It sounds like it’s has a lose heat shield or something. The ticking I’ve just learned to live with it at this point. Maybe I need an exhaust like your corvette to muffle out the noise. [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well the strange noise continues but this normal- https://photos.app.goo.gl/ygu5Lp2hUmUvb6w68 https://share.icloud.com/photos/0VWVz-mcybGP_p-nEXhTafs6A Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Couldn’t agree more!! Still nosiest GM product I’ve ever had, plus the DFM noise is driving me right to lemon law or ?? I’m so past the thing and customer care is just point, useless.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Like that!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya, disappointed on this for sure. I’m a loyal GM person and never have had a problem with my Camaro, Vette’s, etc..So, unfortunately started a case with GM plus dealer is helping the best that they can right now. Heck, I just picked up Terrain Denali for the wife. So still have much love for GM, just not this truck. Thinking about trading off on a Denali HD, but going to see what GM says..maybe Lemon Law.. not sure just not digging the noise and motor issue. Should have kept my 16 for one more year[emoji22] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice!! Very clean and organized!! May I ask what this will be used for? General? Horns? Air? Is it noisy in the cab when it runs?

See info below..thx

Hey Gary, sound normal..I would keep an eye on it..mine started slow and grew into a diesel

I think that is completely fine..of course, I'm not a technician or engineer for GM, but I did sleep at Sleep Doctor last night..

Yes, they replaced the lifters, gaskets, a few other things. Dealer stated that there is a TSB on it (TSB#PIP5606B) maybe? When I picked it up after the repair, it was much quieter. I have 2200 miles on it now and the tick is coming back and it sounds like I have an exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold and exhaust connection. It's going back in to the dealer Tuesday as I now have a check engine light on. I called GM Customer Service on the issues and that has been a joke..I must say, disappointed in this unit. Trying to get a couple new 6.2's to compare mine.. As far as when the noise was present, mornings and after it warmed up. A little piston slap is common on cold starts and should go away less than a minute or so. Now my tick began as a piston slap in mornings, then just got worse as I drove it more. Then it was constant, never went away. I complained about the tick at 818 miles and took it in to the dealer..they wanted a video, got it, helped then diagnose it. I will say that the performance of the 6.2 is awesome!! I had a 16 5.3 that had a slight dry start slap, had 50k miles on it, ran like a beast.

Nope... just kept getting louder in louder. I’ve owned a lot of GM cars since I was 16. This is my first experience as well..truck ran great. When a guy asked me if I had the new diesel in it, I knew I had a problem?

Well, took to the dealer. Needless to say I left without my truck. Apparently GM has a TSB on the this noise. They are ordering all new lifters, arms, etc. So we will see what happens. Thanks for the input. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone experienced this on there 6.2 in the 19’s? I’m sure it’s the lifter/rocker arm deal.. Just curious, 1800 miles.. Thx https://photos.app.goo.gl/XnasnRzKNwV3AWKp8 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got them as well..Denali Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmmm.. Doesn’t look to promising at this point in time. I think I’m going to do the suspension max from 16-18. It has the bracket for the sensors and level it out. I’m researching the difference between magna and ARC.. I read where someone used a Rough Country and no problems[emoji3166] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks good..I'm surprised at how much bigger the 55 looks over the 45 sidewall. I bet it rides nice.. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

True..could always put a little liquid tape on the open ones at least that would close it up..just a thought..

Def some repair work..that will be a little bit of a job..

It was a PITA, thats for sure..I never thought about self tapping..Thats the great thing about these forums, we can learn so much from one another..I'm glad everything worked out..I have dealers, people, etc asking my all the time if them lights are an option. I tell them no, but I can do them for them for some $$$.

Looks Great..I'm putting strobes in now that will be on separate switches for more lighting on the side, and back. Your exhaust looks like a Corsa? I just installed that one myself the other afternoon..nice system..
