This is a great thread though I’m still trying to get clear on what all comes with the oem 2” kit. I basically want to do the oem lift but use the eibach level one kit in place of the ranchos. I have an LT Z71 so I may have to do the rear spring swap from composite to steel as well. I saw part numbers for the rear jounce bumpers, though can anyone advise on the other parts and if they are needed? Currently I’m planning to do the eibach kit, longer cv axles, steel leafs and blocks in the rear as well as rear bump stops. Do I need to do the compatibility brackets or front jounce bumpers? If so, does anyone have part numbers? Any other recommendations? Thank you.

Looking for some help here: I have a 2019 crew LT z71. I want to level but avoid any nose up. Planning to do eibach adjustable shocks. My question is getting the level height right. When comparing to many on the threads (non trail boss or at4) my factory stance seems much different in existing rake and ride height. Currently ground to rear measures at 38 7/8 and front 37 3/4. Roughly 1 1/8” different. Same tire to fender rear 7 1/4 and front 6 1/2. I have about 20k mi so maybe some settling in. I’m concerned the adjustable setting on the shocks putting me at 1.7” could get me nose high. Of course I could add a block to the rear though trying to get it right with the front level. Were others this close on ride height and successful with a 1.5” or in this case 1.7” level? There is one lower setting on the eibach, but doesn’t seem right to do all the effort for .07”. Welcoming any helpful input here. Thank you.

Ive taken my vehicle in for service on this issue. Of course the tech provided the GM bulletin explaining that the vehicle needs to be at full stop for transmission to recognize it needs to start from 1st gear. Doesn't matter if Im at a standstill or not, I still get a jump that feels like Ive been rear ended. In addition, there are times that when backing into a roadway or out of a driveway, that I need to shift and go to operate safely. This also happens at low speeds, such as pulling in a parking lot of driveway, push on the gas after slowing and WHAM! I have zero confidence in this vehicle after 14 repairs outside of this issue in less than a year of ownership.

2019 Silverado LT Z71 Crew Cab

Yup. Still in the 2019. As long as Im in warranty, Ill hang onto it, and may push this back up the chain at some point. Im not letting my frustration cost me money on a trade.

Might as well share my horror story with this repair. Quick backstory, Ive had 14 total repairs to my truck, including this rear window leak. 145 total days out of service as a result of all the repairs including over 55 days with no loaner. Lemon Law arbitration in Texas was a joke, claim was dismissed despite: - Brake master cylinder failure plus 3x subsequent CEL for brake system communication issues - Brake system leak - Infotainment system reboot and distorted screen / eratic behavior 2x replaced unit, 1x replaced screen, issue persists - Back up camera replacement - Rear pinion leak - Window motor replacement - Body control module failure and replacement - Rear window leak. The rear window leaked and ruined headliner - discovered after coming across this thread (back when there were only 20 pages or so, ha), went out to look and sure enough two basketball sized stains in my headliner and water marks on the rear window, rusted rear seat hardware and wet carpet. Just the rear window included: Repair 1: Pulled spoiler - caulked and sealed and caulked rear window, pulled front window, replaced headliner Repair 2: Rear window still leaking. Pulled rear window, completely re-sealed Repair 3: Front window now leaking - pulled and resealed front window Repair 4: (as a result of repair 2,3) Cracked headliner in multiple places, gouged the hell out of my trim pieces and failed to replaced trim screw covers. As a result another new headliner, new trim pieces. This time I got 3x 3ft long scratches on my hood, and they didn't even snap the headliner in every place. Repair 5: When the window motor went out (now taking truck to a different dealer) this other dealer finally snapped the headliner into all the clips correctly. In short - Be kind but dont hesitate to ask a lot of questions. Im sure there are competent dealers out there. Also, don't hesitate to ask about front glass work, as most dealers outsource this to a local glass shop. Also, inspect the hell out of the work, and call attention to stuff that doesn't look right. My truck is a 2019 and was probably one of the first getting this repair. It seems like dealers are getting their heads around how to do it right. GM customer support is a joke. I had over 30 calls with them just trying to get expedited service on my vehicle and they couldn't even do that. Legal is the only way to get anything, or going to a news or media outlet. Ive spent enough time dealing with this that I simply don't have the energy for it at this point. Compensation Ive received for all this? Absolutely ZERO. Mostly because Texas lemon law favors big business (not to mention GM lobbyist gaining favor due to manufacturing being in TX). I talked with others on the forum whose states had consumer centric lemon laws, and they got new trucks because of it. If you want to get help - insist on speaking with a district manager of after sales. Dont take no for an answer. I had to go to 2 other dealers before a service manager stood up for me and got me in touch with the DMA in my area. He was the first person to show any empathy. They threw around some certificates and such, but nothing to truly restore faith in GM. I didn't want accessory coupons, I wanted a new truck or reimbursement for time out of service. I asked for a buyback and they refused. Its all about cost benefit for GM, they aren't going to do it out of principal alone. Ive handled everything cordially but firmly - every service advisor Ive talked to cant believe the lack of action on GMs part and said they've never seen a new truck with so many issues, but that doesn't get me any closer to a solution. Nice that some people agree at least, but not the ones who can do something. If I can help anyone else in any way - let me know, and hope this info helps others. Good luck if you're in Texas however.

What state are you in? I have had a similar experience, and reached a district manger. 3 months in the shop for this leak, still not fixed plus 10 other unrelated repairs in 7 months of ownership. Its been a nightmare. However, the district manger has offered a trade credit, but says a buyback is not even an option in my case. May be related to state lemon laws

I just got mine back from the second attempt to fix the rear window, which appears to be holding, but now had the same footwell puddle you do after rain last night. Have they fixed this for you yet? Would love to provide some suggested fixes to my dealer since it wasn't right the first time.

Thats my next step at this point. 3 different infotainment repairs, leaking pinion seal repair, brake failure, master cylinder leak, CEL for brake control module communication error 2x and still unresolved, leaking rear window, now back to the shop for rear window again. 22% of my days of ownership its been in the shop. Also, GM has stopped returning calls once I requested a resolution. Not every owner has it this bad. Ive been extremely patient over the past 6 months, but GM needs to own up that this isn't the experience they want for their owners. Holding things loosely these days given much more important issues in our world, but still pushing this along expecting a resolution soon.

Hey all, I came across this thread on accident a while ago. Thought I was a lucky one, but after having a series of other issues with my truck, I went out to my truck with a flashlight, and sure enough 2 basketball size water marks on my headliner and water streaks down my window. Well, truck went to the shop for 28 days getting everything fixed. Dealer explained it was my brake light and spoiler leaking. So they pulled those, resealed, removed front window to replace headliner, replaced all damaged items in the cab, and caulked my rear window. Picked up 2 days ago, and first thunderstorm and its leaking again. Fun icing on the cake is as I was driving today after seeing the leak and the check engine light is on yet again which is another ongoing issue. This truck is teaching me a lot about patience, although for me this is now the 9th time it will be in the shop in 6 months of ownership, a total of 45 accumulated days that its been in for repairs, and the 3rd repeat repair issue I've had that wasn't fixed the first time. Give your dealers a chance to make it right, keep things in perspective especially in these times. Although for me, Im needing another solution as enough is enough.

Is everyone getting replacement glass? Has anyone had an explanation of the repair? My dealer is stating they will reuse the same glass.

Wow. Yet another bummer of an issue with my 2019. At this point, my truck has had a repair every month of ownership and now this. I didn't even notice the leak, but came across this post in the forums. I went out to check my truck and sure enough, 2 basketball sized water marks on my headliner, water streaks down the window and rusted rear seat mounts. Truck is at the dealer awaiting parts. I haven't been able to read all the 119 previous pages and I have a question. My dealer is saying they need to pull my rear window and reseal, pull the rear spoiler and seal, and go through the front glass with the headliner! I realize the headliner is massive (crew cab) but Im shocked at them having to pop the front window to replace it. I asked the service technician about standard procedure and he investigated and said that chevy repair docs say to open the front window to replace the headliner. He spoke with the technicians who said they could try through the back window first, but if not would have the front glass pulled and replaced as well. Can anyone who had their headliner replaced comment on the process? Is everyone also getting a new rear glass? My dealer has always done a good job and been very meticulous on my other 6 repairs, so I have no reason to doubt them.

I had the update performed. Went 1 week with no issues then had a check engine light for a few days that eventually went off. Went back to the dealer and was told it’s throwing the same codes (loss of communication to brake control module) that the update was supposed to fix. So now waiting to hear what dealer / GM engineers have to say about my truck since it’s apparently still having the issue, although showing CEL vs the other warnings that have been a part of this problem.

If you look back in the forums, the infotainment update is unrelated to the brake issue. It’s the programming of the bcm software done by the dealer. Regardless, sorry you have this issue. It’s a bummer for all of us.
