My Denali with a TPW of 12/23 still has it on the build sheet. Just received the VIN today. I'll make sure it's still on there tomorrow.

From what I saw in the ordering guide the Denalis and the High Countries still showed it as standard equipment.

 

The 10/28/13 update to the ordering guide indicated that they deleted the option for all lower trim trucks. So my take is if you got a Denali or HC you probably will have the slider. If your lower trim truck was built before the week of 10/28 and your trim package originally included it you probably have a slider. After 10/28/13 all bets are off. Case in point my 1LZ truck ordered on 10/22 with the slider but not accepted until 11/06/13 will not be built with it (wasn't on the build sheet) Not that it hurts my feelings any, as I personally prefer the $250 off the price :D

Beautiful truck. Great color! I got my LTZ in September. Built in August. Mine has the slider and going to do the recall after the holidays. No problem with it but dealer service manager checked my VIN and said it needs the fix. They now have the parts in stock and said they are informing all to have the fix applied as needed. Must be pretty serious issues

Just came here to report my broken rear sliding window before seeing this.

 

Opened
and closed my window a week ago when it stopped halfway. I haven't had time to take it to the dealer yet and since it's 0 degrees here in WI I tried to manually close it. This definitely made things worse and it's still forced open 3-4 inches. The motor runs but the actual mechanical piece that gives/spools the wire that ultimately opens/closes the window is definitely physically broken.

 

Extremely disappointing, but at least it's a known issue and they can't give me any troubles when I bring in a truck with 4,500 miles and a broken mechanical part.

Sorry to hear about your issue. The dealer will definitely take care of that for you. I've only opened mine once and I won't be opening it until spring in case mine fails as well (-15 celsius right now).

I ordered my truck on 12/6 and the rear slider was available and selected. The order was confirmed on 12/9 and the rear slider was NOT included and the price of the truck was reduced by $250.

 

When I inquired as to why, I was told that there were known problems with the window unit and that the supplier was not cooperating with GMC to resolve the problem, so they dropped the vendor and discontinued the option until a suitable replacement can be found.

 

True / false - I don't know, but this is what I was told.

 

Hey Mudbone,

 

We have your order number saved in our PM and I will have Jennifer confirm if this will be included on your vehicle when she responds.

 

Let us know if you have any other questions,

I ordered my 2014 Sierra Crew Cab the second week in Oct. and it was built the second week of Nov.

 

It was finally delivered on the 19th of Dec and my sliding rear window had been removed from the build sheet.

 

Kind of a bummer

pretty sure of a option I ordered was removed I would be getting a hell of a discount or refusing the truck. Kinda pointless to order a truck and not get it the way you want it

They credited the cost and it was only added because it was part of a package so not the end of the world. They offered to try to reorder, but found that they couldn't order the window anyway.

My truck was built the week of 4-8 Nov and has the sliding rear window. I'm taking delivery today if the spray-in bedliner and Undercover Lux painted tonneau are installed this morning as planned.

 

My dealer sends the trucks to a local truck accessory business for this work. I went by their this weekend because I couldn't wait to see the truck. I verified the window was installed and I spoke to the shop owner pointing out the under rail bed lights and to ensure that I can still use all the tie down points after they sprayed the liner after reading the tips on this site.

 

Thanks to all that are posting tips!

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
