I was thinking the same... but my question is.... what happens if the window breaks after the standard warranty (36K) is complete ? Will they still fix it since there is a open recall ?

IMHO a recall is a recall and is always valid. Besides, I would think it will break before then if it ever will.

Had this done today at my scheduled appointment and they did a fine job. Although they had to take out the rear seat, it all went back in fine. No rattles or other issues. For me, I would rather take care of this at MY convenience than when it breaks. Stuff like this always happens to me (breaks) when it is not convenient. Left my truck off at dealer this morning and it was ready by mid afternoon. My dealer gives loaners for appointments so this was real easy. From the Service Order: performed recall #13318 for the power sliding rear window. Replaced rear slide door motor with cables and verfify that operates correctly. They only charged 0.8 labor to do the job.

.I order the slider as part of a package and only order the package for the slider. Received the truck with out the slider but the rest of the package was on the truck. I was a little offended that I was only offered the $250 refund and still charged over $400 for the rest of the package that I didn't even care for. I was offered to order another but I could not wait another 8-9 weeks. I was pretty pissed about the whole deal but what can you do?

Recalls are only for safety related items.

I wouldn't wait until it breaks to get it fixed. Mine broke in the open position, and closing it manually was tough to say the least. All they have to do to repair it is pull the back seat and remove a cover to install a new regulator, it didn't take too long. It's your call, having a window stuck open in Western PA wasn't an option for me.

Well, I stopped by the dealer and asked about the Service Bulletin on the rear window. He looked up my vehicle on the computer and apparently my vehicle has the new hardware as my vehicle is not listed as one that is affected by this problem.

My Ram had it and I used it a lot. Never had an issue and it was an 11' year. My current Z71 Silverado has it and I love it too, but I will not buy the 6.2 truck now that I was considering if they don't get this straightened out and back on as an option. I would refuse to sign the papers regardless of what they offered if I ordered my truck and it came in without the window. Heck, I went up to the LTZ trim mainly for the auto dimming rearview mirror and the turn signal indicators in the outside mirrors. GM needs to get this resolved and get another vendor by the time the 15's are ready. Total bull crap. No excuses, just change vendors. Don't discontinue the option, but rather constrain it like everything else seems to be at times. Minor stuff like this can be a deal breaker to other potential buyers, so you never now what this could lead to.

I agree that this could be a deal breaker. It might sound silly but it was important to me to have the sliding rear window. My old truck had it and I used it a lot. I got it on my '14, no problem yet, but it's been cold. My friend bought a Denali the day after I bought my Silverado LZT and he doesn't have the sliding rear window. I didn't spend this kind of dough to lose a feature that I loved on my old truck.

I've got the window, my vehicle was one that needed the new part. Took all of 30 min, had to remove rear seat. I never had an issue with the original actuator, but didn't want to either.

 

As you can see in the picture, there is an access behind the rear seat for the new part.

When was your vehicle built? I'm just curious as to when the fix was cut in. I have 3 child seats installed in the back and don't want to remove them if I don't have too.

 

Thanks.

I don't know about BlaznSaddles, but my build date was Sep 30 and I have the rear slider and Jennifer (GM rep on here) told me my VIN is not affected by the bulletin. I guess my truck was built with the right parts. (Silao plant)

 

There must have been a small "window" of time where they built as ordered with the new hardware instead of just canceling the slider.

I don't know if this is what is affecting my order or not. I ordered my Denali in September and it still has not made it to the dealer. I've been told that it's sitting at the port while GM does a quality control check on it. My dealer has no idea when it will be released to them. I can't find anything on the internet or on this site where anyone else is experiencing the same thing.

      Tire psi

      I just can't think of the exact term GM uses for that higher gvw package without looking at the website but basically sort of a trailering package and I imagine it may also have been created to skirt around the licensing fee differences between a3/4 and 1 ton that apply in some states although ironically I believe in some states its the reverse that a 1 ton is the cheaper truck to license over a 3/4 ton. It makes no difference here in Alberta but oddly enough a 1 ton through my insurance company is a bit cheaper to insure over a 3/4 ton as its based on the insurance statistics they generate.    For sure when ever you do have the chance to weigh your truck and to be fair, try to have the fuel tank full or nearly so rather than give yourself a false sense of the truck being lighter by having an almost empty tank.    In my other comment I was mentioning stock sized tires and partly in case someone was reading this and thinking they could lower their pressure down to what your aftermarket tires are able to do with your empty truck as that is a vastly different picture in the leeway you have to play with for running minimum pressures while remaining safe. I will say also that its easy to see from reactions of truck owners that may have been more used to owning a half ton in the past or a car and be it on a forum like this or in person etc that they get so wrapped up in that placard pressure sticker that they can't get their head wrapped around the fact that an HD truck due to how much it can carry can also vary the tire pressures drastically lower than those pressures ( typically more so for the rear axle on stock sized tires ) when empty vs some car that isn't made to carry much so the tire pressures can't be lowered since it needs almost that much pressure just to carry the empty car.    If I ever do find myself in the states with this truck, I will only be too happy to switch it over to the US measuring system as then I will understand all the dash readings. The only thing that is off for me slightly with US measurements is US miles per gallon as I grew up with the Imperial gallon and to this day up here anyway speak in Imperial miles per gallon ( I don't do that on this forum though as that would confuse everyone for no good reason ).

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
