Honestly id rather have the sliding rear window. But you can add an aftermarket job. But it may never be as good as the oem unit. Depending on the shop who installs it

I don't even see a need for the rear windows opening in my truck.

I guess you don't have many people in the back seat of your truck.. When I had an extended cab with no slider there was nothing worse then being trapped in the back with no opening windows!

no one rides in the bed of my truck. Having been a fireman for 20 years I've seen what transpires with bed riders first hand. Its not nice. I've seen it from 5 mph rollovers while 4 wheeling to freeway speeds. bad mojo .

All sunroofs leak a bit, factory or aftermarket. That's why they have drip trays and drain hoses. As long as you find an experienced shop, you should be fine.

All sunroofs leak a little? No they do not. I have had them in at least 8 vehicles, 7 factory and one aftermarket, and none leaked a drop.

I do pretty often. They have rear vents so it's ok. I prefer having the rear windows so they can't open. No leaks now. :)

So my girlfriend thinks that my truck needs a sunroof. It has a lift and 35's on it so you really wouldn't be able to see it from the outside. My only concern is the possible leaking I would have since it would be a aftermarket not a factory sunroof. Does anyone have any experience with a aftermarket sunroof?

 

This was basically the only option I didn't get with my truck. My dealer said they would put one in for me. I decided I don't need a sunroof but they would have done it. I don't remember the exact price, it was back in August, but I remember thinking it was pretty reasonable.

Love my factory sun roof, hate the factory bug screen, noise maker POS. I'm about to purchase the wind visor for the sunroof from weathertech.

I had one in my last truck (a Frontier), and used is a few times. Driving to work one day and it sounded like a gun shot above me. Thing exploded for absolutely no reason I could ever figure out. It cost me $500 for a used part to be installed. When I went looking for my Sierra, I specifically did NOT want one. Shop that replaced it for me said they have a couple come in each week from all makes. I didn't get my money's worth out of it.

Sounds like a good excuse to trade it for an LTZ or High Country.

What year model GM truck are you referring to? My 2009 and 2014 extended and double cabs all 4 windows rolled down. Matter of fact when I went from my 01 to my 09 I was so used to reaching down and hitting the button to get in the gate at work. When I got in the 09 I hit the rear window button all the time.

I love the rolling down back window in my brothers tundra. Good to get the cold ones from the cooler while going to the lake or beach. Sunroof gives any vehicle a sexier look. Is like a pu**y magnet with a sunroof lolWicked Galaxy Note 3

I've had sunroofs in my last 6 or so vehicles. I use mine all the time. Don't imagine I will go without one now. I also use the rear window slider all the time. It really lets the air move with the windows open.

 

My last aftermarket was a while ago but it was a Webasto and we had no issues with it.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
