Hello there,

 

New to the chevy/gmc community. I recently bought a 2002 Silverado 1500 LS extended cab. Beautfiul truck inside and out very well maintained. Only 72,000 miles at purchase. Now my problem:

The other day i was putting in weather tech floor mats and noticed under where someone would put their feet on the passenger side mostly it was very wet. And it was wet all the way to the door frame. The driver side was just a little damp which could of been from me before. I have had some other mats and it has not snowed where I live. I live in Washington state. It has been raining a lot the past few days. I smelled the moisture and it was definitly water and not coolant. And like the title says my rear carpets are dry.

I did some research and read about the AC drain tube. Problem is I have only used my A/C twice seeing that it isn't that warm up here yet. So I am ruling that out as the problem. I am looking for any other ideas to see where the leak could be coming from. Thank you!

Think i should check those then? I was afraid to see a body shop. I am hearing air coming from my windshield maybe it is leaking? Luckily the summer is coming so it shouldn't be a problem for the next few months so it gives me to time to find the problem. Thanks for your feedback!

The hose is one of those flattened end hoses or a straight open hose pointed down ,

 

The only way to be certain about windshield leak is a buddy checking inside windshield edge with a stethoscope while you drive ...

But windshields don't just start to leak ,

 

Good luck I'm out

High Pressure Garden Hose on your windshied while someone inside looks ... door jambs can leak, try the same ... sometimes the angle you car is parked can make a difference (nose down hill will make you think it's a front leak / the water will flow to the lowest point, lots of variables ... )

Ok i will have to try the garden hose. Thanks for the advice!

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      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.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
