That's exactly what I did. Silicone sealer around the XM antenna. When it sat with 4 inches of snow and ice on the roof, a few drops came thru. Dealer said he will replace the XM antenna gasket, no problem. I just didn't want the service dept to drop the headliner. Since I sealed it about three months ago nothing has came thru, knock on wood. Had more snow and ice on it and took it thru multiple car washes and nothing. 

Yeah same here don’t want the dealer to drop liner... I’m lucky to have it garage stored and seasonally stored in the winter, as soon as insurance is back in it I want to drop it my self and seal everything up with silicone, already did the brake light, have been through several car washes and haven’t noticed anything... maybe I’m just paranoid

laptop died, sorry for not getting back..

Anyway, it wasn't leaking from the antenna, it was the back window.  The seal was crappy and not a solid bead all around.  The dealer pulled the window, cleaned it and the frame.  I'm told they had a white page on this problem already.  Used a hard sealer and seems to be holding.  Thanks for all the input, I'll be keeping an eye on the xm antenna though, sounds like it has issues of its own.

The 2019 Yukon was finally returned from the local dealership to Carmax, where I purchased it yesterday.

 

In the service notes from the GM dealership, it said that they ran the vehicle through a carwash and found a section of the windshield on the top passenger side that was missing sealant.  A glass company was called out to "reseal" the windshield.  It doesn't mention that it was replaced so I am not really sure what the process was.  The Carmax salesmen said it "triggered" a corporate investigation by GM since they "may need to issue a recall."  I would take that with a grain of salt personally, but perhaps it was a manufacturing defect.  I don't really know, I just hope the leak is sealed for eternity.  Definitely somewhat of an odd situation.  I don't recall what the brand of the windshield was when I initially test drove two weeks ago, but yesterday I did confirm that the windshield was in fact labeled as a GM product.

 

This 2019 Yukon in particular has 34,000 miles on it and was manufactured in September of 2018.  It was also a Hertz rental.  Otherwise it is in very good condition as far as I can tell.  Put about 65 miles on it yesterday to give it a thorough test now that it is in my possession.  The only negative was some french fries and peanuts that I found near the hinges on the floor beneath the third row seats.  Let's just say that there were probably children back there eating during a road trip.  Nasty.

I was more after the principle of the matter that a brand new truck should not be leaking. I didn't want to have an issue down the road of a wiring harness or something not working because it had had water in it at some point.

You created your own problems by insisting that all those parts be replaced.  The more invasive the repair the more residual issues you are likely to have.

I have a 14 Silverado and I’m getting water pooling on the driver side floor mat. Thankfully I have weather tech mats so it never reaches my carpet. But, it is coming from up under the dash. It’s a very slow drip but I can’t quite find what the cause is. My headliner has never been wet, I’ve blown out the sunroof drains and I’ve also taken my pillar off while raining heavily and no water running down it. That basically rules out my antenna as the problem. So i have no idea what this problem could be. Any help?

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
