I run mine through the automatic car was at minimum of 2 times a week and up to 4 times a week and have never seen any water up until 2 weeks ago. 

A little off topic, but is this a touchless auto wash you're using? 

 

I've read in another thread that someone with T1 Silverado had the front air curtain ripped off at an auto-wash. (It was not touchless).

Well my 2019 early build leaker was replaced with 2020 hopefully not leaker. No signs of an leaks on the window or headliner of the 2020 so fingers crossed. Very impressed with the 10 speed after th

No leaker here so can't do a 100% verification, but the problem seems to be with the spoiler design, regardless of weather the sealer leaks or not, and any cracks in the trim make it worse.

Nope, not a touchless car wash, I see no paint issues with my Cajun Red and I've had no damage done. I did the same with my 17 Audi Q7 with super dark blue paint and my 12 Lexus GX 460 and have yet to have damage done to the vehicle and the paint holds up quite well. Since my vehicles rarely get very dirty I think my paint doesn't get the scratches and swirls because there is so little dirt on the paint to begin with. Just my theory but it's been working for me.

yeah @econometrics that was me. No more automatic car washes for this truck.

 

 

Thanks for chiming in. I couldn't remember who posted that. I'm erring on the side of caution here and manually washing mine for the foreseeable future. Plus, it's a good workout with the size of the T1. LOL

So I dropped my truck off for round two of the rear window leak.. 

Who else is embarrassed that you get a nice new truck and you have to explain to people when they see you driving another truck (loaner) that your brand new trucks rear window leaks!

Ehh, I'm not embarrassed. Maybe when they gave me an Equinox loaner because it was a piece of shit. But not now that I'm in another T1 truck.

I wouldn't so much be embarrassed as I would be fliching at all the cutting faces my wife would be making at me for "just having to have that NEW truck NOW"... ?

Trust me when all three neighbors drive F150s and poke fun at you 2 or 3 times a day for 23 days it gets old real quick.

Ha! That’s rough. 

 

Not as rough as owning something as boring as an F-150, though... ?

Make sure you print that TSB out and bring it with you. And make sure they test it with a hose real good after 24 hours to make sure no leaks before you bring it home. Strange that you had that many miles and it just started leaking now?

I appreciate the advice. I live in Texas near Dallas. We don't have harsh winters so maybe the extreme cold where other owner's live caused the cracks sooner? I had been checking frequently hoping i was a lucky early build. I'm just glad i was able to catch it before i had to worry about the headliner and mildew.

So the dealer called me today and advised they are going to go ahead and just replace the back window instead of trying to reseal it a second time. I guess I was convincing enough on the phone to get them to do that instead of resealing it. Said it will probably take a week or so to get the window.

Let’s hope they got it this time. Did they clean  the  rest of the truck and get it looking good?

Picked up mine after the window seal, rained last night, didn't see anything this morning before I left for work. It's supposed to rain pretty hard this afternoon / evening, I'll check a few times tonight and tomorrow morning to see what it looks like. If I don't see anything tomorrow morning I'll run the hose down it and see what happens then. The only thing here is it was a very small leak to begin with, nothing like others have posed with wet headliners and water on the seat, I barely had a drip on the inside glass.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?

      Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      Yes. You need to check out that thing, and the hub further.
