Got the truck back. The glass looks great. There are some pry marks on one plastic part it seems.  The back seat seems to be installed lower than it was before. I am not sure how that is even possible, does anyone know if there are adjustments?

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.

f8l vnm, I'll check the build date of mine whenever they get it done again but mine is a 2020 2500hd. They said they had 1 other 2020 in as well for the same leak. Is there a way I can look it up using the vin? May be a few weeks again before I see it ?‍♂️

Definatly going to video it next time so there no excuse.  I've read several post on this thread where people can spray their garden hose directly on it with no leak but a decent soaking rain seems to bring it out.

 

I regret not taking a picture of it but I went to a car wash and put a stream of water on it, nothing leaked. Yet, it rained and a little puddle formed. I can see the drops coming in from the top of the right passenger side of the window. Black headliner and I don't see spots, don't foresee them replacing it anyway. Has to be a pretty strong rain for it to happen though.

Ok guys. Just received a call from the warranty manager.  They have cleaned my headliner and according to them the stain came out completely. They also removed the rear seat and seat back and cleaned the padding and carpeting to ensure there so would be no mold/mildew issues. They also have extended my warranty to 60 months and 100,000 miles. They can’t make it leak from their water hose so we’ll see how it goes. There’s an 80% chance of rain on Friday and 50% on Saturday.

Picked up the truck and went straight to church for supper and a good ol property committee meeting. At 7:51 went back to truck. Opened rear door and noticed I can still see the water stain after it was cleaned along with a new stain. Took a ic and emailed it to Jarelyn my senior customer service person. I’m really frustrated right now. Just feel like I’m getting screwed at this point. What good is a warranty if they aren’t actually going to fix anything.

If there is a new leak it makes me think that it is coming in above the headliner somehow? Even though you can’t see it with a hose.  The headliner is acting like a sponge.

Ok just got a text from my dealerships manager. He wanted to know if it was leaking again. I told him it wasn’t leaking after lunch today but I’d check and see. It’s been raining  and misting since about 10 this morning. Took some pics this time. Water dripping down both sides. I sent him some pics and he said that’s all he needs for the next warranty claim and he’s going to have to go to GM to find out what to do next. I’m guessing a new window. They also looked at the truck yesterday and couldn’t believe they let it out with the headliner stained and have agreed to replace it. The headliner is back ordered but that’s not their fault.

To replace your headliner the windshield must be removed. GM's fix for the rear window is silicone first, 2nd attempt is a different sealer, 3rd is supposed to be a new window. I've been waiting for my back ordered new window for 2 months now.

This will be the third rear window fix. The windshield will most likely be broken during removal and have to be replaced but they can’t order a new one until the one breaks during removal.

They removed my windshield to replace my headliner and as far as I know, they didn’t break the windshield. He’s hoping for a good outcome!

2 months!?

My dealer here in so cal ordered mine about 10 days ago.  It was back ordered but I got a call a week later saying it was in.  Scheduled the install for this morning but then they cancelled because they said they never got confirmation from their outsourced installer.  Now it's looking like it might be going in later this week.  We'll see!

Ugh, I just called my dealer with the info you provided and they tell me "The people on the forums are wrong", can yu do me a favor when your truck is done, PM me your work order reciept once your truck is done so I can show my dealer, the dealers love telling customers the forums are wrong just to cover their butts. If you would I'd appreciate it, if not I understand.

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

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

      By superdave160 · Posted

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
