A bar bolted to the bed does nothing to reinforce the cab.

Exactly if that was the case, then every one of us with camlockers would be set. Ha!

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.

No, but it does make it look like a sporty wannabee Avalanche instead of a notch back rock and manure hauler,  lights help in the woods when camping,  and for rock crawlers it prevents their brains from decorating the headliner when they roll it and that paper thin roof you can flex with a finger caves in.

Umm ok , right on there Mr. Sport Bar dude. ?

 

I was referencing the topic at hand with my statement.  While true I guess, none of your reasons for loving your sport bar so much have any effect whatsoever on the rigidity of the cab (when right-side up) as it relates to the rear window.

Dropped my 2019 Rst off today. Mine didn’t show any drops from the window almost looks like it’s coming from the spoiler. This sucks no telling how long this happened while on the lot before I bought it.

It could be the holes up top the spoiler bolts mount in, the window frame itself having stress cracks, the uerethane gasket, or possibly all of these things. My 19 that sat on the dealer lot for 6 months showed multiple water stain rings on the headliner. On my 2020 with a leak it was just dripping in the window but the headliner wasn't wet like my 19. It is up to the tech to diagnose where the leak is coming from then proceed from there.

I had made my original appointment for my window with the dealership I purchased the truck at. That dealership is close to a hour drive away. After reading all these nightmares about repeat trips to the dealer I decided to go by my local dealer today just to see what they would say about the situation. I have all my recalls scheduled, my first service scheduled, and a new rear glass ordered. They are not sure when the new window will get to the dealership. Get everything done on one trip. And then keep my fingers crossed on the new rear window. Before you ask about how I got a new window on the first trip to the dealer, I have a pretty large crack in the plastic trim around the sliding window. So I'm happy so far, came out better then expected.

Well today makes day 60 of owning the truck and day 30 of the dealership having possession of it for the repairs.
That is a beautiful thing. Depending on your state(most are 30 days) you qualify for lemon law. That makes your leverage go way up, and I would be tell district rep you want them to put in for a repurchase.

Very heavy rain for the last 12-18 hours. No leaks. I just hope the repair holds up. Mixed results with other members here. I will always look back there and  check it out. It's very disheartening. I love the truck other than this. Sad to hear the 2020's may be having the same problem.

Really disheartening but now you should have a great case for GM to ‘make it right’ and get you in something that’s not broken.  Hope that it’s easy process for you and not something drawn out with lawyers and things

North Carolina is 20 days. Not work days, or exceptions for holidays but 20 days in a twelve month period “or” 4 trips to the dealer for anything. The worst part of it is err packing right now for a 5 day ski trip in WV. Supposed to snow tomorrow and Wednesday when well be driving up and Saturday and Sunday for the return trip in my wife’s 2wd traverse. I’d take the dealerships Malibu but my skis and luggage won’t fit in the little thing.

If it's below freezing just ask for your truck back

Wow sorry to hear that , keep us posted I don’t see how this isn’t a recall yet ? Guess the “number “ hasn’t been met. My local dealer acted like they never heard of such.

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
