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.

      Gas Prices

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

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

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
