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.

Ok guys. Have gotten my dealership owners cell number and called and received a call back. Explained everything I could remember to him and he said it was totally unacceptable and he was putting his best people on it. So at 5 to 5 this evening I get a text that my headliner is now delivered and they are starting now. The window will be replaced tomorrow morning.

On TFL trucks YouTube video of their trail boss, I commented to check for leaks occasionally in the back. Idk if they read those but I'm sure if they get a leak they will surely let everyone know. Theirs is a 2020 but I think some of those are leaking as well.

I have read through so many posts on this topic, most people arent posting the type of rear window they have.  Are folks with the fixed rear window experiencing same issues?  I could care less about the sliding rear window will really never use it.  Wondering if I should just have it replaced with a fixed glass unit.

Don't do that. You'll kill your resell value.

It’s always the sliders. But if yours doesn’t presently leak, I wouldn’t have it pulled out and replaced because you’re just inviting new damaged parts, shoddy work, and maybe a spoiler leak in the end anyway. Not to mention denial of warranty on anything pertaining to future leaks.


I know a lot of people here have had an awful experience with their window leaks/ replacement but it’s really, truly not that bad if it does happen and you have a decent dealer helping you.


Is it a widespread problem? Yes. Is it the end of the world? Not really. Wasn’t for me. I’m just frustrated that GM still hasn’t really addressed it in the trucks rolling off the line now. That’s the worst of it.

mine is leaking.  just got the seal fix and its still leaking.  there is a visible crack in the plastic.  Going to take it back tomorrow.  Hearing that even the replacement sliders they are putting in are failing too thats why im concernes.  I simply just want this to be done,  i dont think a fixed window will kill reseale value, its still a High Country with a 6 2 and almost every option available,  but i could be wrong but when trading in, i doubt that would even be noticed.  The fact is i love this truck other than the leak.

That’s exactly what I would want to do if mine were to develop a leak. Seems like It’s the best solution. Why put another slider in if it’s the same one bound to crack again

Agreed would be just my luck that the replacement would begin leaking at 36001 miles

Haven’t seen this answer so sorry if it’s been asked but is this problem isolated to the 1500 or are people having problems with the new 2500/3500 too?

Oddly, it’s rained like the flood here the past week off and on, and my previously-resealed-leaking-still-window didn’t leak. ??‍♂️???‍♂️
 

Yet, whenever I have a little morning dew on the top of the truck, I see a drip on the sliding frame corner. ?

Just got my truck back from the seal "fix" and guess what.... it still leaks..... back to the dealership tomorrow 

Sorry. Welcome to the club. It’s like applying for a loan. “Did you get your window resealed? If yes, continue to next step.” 
 

Very few of us have had the sealant application stop the leak.

There was at least one 2020 HD in here. Probably 30 pages ago at this point but I distinctly remember it.

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
