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.

we need to file a class action lawsuit to GM and the dealership for shipping defective product to the market with out testing it knowing there has been a manufacturing issue.  We can also turn this into a health hazard issue as the leak will create mold and when mold starts growing in your truck from the leak it can be toxic and a huge health hazard.  I don't know about you but I'm making payments on a 50K dollar truck that I cant drive because they are taking forever to fix it.  We need to all go after GM in a big way.

I'd be happy just walking away from the truck and getting a Ford or Toyota...

I’m really happy with my truck so far. I hope this leak doesn’t happen again and drive me to the point where you and a few others are at... Been a GMC/Chevy fan for awhile now.

Seems like they gave you the wrong replacement window.  Almost everyone else has been getting Fayuo 43R—0000072

 

ive been leak free for a month with this window.  We will see

 

i haven’t noted any popping noises from roof / spoiler like I did with old Fayuo window

For me, the window problem sucks, yes. But what pisses me off to no end is the incompetence of the dealers. When I get my truck back, it should be in the same if not better shape then when I dropped it off. My truck with 1000 miles on it looks like it’s a year old on the interior with everything they’ve damaged.

Based on my non scientific Google research the E number and 43r numbers have to do with Europe safety standards. The important things are manufacturer fuyao vs Vitro, and model number which is M7035 (original design on my 2019 leaker) and M1235 (new design on my 2020 that also leaked and was replaced with a like M1235 that hasn't leaked YET)

let's go after these guys.  GMC and the dealerships are not dealing with our headache and stress to put us in this hardship so they need to pay the price.

I got my truck on the 15th and it has the M1235 window in it. It hasn't leaked yet but after reading through this I am nervous about it. We all have spent big money on our trucks and this is unacceptable.

Class action suits really only benefit the lawyers as they get most of the money from the suit. 

True but it will force GMC and the dealers to take action immediately and it might make it easier for us to get out of these vehicles or into a new one with less of a headache

In the long run not worth the time and effort. I (stupidly) after having a 2014 with the vibration issues (it had 0 other issues and was a great truck fit and finish wise) bought a 2019 that doesn’t shake, but has a ton of other problems.

I made some fixes myself to the window and if they don’t work, I’m going to get rid of mine for sure. I had a trade in offer for exactly what I paid for it so going to cut my losses and give another mfg my business. I realize the grass isn’t always greener but would rather not give GM the time of day at this point.

      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. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
