Mines not leaking yet that I’ve seen but I did find a crack in the window frame yesterday?  Will GM replace it just due to a cracked window frame?


Pssshhhh no. They don’t even replace them when they are cracked and leaking.

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.

Finally took mine in to get leak fixed.  Mine was only a small leak and didn’t do it all the time.  They did the TSB caulking work and did a neat job, no globs, smears or scratches.  I spoke to service mgr and they looked but found no cracks in frame.   He said  The  spoiler was not sealed correctly and was leaking.  So far it is dry after testing at home.  Time will tell if it works.

Picked up my truck last night.  Everything looks good, body shop did a great job, and believe me I inspected it... They said they replaced the rear window but also discovered a leak in the front A-pillar where the sunroof drain wasn’t properly connected. Also noticed the carpet and padding was wet so they replaced that and all the carpeting. I guess I should say thank you that they actually took the time to inspect everything and replace what needed to be but REALLY.... Why do we spend $60k and buy brand new trucks? It’s supposed to rain for the next couple days so I guess we’ll see. Fingers crossed...  Btw, the service rep was very apologetic and felt really bad, even though none of it was HIS fault. Nonetheless he gave me the next 4 oil change/tire rotations for free. A nice gesture...

Good News!  Glad to see they took care of you and your vehicle.  Interesting about the sunroof, as now that is another thing to check.  
Here’s hoping it stays fixed

For those of you having good luck with your dealers, would you mind posting what dealership you had your work done at? I think it would be helpful for anyone who comes along and lives by one of those to save some time and headache.

I wish I would have had a satisfactory experience in all of this.

Bridgewater Chevrolet in Bridgewater NJ tried the caulk repair once, did a decent job but didn't work, they called GM and got a new window approved for 2nd. appointment, window replaced and no leaks since. They sent it out to a glass shop to replace the window as a FYI.

Ingersoll Auto of Danbury CT.  Salesman was Dave B.  And service was Don.  Great place and great guys.   Would HIGHLY recommend.  
 

Oh yeah, they changed my mirror caps from the chrome to the black (I had asked about in one of the other posts) much better now...?

I had my first repair (caulk as per TSB) done at Bennett Chevrolet in Egg Harbor Township NJ.  They did a good job and returned truck detailed.   It was just done Monday And it is good so far, but time will tell.

I posted about a week or so ago that I didn’t have time to read all the pages of this thread.  While I still haven’t read them all I have been through about 50 of them and that’s enough.  

 

I am having second thoughts about buying one of these trucks.  All the dealers near me are in lockdown so I have time to think about it.   The idea of spending this much money for something with a known problem like this seems like a bad idea.

 

 I don’t drive in the rain much and the truck would be kept in a garage.  I am handy and wouldn’t have any trouble doing the Permatex fix, so I may wind up pulling the trigger.   I have looked at all the trucks out there and like the Denali the best.  I have mixed emotions about finding this thread.

Not to deter you as I’m sure many people are happy with their trucks, but my Denali is the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Transmission promblems, leaking rear window, and every interior panel rattles already with only 1300 miles on it. The fit and finish and overalll build quality is horrible imo. Hoping I can get the issues sorted out but if not will be getting something else in the near future.

Had  my 19 Denali window caulked at Goldstein GMC Albany NY back in early December. They did a very neat job. No goop anywhere, no stains, no scratches. Could not even tell they did anything except the sealant smell that faded after a couple weeks. Many heavy rains and carwashes since then and no leaks.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By fondupot · Posted

      There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks.

      According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock

      I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering

      I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
