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.

Add me to the list! Rear window seal has a kink in it. Still love my truck. Going to the service desk first thing in the morning. Interior is still fine no smell, nothing is wet, but with a running hose you can make it leak easily. 2020 trail boss lt bought in april 2020 dont know the build date yet.

Well it's been about 2 weeks and 3 heavy rainstorms with the truck after they performed the tsb and happy to say no leaks. The truck was at the dealership for about 12 days, the one time use bolts that hold the rear spoiler on were nowhere to be found. The had them shipped in from 2 different dealerships across the country. They did a clean job, but said 1-3 out of 10 that they do seem to start leaking again. I guess will see..

Well today is 6 months since i dropped off my truck 2019 H/C 6.2 at a local dealership for this rear window problem,  not the dealership where i bought it from because that is 2 hours away from me.  The window leak apparently  was fixed but the truck smells like a mold pit. I have been in 2 loaner trucks since November 8th The dealership was bought  out in December and that dealership basically washed there hands of it .  So about 3 months ago, end of February i got my dealership where i bought it from involved,   they have been great to my family and me over the years bought many vehicles through them.  They got there district manager involved and they offered me a full buy back on my truck,  then covid 19 hit,  the buy back division is furloughed and are unable to work from home and i cannot get a new truck until the buy back division calls me and gets me in there system,  so my dealership where i bought it from is a small dealership,   typically they only sell 2 or 3 high countrys a year.  So they dont have any on there lot,  so i found a  few at a different dealership which is under the jurisdiction of the district manager also, and that this dealership cant do deal swaps now because of the covid 19,  the buy back division needs a vin # on a new truck just to put me in the q, when they get back up and going.  Problem is right now and my biggest fear is that dealership in the northeast are running out of 6.2 H/C's my dealership will go up to 250 miles to get one for me.  I am worry that i wont find a truck and have to order one which takes about 90 days to get once they are making trucks again.  Oh i forgot to mention im still making my payments for my truck thats been at the dealership for 6 months,  which the district manager says they will reimburse me toward my new truck,  i also want to take advantage of the incentives tight now plus the company i work for has a discount too.  Whole time its been very frustrating.

What state are you in? I have had a similar experience, and reached a district manger. 3 months in the shop for this leak, still not fixed plus 10 other unrelated repairs in 7 months of ownership. Its been a nightmare. However, the district manger has offered a trade credit, but says a buyback is not even an option in my case. May be related to state lemon laws

Cracks all over the frame inside and out, posted the pics so you all know what to look for. They are going to replace my rear window. No e.t.a as of today may 11th 2020. 

 

all under warranty no damage to anything headliner, seats, they are all good. Sorry to the guys having lousy customer service, I've known my service/body shop dept for years. They tried to reseal it first but the guy they put on the job, just squirted some rtv silicone in there, literally didnt even clean the excess. I did the job myself later that day, followed the tsb, my service manager said it wouldnt void my warranty and gave me a tube of the recommended silicone, They didnt even bother to follow the tsb. And i wasnt gonna let them ruin it even more, if you want something done right you have to do it yourself, But you cant blame a whole shop because of one moron. I stopped the leak for now, now just waiting on the replacement window.

Wow that’s bad. I went through a similar situation, bad caulk job that I got to stop leaking myself. Mine came along with damaged interior panels, paint chips and the sunroof shade no longer working.

Rear window was replaced this past week due to cracks in the frame all damaged panels replaced and feel like I’m whole again. The new tech did a fantastic job and there are actually less rattles in the truck then before which I am thankful for.

Poured all day yesterday and new window is dry - for now.

Fayuo E4 is the replacement and I have heard of people having good luck with those. If it begins to leak, most likely going to fix it myself this go round.

@hotrodz37, Iam glad they patched yours up good and made it right, iam dreading the day i have to take my truck in to get the window replaced. I know they are gonna scratch it up inside and out. iam going to take a video of it, full exterior and interior. And what ever they mess up, they are going to fix and or replace (plastic trim). Iam not going to pay 50,000 dollars for beat up truck. I haven't even made the first payment yet. This sucks man.

2020 AT4, build date 12/19. No issues yet, but I lose sleep daily over it. I paid a deposit before I found this thread, or I would be driving something else. I am trying to figure out what is cracking. What in this picture is the plastic frame that's giving everyone issues? If what I think is the frame, it looks a little different than others I have seen in photos on this thread. Also, I find it hard to believe headliners are being ruined from water coming in through a small crack; wouldn't that happen due to leak under spoiler? Maybe we have two issues. 

 

Any guidance on what I see and what to look for would be appreciated. Thanks!

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Thanks for that, yes just because I could I measured what came out just to give me some guidance although I already knew to expect it to take at least 9.5 to just throwing in the whole 10 quarts off the shot and doing a one and done heat cycle to drop out the excess to get to the proper level. I don't recall exactly now what I measured that came out but was less than I put back in, I knew I spilled some on the garage floor but the main part was that I was thrilled in the discovery I did not have to touch my exhaust to flex it down. The gasket manipulating is a pain of course to create that clearance to take the pan out and put back in but its all very doable if one is careful and not forcing the gasket to flex too much. From the quote I got at a transmission shop of 900.00 here in Canada ( never asked at the dealer what they charge ) I saved 700.00 doing it myself after paying for the supplies so that to me paid very good wages !, and I knew what fluid was put in and that I had changed the filter and that the level is correct without any doubts.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Typically its said and I agree so far that the engine oil drain plug oring is not required to be changed out unless you see some damage happening to the oring as apparently the oring lasts well. The dealer I have been getting a few parts from never even stocked the oring but instead stocked the whole drain plug that comes with a new oring which for the dealer is easier because they just throw in a new drain plug if there was any question about damage on it as well and charge the customer accordingly but again only if it is needed.    Also a hint about the drain plug oring to help it last vs a risk of causing damage to it, after its been removed and wiped off or washed off ( that is a whole other topic about some solvents damaging orings because some solvent types do ) to make sure to relube the oring with a bit of new oil so that it won't "grip" on the sealing surface of the pan and needlessly stress out the oring. Its no different than putting some oil on the sealing ring of the engine oil filter. So I just grabbed a new drain plug to have on hand although more recently bought just the oring as well but as its special it costs half the price of the drain plug ... !   Since you mentioned the hate to be empty handed theme, I am not sure what you have in the way of filter removal tools as I like using the exact sized for the filter steel 1" wide band with side to side swivel handle filter removal tool, and it can be used to snug up the filter without risk of damaging a filter as well ( its probably a lisle brand I have ). The drain plug hex size is 15mm and I always like using a 6 point socket if I have a choice and with this truck I've been using just a 3/8 ratchet that has a fairly long handle. Do you have a funnel that will work to pour oil in as that is definitely the short coming bastard part about the design with that fill port on the valve cover on such an angle that no normal funnel will even work. There are adapters and things on the market that will set into or screw into that fill port, I didn't want to deal with US shipping as that is all I was seeing at the time so caved and bought a Lisle brand multi vehicle fit adapter funnel kit and it really works well but there are much less expensive adapters out there that work in conjunction with an off the shelf funnel that would do the job also. Now that I have it, I like how it works and works so slick with the shape of the Amsoil 1 quart containers I have now switched over to. Whatever you do, have a funnel system of some sort as you will be swearing if you dropped the oil and then realize you have nothing to properly pour new oil in without spilling it all over the engine !.     Other comments, quite a bit of oil flows out down the filter when its cracked loose due to the housing above the filter so let it dribble down the filter until it slacks off flow and then remove the filter to create less possible mess. It seems these engines can sit for quite a while and drip and if you have time let it sit there and drip out of the engine as much as it wants. Also a good time to grease the 9 zerks on the front end, that's my typical practice anyway to grease the suspension and steering each time I change the oil. And remember to reset the oil change minder ( not something I am used to doing with older vehicles and equipment ).
