It’s not like it runs all of the time if it’s not needed, and it’s not only temperature based.

Auto Rear Defog

This setting automatically turns the rear defogger on based on temperature and humidity conditions.

 

Doesn’t really matter though. If it’s a 2019, that window is gonna leak either way. It’s the closest thing I’ve seen to a 100% guaranteed problem. 2020s ain’t looking much better either.

 

Wait you were able to check temps of the “cycle” of the defroster when it was hot out but you’re saying it doesn’t come on when it’s hot out? So you manually turned it on for this test you did?

 

Just wondering. I don’t really care what people do with their trucks and I’ll keep doing what I do. I’m not trying to argue that you MUST turn the remote start defroster off. I’m just saying it’s what I do. Maybe one day I’ll do the same test you did, just for fun.

 

And yes mine is a 2019 so I’m patiently waiting for my turn to get on this list.

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.

Yeah, I had to manually turn it on. It’s not like I look every time I drive, but really don’t recall seeing the rear defroster turn itself on in the summer, especially on a bright sunny day where there wouldn’t necessarily be much humidity in the cabin.

 

At any rate, even in a worst case scenario like my test, you are not talking a huge temperature difference, or a rapid temperature change. Using the defroster as needed in winter would introduce a much bigger and faster temperature change than it being used in the summer.

So I was washing my 19 TB that was made in Indiana and found that my rear window is leaking a small amount. Just a drip or two on the inner back window on the passenger side. 
would you guys recommend just watching it for now since it is minimal? I have 2 years left on the warranty. Thoughts?

It's probably only going to get worse. You also don't want the water to accumulate, damage the headliner and potentially have mold build up. I would get it checked out and if the dealership is willing to change out the glass completely then might as well get it done. From what others are reporting, the full glass replacement seems to be the only real solution. 

 

I had my glass replacement done a few days ago. We've had some really bad storms up here in Edmonton lately and *knock on wood* its been bone dry.

 

Good luck, hope you get it sorted!

Thanks for the advice. I have a appointment later this week to have it checked out

Yes, get it fixed. I had good luck with the dealer and tech I use. They used the sealant and it has held up fine and not had a leak since on my 19' Sierra. If they know what they are doing you do not have to have the whole thing replaced. I've already heard of people that have had the same issues with replacement glass doing the same, plastic cracking just like the originals. Still having to add sealant to them also, so go figure. If the tech knows how to put on a good bead of sealant, it should cure the problem. Can't believe some of the stories I've heard on here about some of these dealers service practices. Good service dept/tech can fix this right the first time, but obviously there are some questionable ones out there that don't know how to do their jobs. I would have done it myself if it had been out of warranty, not a difficult job. Still, a new truck should not be leaking water though, just a bad design that I had hoped would be fixed going forward. Still love the truck though.

I just washed my 2019 and it was bone dry inside.  I sprayed plenty of water from all angles to see if I could get it to leak.  Nothing.  It's just like my Jeep Wrangler.  Lots of people complain about leaking where the freedom panels sit, but I can't ever get mine to leak.

I got my rear window leak repaired a couple weeks ago by having the roof spoiler removed and resealed. So far after one truck wash and one rain storm, no leaks.

Fingers crossed.

Looks like the FUYAO E2 model (older glass model) based on the shape of the plastic above the drip.

My 2019 sat in the driveway for weeks during the covid debacle and the window leaked during that time without me knowing. A month ago I took it for state inspection and noticed a very strong musty smell, the jack under the seat was rusted,  the tool bag was covered in mold,  there was fungus growing in the carpet passenger side rear and the passenger front floor was flooded. It has been at the dealership for the last nearly month and I got a call this morning that it was ready. They tried sealing the spoiler per the bulletin to no avail so they replaced the back window. When I went to get it today I was nearly floored at the smell when I opened the door,  they told me that they cleaned the carpet,  I told them that I wanted it all torn out and replaced,  can't wait to hear that story. Needless to say,  still waiting for my 50K truck

Looks like I have the vitro E9 on mine. Is that good or bad?

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
