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.

They cleaned mine. Came out fine, can’t even tell. And it was pretty soaked on both corners.361CDA6C-C0DC-4F4D-A375-122D89B1C679.thumb.jpeg.1e647ed11ffeab07f1b1f7803c59af90.jpeg

Been about a year and a half since, haven’t noticed anything. And I am pretty sensitive to that with allergies and everything else. They had the headliner down and the seat out to dry. 
 

Window still leaks slightly but not into the headliner. Easy to manage. I’m just defeated and waiting for a worthy trade. ?

Yes I had the rattle. Pulling the headrests and “widening” the bars did the trick. Hopefully I can just enjoy my truck now. No leaks since rear window replaced. 
Thanks! This clarifies it a bit.

Mine got replaced. I wasn't aware of the leak issue and noticed some lines in the headliner so I got it all cleaned, only for a week straight of rain to have me find this forum. The picture was the day before I brought it in for repair.0f20b2936c106bb8c6aa09d435bd45ba.jpg

Mine is getting worse too.  Doesn't even take much moisture anymore.... just a light rain and the interior is wet. 

 

They discovered a foot of sealant was not applied?  Is that new info?  Source?  

The service writer told me a foot of sealant was not applied to my window from the factory.

That leak is definitely spoiler related. 
Yeah, mine was def the spoiler according to the tech who repaired it. On the opposite side not pictured, the headliner wasn't really wet but water was pouring down inside of the back glass. They went through it pretty thoroughly, and so far so good. Hoping it remains that way.

For the “leak test” after the repair what did your dealer do? I told them I do not want them wash my truck few years ago with my last truck they did and scratched it to hell took me a few weeks to fix [emoji35]

I ceramic coated my truck. Not a scratch on it. I wasn’t concerned. Although I do try and do touch less no matter how I wash my truck, I won’t let them wash it when I bring it in for any service to minimize the chance of any scratches. They had to test for the leak so I didn’t raise an issue

Ditto here. I ask the dealer not to wash my truck or my SS sedan especially. Best I could tell was it looked like it got soaked with a water hose, but they didn't specify how they tested.

I still need to paint correct and ceramic coat my truck. I've done a decent polish job and waxed it, but I've got a ceramic coating kit ready to go when weather permits....and time, ha.

Just got the leak problem on rear window at 1010 miles. Taking it to the dealer this Friday to get it checked out. Not sure exactly what they going to do to fix it.

It’s either cracked or they didn’t seal it properly at the factory. Mine was not completely sealed and they replaced the entire window.

Im holding off until spring to have the dealer take a look at mine. No rain here (usually) in the winter plus Im hoping theyll have a better plan of attack by then.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
