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.

I'd be showing that to the service manager without a doubt.

Right now that is the least of my worries. I did ask if there was a transmission shift update for the 1-2 clunk on LIGHT acceleration I was feeling. Probably why it was test driven hard and put away wet.

Yeah they applied the sealant to the top of my rear window and everything is good so far. A repair like this should be warranted for as long as you own the vehicle or at least 3 yrs / 36000 miles from the date of repair. The dealership ended up scratching the Air Bag Trim piece on the passenger side which they said they will replace after pointing it out.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the hard acceleration. The threshold to be considered hard is very low. Maybe 50% throttle. It shows up constantly on my driving score. Hard breaking doesn’t come up as much.

So I have a new headliner on order. Do they need to remove front and rear window or just the front to replace the headliner? If they have to remove rear anyway I am going to make a strong push to replace it because of the cracked frame.

Since they pull down the rear of the headliner to remove the rear window, I assume they do not need to remove the rear window when replacing the entire headliner. Per users that

have had their headliner replaced, the front window does come out for the headliner replacement. My guess is that the only way you get GM to replace the window is if it leaks now.

So you might want to test that initial repair with lots of water.

They're only going to remove the windshield because the headliner is too big to come out without folding it. They won't be removing the rear glass unless they have to replace it.

Yes sir we fixed the leak.....20 seconds with a hose when I got home. I pulled the headliner back and you can clearly see where the frame is cracked and the water is just pouring in. If they have to take the rear window out couldnt the headliner fit through that without taking the front window out?

I also pissed that they used black sealant and got it all over the place instead of the clear that gm specified.

My patience is running very thin.7177a89c5d8a4e70b1c20ec03b58d0b3.jpgc3c933e896b9c3aa96255bcf8dda6752.jpg82a0a6b504adbc143b878d3a59114d52.jpg9f0c4475421b138fbcff47e5de7b7569.jpga26123d5da6ecc55826ecc102af4fd64.jpg

Jesus Christ man. They ****ed up. Take it back immediately. They used clear on mine. And it's a black truck. Call GM customer service. Do you have a case open already?

I've been checking mine every day since the repair. Bone dry. Now they just have to get rid of the mildew smell. Carpet is first on the list, but I won't stop there if the smell isn't gone. Anytime I go out to the truck and it's been closed up for more than a few minutes, the smell hits me like a ton of bricks.

Man would I be pissed. What a joke. They clearly take no pride in their work. Escalate until it’s right. Sad you have to go through this. I feel bad for you!

You would think after 8 days of sitting there someone would have sprayed it with a hose. To them it's just a 2 hr warranty repair. I already have a case number. I asked for the manager of the dealer to call me tomorrow, and I also want to meet with the district rep. For a truck I had for 1 day this is ridiculous. It has totally ruined the new car experience. They sold me a water damaged truck and I am not sure any thing will ever make it right.

 

This is stress I don't need in my life right now. Thanks for all the help folks. Without this forum I would be totally in the dark about this. My dealer said it was the spoiler that was leaking. Probably because they didn't want to say the window frame was cracked in half on both sides and we did a shitty job of of using the wrong sealant to not fix it 8 days ago.....

Stay strong and vigilant. They need to buy the truck back. Make you whole one way or another. Like I said, I will NOT settle for a smelly truck no matter what.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
