Given how ugly these things are, you have to actually ask this question? 

I like the looks just fine. The leak is the problem.

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.

There's a leak problem with the back window? It's been raining since yesterday morning here in San Diego. I checked right before I went to bed tonight. No leak so far, and headliner is dry. After looking at the pics of the gasket being used with the clips of the spoiler I do have a concern about the force being applied to the gasket. When you're driving pressurized wind will find a way into the crack between the roof and front of spoiler and force water past the gasket. Imo, I think that's the issue here. I'm at 9600 miles since buying my truck in July. I've literally been coast to coast, but was blessed by sunny weather the entire way. The storm I'm experiencing now is the first good rain I've seen since August, but my inside is still dry. Keep in mind that I wash my truck at the DITY carwash with high pressure spray guns.

 

Oh, and I bought the Chevy because I found the looks to be sporty and rugged. I think the truck looks great. If I didn't like it I would've bought the GMC.

So far so good after the Sunday SoCal rain. This is the second repair and it involved a whole new rear window. Going to wait to have it tinted again until after another set of rain, which should be this Friday.

Nope. Fake news, we're all just making it up because we want Ford to stay on top of the ratings.

They seem to be doing alright then. Take a coke can, chop a 1/4 of it off to stimulate a truck bed, give it 4wd, and it'll still be #1. It'll crumble like a coke can too, but nobody cares because it is cheap (just like everything called "military grade"). [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

I believe the hot new word is “Tactical”. Everything is “Tactical” now.

Update on the Trim Lok. Had a few days of rain here and no sign of leakage. I highly suggest you give it a shot. $15 and about 15 mins worth of time.

Do you have pics of where you installed yours? Which size did you use? I bought two different sizes and was planning on putting some at the top of the spoiler and at the top of the window frame, but thinking I'll skip the window frame.

I used the .25” and put it in the gap where the spoiler meets the roof.

Thanks! That’s exactly how I was thinking of putting what I bought.

My truck too. New style 2019 crew cab with siding rear window. Ft Wayne build. Late 2018 build i assume.  Water marks on the headliner and water running down the inside of window when in the car wash.  Lucky it's mostly dry here, low humidity. I noticed it about 12 months after driving it off the lot new.

 

Anyone have a link to the other thread on this topic?

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
