I was called by the dealer yesterday and will be picking my truck up 4/23. They also advised the stains on the headliner were cleaned and are gone. 

On a side note to test the seals should I just run a hose on the roof for a few minutes? 

I found mine by hosing down the rear of the roof where it meets the spoiler and the top of the glass right under the spoiler.

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.

Same here. Just ran the garden hose on the roof and sprayed down the top of rear glass just like you would if you were washing car. I also would not assume the dealer actually water tested it first. Mine didn't and it leaked all over when I got home and ran a hose on it for 20 seconds. Good luck hope the got yours fixed on the first try.

Ok so I picked up my truck today. The service advisor said they checked everything cleaned the headliner and water tested the truck. 

I came home and ran a garden hose on it for 30-45 seconds and guess what?? 

WATER LEAKING INSIDE THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW!

it's not as bad as before but come on man..

Not surprising. The level of quality control at the dealership service dept is shit. My truck is more damaged everything time I get it back.

Well if it makes you feel any better you are not alone. Time to escalate to service manager and gm district rep

Well this journey didn't start well, but I think it ended well. On day 23 I picked up my truck on the way home. It was spotless on the inside and out. I could not tell they had the front window out and headliner replaced. I could tell they shampooed the carpets as it had that faint smell of carpet shampoo that hopefully will go away in a few days of driving with the windows down.

It was pouring rain when I picked it up, and I was out standing in the rain when I got home soaking it for 10 minutes with a hose. No leaks. Although my f150 neighbors must really think I'm nuts with 5 trucks in 4 weeks and I'm standing in the rain in my dress shoes soaking my truck with a hose.

I received separate phone calls from gm customer care, the service manager, and my sales consultant to make sure everything was ok.

I have to say after driving in a regular LT for 3 weeks, I am really glad I bought the trail boss. The Bose radio alone is worth the upgrade.

I still have my doubts long term but I am going to keep a positive outlook and try to enjoy my "new" truck.

I am excited to put this behind me and hope everyone else gets their trucks squared away.cdc528781884465ee430ab4b6282f4d1.jpg

Really happy to hear that. I check this thread every night hoping to hear an outcome like this. Way to stick in there. 

Enjoy it now.

Glad it worked out for you. My experience has been totally different. The service department at my dealer is full of retards. At least the ones that have touched my truck. They have been fighting me every step of the way, with the exception of the general manager. But I question his motives at this point. Whether or not he's really on my side. I still have yet to speak to the area rep personally, which I requested awhile ago.

Did they replace the window or just seal it better with sealant? Glad to hear there's no leaks.

The front window was removed and reinstalled to get new headliner in. The rear window had cracks that I verified, but they followed the gm bulletin to caulk it with sealant. First time still leaked, second time it stopped leaking so gm would not authorize replacing the window unless it starts leaking again.

Well here’s hoping your ordeal is over and you can enjoy your truck.  And hoping the rest of people in this thread get theirs resolved as well

I just dropped mine off today for water. I have a Denali with the rear sliding glass, built 9/18 at Ft Wayne. I have 7,500 miles on it. Thanks to this forum, i was frequently checking. I caught it early so the headliner looks fine and i put towels along the back seats to keep water from getting to the carpet.f67d84f3b074206b86a15bff2d8d6eff.jpg

Make sure you print that TSB out and bring it with you. And make sure they test it with a hose real good after 24 hours to make sure no leaks before you bring it home. Strange that you had that many miles and it just started leaking now?

I never saw any water until I hit 4900 miles on mine, and even then it was super minor, little run down the inside of the glass, nothing like others have reported with wet headliners and water on seats. I'll be picking it up today, I stopped in this morning ad they had it apart so I won't test it tonight so I let the sealant dry, I'll test tomorrow night. I run mine through the automatic car was at minimum of 2 times a week and up to 4 times a week and have never seen any water up until 2 weeks ago.

      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.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.
