You guys are getting the opposite treatment that I’ve been getting. I got customer service people that claim the dealership won’t answer the phone and tell me they have no idea when parts are coming and can’t tell me what parts have been ordered. Today is day 61 without the truck. The signed for my overnighted letter yesterday. They have told me that in no way is this truck going to be bought back. Because they don’t have the parts.  The funny thing is I’m on here and on the Facebook group and there are people on both places that got new windows and headliners installed within three weeks instead of two months- and it still hasn’t been fixed. I’ve put twice as many miles on their loaner than I have on my actual truck.  And I have t heard from GM about my lemon Law letter yet.

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 called Saturday Jan 25th to make the appt for Monday Jan 27th and then dropped it off Monday Jan 27th. They replaced the window the next day Tues Jan 28th. They said they had a window in stock and ready to go.

You'd think your dealer could call around and get the part(s) from another dealer that has them in stock.

I took mine in a couple of weeks ago for the sealant job. They claimed to have "detailed the headliner twice" but it was still stained. I took it back Saturday and they gave me a loaner so they could attempt to clean the headliner again, but I got a call Tuesday saying they had ordered me a new headliner but it was on a national backorder. I got called today by the dealer trying to schedule to have it put in. So I'm dropping it off Saturday and they're replacing the headliner. Apparently to replace it, it requires removal of the windshield.

I notice a few drops on the top of the rear seat when going through car washes.  I hasn't seemed to get down to the carpet though.  I attribute it to the high volume and pressure of the car wash and the air dry.  I will keep an eye on it when we get heavy rains this spring and summer.  So far it's been no big deal.

I’ll wait to hear from them. They have 13 more days. Then I’ll get my lawyer involved.

Anyone had their rear window caulked and truck returned to them on the same day?

When mine was caulked in December, dropped it off in the morning and picked it up after lunch.

I picked mine up twice and dropped it off same day they said it was fixed after the caulking but I dont think that’s what your asking.  It took the dealership two weeks to get the caulk and apply it the first time. The second time it took them only three days to get the caulk and caulk it.  As I’m typing right now I’m thinking they probably just used the leftovers from the first time.

Dropped my off this Monday and I'm suppose to be picking my truck up this afternoon(Friday). They had to replace the rear window which they called and told me they received Thursday afternoon. They're still waiting on the head liner though.

You have a leak in your expensive new truck that's not going to just get better.   I've taken all of my cars for years through car washes an rain and they never leaked.   It's your truck but man... i'd get that repaired before your warranty runs out for sure.

They are supposed to keep it 24 hours after caulking to allow it to dry \ set and THEN test again.   Did it seem to stop the leak?

Literally dropped it 30mins a go.  Still waiting for a call to get an official assessment.  Gave them the TSB I got from here.  So I’ll update when I find out.

You're right.  I'll probably have it checked out when I take it in for my first oil change.  It should not be leaking.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL.

      Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
