Waiting on my second window....apparently the part number has changed again this week.  ?

 

Wait.. from our bad window to the first new window, they now have a 3rd window for this?   I wonder what changed and if that explains why Shamrock had a problem still on his 2020?   Ugh. 

If you get any info on that new part number can you share please?  

 

I spoke to my dealer today and the headliner won't be in until late next week from Michigan!   By the time it even arrives i'll be at 11 - 13 days in the shop at that point. 

 

Thanks,

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.

My dealership and the customer service people just keep telling me they don’t know when the headliner is shipping.

Picked mine up today.  22 days for the window to come in.  Hopefully this is it.  Part number on paperwork is 84699138

Also shows they reprogramed the ebcm due to the CEL being on after the recall.  The reprogram was under pit5728b

Another rear window leak question... Have a 2020 AT4 5.3 built in Mexico. We have been substantial rain around here weekly and I have been looking for leaks religiously. I have yet to see water or feel any dampness BUT tonight I THINK i noticed a FAINT stain in my rear passenger side headliner. It’s been raining all day, it doesn’t feel wet or damp, so the question is, how noticeable are stains on dark headliner? Have any of you got your windows based just on headliner stains? I know, first I need to determine if it’s actually stained or not, I am just trying to be proactive. Are there many 2020’s have leaked?

The new window I got this week has that same part number.

Just got a call. I'm on like day 50ish. But they are finally agreeing to replace the back window to fix the sloppy mess they made. Lemon case is still ongoing. The party continues......

Updated on the 2018 Fort Wayne Assembly TB.

Dealer attempted to repair fix with 12 dollar bottle of caulk as suggested by GM service bulletin despite me advising not to do so.

In the process, dealer ruined the headliner, broke the interior dome light, and caught the swift hand of my legal team after telling me "I'm not worth it to lose my business". Apologies were soon given after GM called them.

Window ordered in Jan 2020. GM made them send the truck to a body shop closer to me that specializes in insurance repairs and dealer work.

New window installed Jan 31st no leaks. Replacement model was FUYAO 43R - 000072. The exact same one that was in it to begin with. So, we'll have to see if this is a bogus window as well.




As for the trash headliner and interior dome light, dealer and CS supervisor are saying they're on national backorder at the moment but the parts are in queue.



What a helluva car buying experience! They should just market that every Silverado with a rear sliding glass comes stock with a koi pond!

I'm not sure what all the numbers mean, but seeing quite a few number changes.

Looks like we received the same model man.

Also, I'm from GA too brotha! #GODAWGS

 

 

 

The first section, “43R”, indicates the part conforms to  European standard of safety regulation number 43. The set of numbers that follows, “000072, is the approval number assigned to the part.

 

So my assumption is this is a new batch of windows -- I may be mistaken though.

For record keeping, the body shop says the issues they found were the cracks in the upper rear pillars and cracks within the plastic assembly.

Here's photos of the repair process.

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. 

So I took it through the car wash last night after work and I made a point to turn around and look carefully as the water was rinsing over the truck. It was leaking in both corners pretty badly.  I have an appointment for Monday morning, to take care of the brake module reprogramming recall and now this.  Ughhh!

Is it fair to say it is the less than stellar plastic used by the rear window manufacturer that's cracking and thus causing the leaks?  I saw the picture posted here earlier of the cab design where it slops down behind the spoiler and onto the top fo the rear window frame.  I know some say it is a bad cab design.  And I get GM has say in the quality of the plastic being used on the frame, so GM is accountable.  Just asking the question to better understand the physical fault point.

Got my truck back and it doesn’t appear to be leaking even with a pressure washer. On the bright side (sarcasm) I asked them to balance the wheels + tires because I had a hint of vibration and they damaged 3 out of 4 wheels and the balance is worse than when I took it in. So they’ll be replacing wheels next week. On top of that they “washed” the truck before I picked it up and looks like they washed the piano black trim between the windows with rocks.

 

Absolutely astounded by the incompetence of of these dealers.

 

Lots of GM’s in my past but this will be my last.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Thanks for that, yes just because I could I measured what came out just to give me some guidance although I already knew to expect it to take at least 9.5 to just throwing in the whole 10 quarts off the shot and doing a one and done heat cycle to drop out the excess to get to the proper level. I don't recall exactly now what I measured that came out but was less than I put back in, I knew I spilled some on the garage floor but the main part was that I was thrilled in the discovery I did not have to touch my exhaust to flex it down. The gasket manipulating is a pain of course to create that clearance to take the pan out and put back in but its all very doable if one is careful and not forcing the gasket to flex too much. From the quote I got at a transmission shop of 900.00 here in Canada ( never asked at the dealer what they charge ) I saved 700.00 doing it myself after paying for the supplies so that to me paid very good wages !, and I knew what fluid was put in and that I had changed the filter and that the level is correct without any doubts.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Typically its said and I agree so far that the engine oil drain plug oring is not required to be changed out unless you see some damage happening to the oring as apparently the oring lasts well. The dealer I have been getting a few parts from never even stocked the oring but instead stocked the whole drain plug that comes with a new oring which for the dealer is easier because they just throw in a new drain plug if there was any question about damage on it as well and charge the customer accordingly but again only if it is needed.    Also a hint about the drain plug oring to help it last vs a risk of causing damage to it, after its been removed and wiped off or washed off ( that is a whole other topic about some solvents damaging orings because some solvent types do ) to make sure to relube the oring with a bit of new oil so that it won't "grip" on the sealing surface of the pan and needlessly stress out the oring. Its no different than putting some oil on the sealing ring of the engine oil filter. So I just grabbed a new drain plug to have on hand although more recently bought just the oring as well but as its special it costs half the price of the drain plug ... !   Since you mentioned the hate to be empty handed theme, I am not sure what you have in the way of filter removal tools as I like using the exact sized for the filter steel 1" wide band with side to side swivel handle filter removal tool, and it can be used to snug up the filter without risk of damaging a filter as well ( its probably a lisle brand I have ). The drain plug hex size is 15mm and I always like using a 6 point socket if I have a choice and with this truck I've been using just a 3/8 ratchet that has a fairly long handle. Do you have a funnel that will work to pour oil in as that is definitely the short coming bastard part about the design with that fill port on the valve cover on such an angle that no normal funnel will even work. There are adapters and things on the market that will set into or screw into that fill port, I didn't want to deal with US shipping as that is all I was seeing at the time so caved and bought a Lisle brand multi vehicle fit adapter funnel kit and it really works well but there are much less expensive adapters out there that work in conjunction with an off the shelf funnel that would do the job also. Now that I have it, I like how it works and works so slick with the shape of the Amsoil 1 quart containers I have now switched over to. Whatever you do, have a funnel system of some sort as you will be swearing if you dropped the oil and then realize you have nothing to properly pour new oil in without spilling it all over the engine !.     Other comments, quite a bit of oil flows out down the filter when its cracked loose due to the housing above the filter so let it dribble down the filter until it slacks off flow and then remove the filter to create less possible mess. It seems these engines can sit for quite a while and drip and if you have time let it sit there and drip out of the engine as much as it wants. Also a good time to grease the 9 zerks on the front end, that's my typical practice anyway to grease the suspension and steering each time I change the oil. And remember to reset the oil change minder ( not something I am used to doing with older vehicles and equipment ).
