Hello 

I have a 2015 Chevy 2500hd with 24,000 miles. I started noticing moisture in my high beam. I contacted a local Chevy dealer and they told me I had to contact the factory service being six weeks out of warranty. I did so and everything looked good. Set up an appointment at Darcy Chevrolet in Morris Il. Well after talking to the service manager he told me that they are aware of the problem and it is considered acceptable and normal. When he looked at them they were both fogged out with moisture. I also have a big problem with mice building nests on my cabin filter, I’m on my fourth filter I explained his reply was there was nothing that can be done. I feel this will be my last Chevy.

I don't know why mice building nests in your car is GM's fault. You have a rodent problem, any vehicle is susceptible. Hi beams, I would see if there is an issue with craks etc.

I agree I have a rodent problem, I live on a farm. My truck is a tool not a toy I have been dealing with this issue for two and a half years nests and dead babies on the top of my cabin filter the problem I have is parked within feet of my truck all the time is a Cadillac deville  a Jeep Liberty a Ford Explorer and a Dodge Avenger none of these have ever had any problem just my truck. As far as the headlight issue check out bulletin #01-08-42-001L I’m not alone with this problem. Thank you for your reply good looking truck you have looks exactly like mine from what I see except mine has the factory running boards. Good luck with yours Avalonandi

Time to put out a trap line.

And bait stations. 

Check and relocate regularly.

 

And upgrade the fleet of cats.

 

Once they've found a place to nest, they are going to keep going back as long as possible. 

Probably if you plug the hole they will find another place on your truck or another nearby vehicle. 

 

Best get serious about eliminating rodents.  Been there.  Done that.  Usually a frustrating project.  Best of luck.

There is a cover on the back of the headlights its round. Make sure its tight. Mice could have chewed this.

I had an issue with my 2015 Sierra 3500HD but not enough to impact light output and burned off with light use or being in the sun, everything was sealed and no issues with rodents. It is frustrating to pay as much as we do for a new pickup only to have these minor issues which erode our loyalty and confidence in manufacturers products. I traded to a 2017 Silverado 3500HD and have had no moisture issues in the headlamps.

I had same problem with mice in cabin filter... I took wiper cowl off and built a mesh metal screen to go over outlet to filter. There is nothing from the factory for protection from anything. I had leaves,pine needles, acorns and mice nest... no problems since

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
