I had a Sierra a little while back and was having issues left and right. Contacted California Lemon law Center to see if something could be done about it; they were able to get all my payments back and even some on top. Would highly recommend any of you who are experiencing issues with your cars to reach out and see if you have a case.

 

Here’s their website: https://californialemonlawcenter.com/

 

I see you're new here and posting this same BS everywhere.  Not a good thing to do IMO and not everyone lives in CA (thank goodness).  🙃

PSA, I highly recommend anyone with the rear window leak to inspect your bose amp for any liquid contact.

 

I had to get my Bose Amp replaced on my 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 as it was causing some driver speaker not working and creating a thud noise. I had to shell out the repair as I had too many kms (~126,000 kms). I requested to keep the original Bose Amp unit, I found corrosion on the unit and the unit its NOT water tight. The bose amp unit is right behind the rear seat where the water would travel to.

 

I was fortunate enough to have a contact at the dealership that got a staff deal out of the repair, but I still paid about $900 CAD for diag and R&R. The dealership did escalate the case but GM rep was only willing to shell out 25% of the "warranty" rate, which would be more than what I have paid for in the first place.

Got tired of the crap repairs and had the window replaced with the solid glass. Hope this one will be trouble free for the life of the truck. I know I probably won't get another GM truck until the back window design is changed.

Welp, 2024 Denali ultimate. 1700 miles and leaky window. Did the Leevon method in the garage today. Maybe GM will engineer this problem out on the next platform, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

That sucks. After having several  leaky windows and replaced the last one with a solid window, there was still a slight drip. No where near the streams on each side from the cracked slider frame though. I now believe the cab structure at the window is weak as well, contributing to the window frame failures. I'm done with these trucks and their crap designs until they change it. Going on 6 years and it's still an issue... Guess it's like the AFM/DFM lifter failures that they ignore, too.

Can anyone link to the "Leevon" method? Cannot seem to find it.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      OCI, not when but why?

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
