Water in hood

Might be nothing but I have a strange issue with my 2022 Silverado 2500 HD.  Whenever I raise up the hood after the frost melted or even a light rain, I have water coming out under the passenger side of the hood.  Usually at the cab side corner near the battery and in the front around the small bump stop thing.  Doesn't seem like a good thing to have water sitting inside the hood cavity causing corrosion.  Don't like the water dripping around the battery either.  Anyone else experienced this?  I'm guessing its seeping in around the faux hood scoop or the black plastic pieces on top of the hood.  Sure I could silicone around them but on a truck this expensive I'm hoping the warranty would cover such things.  Truck is parked facing up on a slight incline in my driveway.  Thanks for any help.

While I have not lifted the hood to check inside, those decorative pieces that say Duramax/Allison leak out water that runs down the hood after washing and drying the truck for a day or so. Annoying more than anything due to water spot streaks.

I always get the annoying water that's puked out the air intake scoops onto the hood, grille and bumper after washing my truck (I always go around the block after washing so I can wipe it clean before putting away).  But, I've never really checked under the hood.  I guess I will now ...

I simply raise the hood after washing the truck and let any water trapped under the hood furniture drain away.  Put the hood down after drying the truck and the problem is solved.  You won't have a problem with water running out later or spraying out in a mist driving the first few miles after the wash.

Thank you for the tip, I will do that after washing!

The problem I'm having is after even a light rain or melting frost.  Seems I have to remember to raise the hood every time this happens.   Seems like a bad design.  Can't help but think that water will eventually corrode the inside of the hood.  I was going to put silicone around the plastic parts on the hood but figured it would end up discoloring and would be impossible to remove.  Ugh.

Thank goodness I found this thread. I thought it was only me. Can't seem to get my truck spotless after a wash due to leaking - even after using an air gun to clean out liquid.

 

I take a leaf blower to the front end of the truck and that works good,  actually do the whole truck.  Again probably the worst vehicle I have ever had in regards to holding water

Leaf blower ... why hadn't I thought of that? Might have to give that a shot.

Your suggestion solved the problem completely, thanks!

Make sure you put your wipers down before raising the hood 🤦‍♂️

      I love my truck but

      By taze · Posted

      Those  headrest speakers look fun! Standard panoramic roof on the AT4X might be a deal breaker for me unless I can delete it. Maybe I should just supercharge my truck and call it a day. We'll see what I think of all the new trucks when I see them in person.

      "Increase"?   You want to "increase" your turning radius?     What is your truck?  What kind of cab and bed do you have currently?  Is it stock?  Modified?  Lifted?

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By newdude · Posted

      OP's quote is parts and labor.  Not just parts.     The # you found isn't the right one.  But besides that, the right # is the same price within a couple bucks.  $5802.01.    Now, factor in labor and fluids.  Book time is 17.1 hours for a Colorado 8 speed.  At $200/hr for a dealer average rate, its $3420 just in labor.  We are already at $9222.  Fluid and other necessary items, there's your $400-500 more.      Also.  Your "discounted" transmission.  Which is 99% likely quoted off of GM Parts Direct as that's the MSRP I found on their site.    You failed to note the $597 in shipping charges.  So we are right back almost to MSRP.  $5794.  Oh.  AND, you better have the $4000 for the core charge which you'd have to pay and get refunded, AND you gotta pay to SHIP THE CORE BACK.    So now you'd have paid MORE to buy that one online yourself, even after you get your core refunded.

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.
