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 🤦‍♂️

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
