Do the 19 through 22 Limited Sierras have weak windshields?  I have seen several things on line about broken windshields so concerned about the durability of the windshields. Just cracked mine on a 22 Sierra Limited.

Additional info:  I was searching past threads on windshields and saw where prices were $150 to $250. 
Safelite just quoted me a little over $600 for aftermarket glass or an additional $400 for OEM glass. Does that sound right in todays market or am I getting jacked around?

I would call around to check prices, I do know that if you have options like heads-up front camera and collision alert, the windshield costs more.

It has everything 😕 hud, cameras, etc

Live in the middle of nowhere. No auto glass places around close. Safelite does mobile service here but it is a two hour trip for them.

HUD requires a special glass. You have cameras as well. Is the glass not covered by insurance? I have State Farm and have never had to pay for glass repair or replacement in the past.

Have a high deductible so not worth going through insurance company.

Since you have the HUD option, you need to use the OEM GM glass. The aftermarket glass will distort the HUD.

 

Get a price from your GM dealer's body shop.

So do I. Like I said though glass is covered somehow by my policy and I have never had to pay anything for glass repair or replacement.

I had 3M window protection film installed on my windshield right after buying my truck. It’s been over 1 year and no problems so far. Also had it installed on my 2015 SUV and trouble free as well.

Glass coverage would be in the 'comprehensive' portion of the insurance. 

High deductible for collision and/or liability portions may not apply to the comprehensive section. 

 

Check with you agent -- that's the type of question they get paid to answer.

At last, windshield is replaced and calibrated. Took three tries. Selected Safelite, they are about 100 miles from here but service this area. They come here twice a week. First trip there was a defect in the new OEM glass. Had to order another. Week later came back and installed the glass. But could not calibrate the glass, apparently uses a new system that the installer did not have. Next week came back and got all calibration done, at least I hope so. Will have to check out. 
 

Living a distance from population centers has its advantages and disadvantages but I wouldn’t trade it for any other place 🙂 .

 

Now back to the original question, is modern glass more prone to chipping/breakage then earlier glass?

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
