Any issues with the 24 Sierra 1500s (5.3)?

[AirMech74]

I just bought my first GM truck....a 24 1500 SLT with the 5.3. Are there any issues I need to be prepared for with this year's model?  I've read about some of the issues with the previous year's models...hoping they got worked out by now.

Unfortunately there is no real way to answer that. I've had a 14,16,20 and now a 24. The 14,16, and 20 all had recalls that effects just about every owner. The 20 had the leaking rear window that was replaced. The 24 has an issue where the infotainment screen is acting up on really hot days. That is all I can attribute it to anyway. Other than those issues all of my trucks have been great.
