The sunroof issues isn’t the seal, if it’s leaking from the top of the a pillars where he has it caulked up it’s just a clogged drain🤦🏻♂️ keep chomper
@James.7122 жыл бұрын
I'd be willing to bet this shares the same sun roof components as our 2007 Acadia. Known for bad seals and leaking - we unclogged the drain tubes in the A-pillars and water was still getting around the sunroof seal. So...... We went cheap fix. Used gasket-maker to seal the ever living sh** out of it - the very last thing I did was pull the fuse so my wife couldn't ever open it again. Been dry as a bone since! Now it's just a skylight... The wind noise is from the jacked silicone around the sunroof btw.

I would’ve passed on it too. Biggest thing I think about when buying another truck and selling the one I’ve got is I already know all the little imperfections and quirks of mine, so why buy one that I’m going to have to figure out and go through that whole new to me phase again.

Chomper is in much better condition with lower miles. The other truck looks ragged out with a lot of little things here and there that are broken. The moment you went back to driving in your truck it sounded so much quieter. And as far as sunroofs go - I can't remember that last time I've opened mine. I even forget I have one.

Passing up on that truck and keeping Chomper was the right move. I am on my 5th different GMT-800 platform vehicle in 22 years. They are the best of GM. Up here in Ohio we get too much rust from salt, so I picked my current 2003 Suburban up from down south. 205,000 miles, and it still runs better than almost anything else I have ever had.

I'm one of the people who voted for your to keep chomper, and after seeing this truck I'm glad you decided to go that direction. Too many little issues that seem weird to me. The driver door not closing, the rear door not working, the tailgate not lining up, the caulk on the roof... Just lots of oddball things. You made the right choice.

Keep up the good work. Hopefully you'll get your ordered truck soon, that'll calm some of your cheating on Chomper down a bit. Lol 😆

Yes, you made a wise choice. That truck is at the end of it's life.

Good pass on that truck. I suspect it was in an accident at some point, and that is why the doors don't shut properly.

My 2005 cat eye, that I've daily driven for the last 15 years, hasn't fared as well.

@@toddprater14 Can't beat the car cancer in this state; rust never sleeps. This truck doesn't owe me a dime though. Bought it in 2007, and haven't had a car payment in 11 years. It's only ever been into a shop once, and that was for the faulty GM Castech heads. GM replaced the heads under warranty/recall. Other than that, it's been routine maintenance on wear parts that I handle on my own (thanks KZbin!). Just a few hundred miles away from turning over 220,000 on the odometer; all Michigan miles. Every month that I keep it, is another $500ish saved in my pocket with today's super inflated used truck prices.

Sun roof and t tops are nice...but years down the road it's going to start leaking...the best way to keep from doing it...always keep the rubber seal clean with durgagloss or any product you like..I keep mine clean every 2 weeks...also keep it inside a shop or up under the car port...when it rains or any bad weather...I keep mine inside...only drive it on nice days...plus your head lights and tail lights will stay brand new...if you keep it inside the shop...also the inside your vichles will be brand new...keep it outside in the sun...dash start cracking and faded..inside the shop it's dark on mine...that also keep your paint looking brand new like the day it left the dealership...
