Has anyone encountered air and water leaks into the box area on the new style Silverado's ? I have plenty of air rushing into the box and lifts my soft tonneau cover up while driving at highway speeds about 2" to 3" over the rail. and every time theres wet roads I get lots of road spray in the box. Great for my tools !!!

Replying to: dtietz (Oct 24, 2008 11:56 am) I installed EGR bed rail caps to cover my stake holes. There are open areas in the left and right top front area of my bed, sealed using DapTex latex-based Insulating Foam Sealant that remains soft and flexible. I have a TrailFX bed mat on the floor. These minimize water blow-by in most of my vulnerable areas. I also added a TruxSeal tailgate seal in the back (mostly to minimize dust draw in the back). Both sides and bottom-front of my bed are not air tight. There are drain holes thru my front floor and body gaps behind both side walls. With my solid bed cover, air pressure is not a problem, although I can understand it's effect on your soft cover. This is one reason I selected a light weight hard cover that can easily be removed. Remember our truck beds are not designed to be air-water tight. Where are you noticing the most "water spray" in your soft-covered truck bed, front, back, sides?

Replying to: oscgolf (Feb 10, 2008 5:30 pm) The problem with my tailgate (2000 Siverado 4.8L 3rd Door ) is is there is a little plastic piece that keeps breaking. The dealership want $150 to fix the problem. I am just try to find a detailed diagram of the tailgate so I could fix this myself. Larry |

I own a 2001 Crew Cab Silverado C1500 HD. The truck makes a rolling popping noise when moving from a dead stop. It only occurs only during the first few revolutions of the drive train. This occurs more after the truck has been driven for 10 minutes or so. The sound can be heard and felt in the vehicle. I have had it in for service several times and they cannot find anything. Does anyone know what causes this noise and is it destructive???

I have an 06' Silverado with a stuck tailgate,I tried WD-40 but no luck. The handle clicks to unlatch it and the left side unlocks, but the right side latch doesn't seem to be moving. I tried pulling, pushing and damn near kicking it open! Please send me some advice s I don't need the dealer. Thanks
