Yeah they were factory lights. The gaskets under each of the lights were dry-rotted and that was where the water was leaking. (also remember that Tropical Storm Lee is why we had ~12 inches of rain in 3 days which is not typical)

Sorry to bring back an old thread but I'm at a loss also.
So this has happened twice to me- truck sits in parking lot at work and we get a decent rain. Go out to truck to go home and battery completely dead. I mean no lights dead.
After I get it jumped from a buddy, let it run for a few and take off. I hear a buzzing sound which I found to be a relay (s) and the lights flicker on and off.
Well a new twist, this just happened yesterday to me. Get in this am and the truck is shifting really hard, both up shift and downshift.
The windshield has been repaired by a novice so that's getting replaced thursday, just hope there isn't much rust in there where it needs to go to a bodyshop.
I do have clearance lights, anyone know where to find gaskets for these? I will also be siliconing all door seals.
I do not see or feel in water in the cab. My wife did see some water coming from pass door seal the other day.
Anyone have ideas?
