new truck issues update
Hey Yall, as previously posted, have had couple issues on 350 S/D C/C delivered on 12-28. First issue was no interior lights, traced to pinched wire in harness, problem repaired by dealer. Second issue, intermittent starter grind issue, dealer unable to replicate, hasn"nt happened recently, hope it doesn"t happen again. Today stopped by carwash to rinse off truck, as I left noticed water dripping out of upfitter switches, GRRREAT. Dealer notified, will post what happens next. I have clearance lights, assume thats where leak is occurring. Anyone else had this problem? Thanks.

Sorry to hear, hopefully it works out to your advantage. I have both the moonroof and clearance lights and have not had an issue from either. Ive been to the car wash and have had some very serious rain, still not a drop inside.

I've had the starter miss three different times since October. I've logged each time and will continue until I get to end of warranty. Not much else you can do until something breaks.

I have had one starter miss in 7000 miles so far. Keeping an eye on it as well.

There is a thread around here where the owner said that it looked like the clearance lights weren't sealed to the roof. Or something like that. Makes me glad I didn't get that option. Sorry to hear yours is leaking.

New truck issues
For anyone interested, had truck back to dealer today, they brought in an outside company called "seek and seal". Apparently they specialize in air and water leaks, they determined water was leaking around clearance lights on roof, and resealed them. Am hoping they got it taken care of, will post again if any other issues arise.

My clearance lights had moisture in two of them when I picked up the truck a few weeks ago, they ordered new ones right away and I'm bringing it in sometime this week, they are replacing all of them and not just the two that had moisture in them. I did look at them and they don't seem to be sealed all that well where the join at the roof, there is a gap between the light and roof. Haven't had any water leak in but if left any longer I would assume they would at some point. Hopefully the the dealer seals them better than how it came from the factory!
