Unhappy Leak

What year is your truck?
Some trucks built 99-03 have been known to have windshield leaks. I haven't heard of any after early 03 but, maybe they will show up in time. Water usually ends up leaking down into the dash area. I've seen a couple of trucks with GEM module troubles caused by this. If you have or start to have strange electrical problems it's a sure bet the GEM got wet.

Thumbs up Leak

I'd bet money on it being a windshield leak.
