@wretched73 Fair enough lol If I put my hand in that little vent spot I can feel the water pooling in there. Nice and nasty.

I don't have the time or space at the moment to tear the interior apart. I ordered a third brake light, figure it is time for replacement after 17 years and I see the stain so might as well. Should be here tomorrow.

There's no rule that says there's only one thing causing problems in vehicles... I'm slowly learning that, LOL.🤕


When you have time, just get the hose and spray the brake light and see if you can see it leaking on the inside. I guess you'd have to move the headliner?

I should at least look at mines too.

I’ve never dropped the headliner, I’m guessing I just pull the pins and the trim on the C-pillar?

I will probably be replacing the gasket by the time I can get around to it

Over the weekend of the rain it has become apparent that the third brake light is definitely leaking. I applied a new gasket but for some reason I could not get it perfectly lined up. It also looks like the housing is cracked possibly. Hopefully I did get it on there good enough to prevent a leak but I doubt it. May need to get a new third brake light housing entirely.

Where the screws come through it can crack and leak.

The lens assembly is still available. 19169016

The electronic part with the bulbs is not

Replaced both cab vents on Saturday. All the flaps were there but the rubber all around was cracked and if you squished it a wee bit it would turn into a disgusting grease/paste.

Oil and filter change along with fuel filter change. ACDelco and some of that sweet Rotella T

Cab vents definitely were part of the problem with the leaks. I cannot tell if the 3rd brake light is still leaking.

Cleaned the EBCM ground today off of a recommendation from DP. Trying to figure out if my batteries are dying again (which would be another set in a year) or not. I keep getting a Service Brake System message on my dash randomly. Today I got it in the morning on the way to work but not on the way home. Unfortunately I only have my dremel so I put a 240 disk on it and cleaned as best I could. I think it looks pretty good but we will see.

I also have a burnt out headlight so I will need to purchase new ones. I am torn between upgrading now or just buying something to replace it with.

9006s 9005s are pretty cheap... at least compared to swapping some new apparatus in.
