@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.

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.
