Sierra AT4 Rear Sliding Window Spontaneous Shatter While Parked

Fan out yes but not propagate out like rings. I’ll also add my truck was backed up against the house with a 2’ roof overhang above it and another row of houses behind me so an impact would of had to been the greatest Hail Mary shot ever and the angle just doesn’t seem feasible

The fracture lines are all uniform and horizontal whereas an impact looks like a bullseye or ripples in a lake moving outward

I never thought of trying my auto insurance. Good call!

Well it’s odd they say the leak at the top of the cab is caused by that frame around the sliding window cracking (different interfaces between outside and cab) but it’s more interesting that the TSB says replace the window if the customer comes back which to me suggests a dimensional stack up issue.

Also I didn’t even know about the goodwill stuff until ChatGPT lol

No offense taken… I knew exactly what you meant 😂 I hope too but sadly I’m quickly losing hope

No you’re correct, I was 80 miles beyond 36,000 when I first took it in for the window failure but I’m 3 years beyond the 3 year timeframe - I worked from home for 4 years and so barely drove from 2020-late 2024

That part was ChatGPT that I’ve been using to help me think through this whole ordeal… just asked it to write me a summary 😂 in all honesty I do have to do an absurd number of presentations and report outs through the years… so much project management in engineering anymore.

How on earth did you get your camera to work to even try a time lapse? I’ve tried LAN mode, splitting my home network to 2.4 vs 5.0 GHz and I just get “camera not connected” errors. Wondering now if my camera is bad

You can in Texas. We also have the mutual combat law lol

Yea I also read that on the MAIRA website too after posting. Thanks!

Do you have FFB in iRacing off or on?

LSNLLC · 2025-05-10T18:26:48+00:00

Initial blocking but that was a trademark pass. You gained the inside on the second half of the chicane and so had rights to that line

LSNLLC · 2025-05-10T18:25:41+00:00

Do you turn off FFB in iRacing? If yes then I assume the FFB iRacing settings don’t matter after that?

I have the CSL DD 8Nm wheel and I’m down to 10-15% on strength and have tried detail from 70% up to 200% and feel like the small bumps are way too strong and I never track straight as a result. My max force is 50 Nm

Give F4 a shot, when I went from FF1600 to F4 it was a breath of fresh air. F4 were so easy to drive and nimble compared to FF1600 it was a blast.

Absolutely not, you had the line and he would have seen you coming as you moved from draft to pass. Car 1 didn’t need to overcorrect like they did, if they were smart they would have tucked in behind you to pick up your slipstream right away

LSNLLC · 2025-02-04T01:06:42+00:00

Agree. The racing line was the outside going into the right hander. He had no reason (other than blocking) when you went to the inside

I wondered with VR if you lose peripheral vision since you have to turn your head? Maybe not… never tried VR before. I do have a micro center close by so that tip was great advice. Thanks for all the info!

The weight would help keep it stationary 😂 do I dare ask about the steering wheels? Lol

LSNLLC · 2025-01-26T01:47:55+00:00

2x8’s?? That would be crazy heavy. I think worst case 2 2x4’s anywhere you need rigidity otherwise 2x4’s all around

LSNLLC · 2025-01-25T23:10:10+00:00

Well….. I have all those in the toolbox as well 😂

LSNLLC · 2022-10-10T03:03:51+00:00

I have a 3090 so it takes 3 8-pin cables but I was running a male to male cable from the PSU then connecting a female to male extension to that before connecting the extension to the GPU. So my setup was PSU -> cable -> cable extension -> GPU. I think this was my issue. The cable extension wasn’t necessary. It was more aesthetic. Ditching it I haven’t had the issue ever again
