With truck stationary, I have inspected and observed the following. Dash has cracked through multiple locations to include areas for stored airbags. Rattling sound is coming from insecure dash. Radio and speakers function intermittently and other times with static. Replaced speakers in doors and that did not resolve the problem. Drivers seat belt did not connect to receiver end. Replaced part ordered from gm parts website. A constant water leak comes from underneath dash along firewall into drivers side floorboards. Water soaked carpet and insulation has wicked to rear floor areas. No one has found the water source, but it has rusted driver side door panel screws and ruined carpet. Water appears to be worse when using hvacc or defroster. Replaced fuel vent valve solenoid underneath truck, near refuel cap/door, three times due to check eng light.
