Default 08 silverado 1500 4.8 crew cab, any problems?

So far Im very happy with my new truck. Im just here to see if anyone has had issues with theres. Ive had one issue with mine, but the dealer fixed it. my issue was every time i would let off the gas being from 40 down to 0 mph then gas it again i would feel a clunk in the rear end. I guess the slip yoke was dry and needed to be lubed. I had a buddy with same truck do the same thing. I was wondering if its a common thing or just happend to ours.

Very common and GM has apparently come up with a fix if lubing the slip yoke doesn't fix it.

Watch the rear doors.The weather strip used is a poor design and allows a large amout of water to run into the door,likely to get water in the cab.Apply a small continuios amout of water to rear windows and watch how much water runs from drain holes in door.With that much water inside door likely to leak into cab at threshold
