Last night while driving home, the rear window of my Dad's 2007 6.7 litre 1 ton blew out. Nothing hit the window and it blew out from the inside out. Sounded like a rifle shot when it happened. The one ton has an aluminum deck with headache rack. Started with a 24 x 6" (w x h) section in the middle and then got progressively worse. As there was nothing Dad could do in the middle of nowhere, he continued to drive home. He will be contacting the dealer today. Has this had happened to anyone else and what was your experience? And what caused this to happen? Thanks in advance.

 

is dad a big fella? maybe he was on his way home from the mexican restaraunt and let one rip and blew the window out maybe he is just imbarassed to tell you what really happened?? just be glad you werent in that truck when it happened buddy. it probably would have knocked all your teeth out or blacked both your eyes....

 

That's funny right there.

 

Time to get the nail gun out....

 

My blew out too, but i jacknifed my trailer. haha. Back windows cost around500 bucks and labor will runya 100-250 bucks. I was lucky and got a used one for 300 bucks installed. Thats when i ordered my headache rack.

 

was he using the rear window defrost. i had mine blowout on a honda once. was caused by the defroster. it exploded by the connections, sounded like somebody shot it.

 

I didn't think our trucks had a rear window defrost...?

 

some do. mine does
