FLIP THE MAT OVER There are instructions on how to trim it molded into it. you can either take out storage and install that way pain in the ass or trim mat as manufacturer states for vehicles with storage

Check your state law. It's as simple as that. Here in new york (I am a salesman for top 5 in tri state area dealership - I personally am top ten salesperson three years running - in tri state area) if I am asked, IF I AM ASKED, I will say that in NY State we have NO early pay penalty. But if you are going to do all that for a steak dinner why don't we just throw in the wheel well liners? Of course you want the best deal. And of course the dealership wants to make money. But hear this out. I am a salesman, I just want to sell a car. I don't care if you refinance after or beat up the place or throw a tantrum. I don't make a real piece of the financing part or not enough for me to care. I'm selling over 300 cars a year personally (dealership almost 4k), the $40 from the one guy bitching about $120 - as long as you drive it out of the lot do whatever the F**K you want brother!!!!! The finance guy sees a written deal where I work. He never sees a customer until they have already agreed to a complete lease term or selling price of vehicle and rough finance payments. They are not your friend, unless it's your sister or brother - and you are close - the finance guy is not your friend. Their only job is to tell you you qualified for a 3.99 rate when they really got you 3.19 and they are pocketing the difference. Now if my credit union is 3.09 and he tells me dude make 6 payments for me and we will throw in floormats and wheel liners etc - maybe I say cool. And FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THAT - refi after 6 payments. If I am slime I refinance immediately and stick them and laugh over my $92 win Finance wants you to buy wheel protection packages and key replacement warranty.... Please. The sales guy just wants you to pick a darn truck out and hammer it as low as it takes for you to say yes. How well we play our managers is how good of a deal you get . Of course - rebates, incentives, taking a car in stock - all play a part. After that they get the snake to start lying...... It is about ethics and morals. Yes _ I am a car salesman. The sales guy does not care as long as you are buying something. Just please - for our sake and my kids sake - buy something if you are gonna make a big show of things. Find a sales guy you want to buy from and lay it out. FIND A VOLUME DEALERSHIP....... Don't waste your time even visiting another....

looking at the NFAB ones for my 2020 custom TB- had them on a 16 loved them - 17 ltz has the flat black ones -

Andy, I work for GM on the sales side. This is par for the course. I also have a 17 ltz midnight crew cab and a 20 custom trail boss The trail boss I picked up yesterday, so far so good. The LTZ, inside of 35k miles has needed, tires, a battery, multiple adjustments to the leaf spring "area" because of a clunking and lots of gas (6.2). I also cut a turn too tight and hit someones f350 on the wheel well - ouch.... anyway I drive on the beach alot to go fishing here on Long Island, and I air down normally to 20 or 18 unless its really sugar sand hot summer situation. Last summer dead of night im rolling along and the truck starts spitting codes like you said above. I lose 4wd - luckily the locking rear diff and the aired down tires allow me to cruise for a bit to find a firm spot to stop - Almost every light was on but I was rolling - found a flat spot to stop on. I adjusted the gauge cluster to show me the 4wd screen and it showed I was in 4wd - so I tapped the gas a little and I was back in 4. Got off the beach - it wouldnt come out of 4wd. SO I turned down the closest block after beach exit and fiddled with the rotating dial - service 4wd - . I shut the truck off and started and all seemed normal. Guys at my shop couldnt see anything. Battery died on me at 30k miles for no apparent reason. Stuck me with my infant at home depot.

Exactly. Does it on my 16 anytime it is raining our or snow etc. It is getting splashed on something that steams it away. Not a worry for me.

auto does not disengage the front clutches. JC

neither of those have DI engines

High capacity air cleaner as well

ALL 4wd vehicles are sensitive to dry pavement. If this is new to you, you were damaging your old vehicles just as you are your new one. READ YOUR MANUAL!

I too love the look of the iboards but I went with the nfab textured steps - they are awesome. For years I was a big fan of the single hoop step and just didnt like the drop length of those on my 16 silverado 1500 - on my f350's they were perfect but not enough lift on the 1500 silvy.... JC

direct injection (in all the 2014+ engines) also has a slight ticking noise at idle. You can hear it when you are next to a wall. It is very feint. JC

retailmenot.com has coupon codes for sirius/xm I just got the $25 deal last month for the second year in a row

I believe the fuse for that is on the left side of the dash - you need to open the driver door and there are 6 clips holding the side of the dash on - I believe it is in the same spot as the suburban/tahoe careful not to break those clips

dropkick that is a cool install! I have to admit the bluetooth controller embedded in the steering wheel is 10/10 idea/execution. Good on ya man! JC

I have noticed locally that the price between reg and premium can differ anywhere from .99 to .35 locally here in ny. When it is below .50 - I buy , over .50 - I go with what my engine was tuned for from teh factory - 87 I do notice that using 91 or 93 octane my vehicle goes into v4 mode more often in all driving conditions. Power, I really don't see a noticeable gain. Mileage, the money does not work out. I lease the trucks (Gm employee) so I really could care less either way. Less cost for gas just means lower cost of ownership. If that is $500 a year over 2 years, I will keep my $1k
