Hi...Just got my gmc sierra it is an 08 crew slt 4x4. I want to put genuine gmc contour mud flaps with the gmc logo. I do not want to screw into my metal. Does anyone know if this is possible? My old gmc had predrilled holes and the newer ones do not seem to have them??

Thanks

I installed the Weather Tech on my 08 Silverado - no drilling but no logo. If you could be happy without the logo I highly recommend the Weather Tech.

Thanks. Did everyone else have to drill? I just did not want to pierce the metal without having protection on it. Rust is the enemy.

I just added them to my truck. No drilling for the front, uses the same holes that hold the wheel liner in. The back does require drilling. I drilled the holes then added a little undercoating on the holes and put the screws in while it was still wet so it would seal good.

When i used to install stereos, we used silicone or rtv in the screw holes. If the air can't get at the metal it won't rust. Undercoating is a hell of an idea as well. If you bought the spray can stuff just spray some in a dixie cup and apply with a craft brush or a toothpick or a stick from the back yard. That way it only goes where you want it.

Get the WT's. The no drill idea is a great one! Very funtional and a little bit better looking than the oem ones imho.

keep in mind that only the weather tech is no drill. Here is a pic of my truck, but it is not very good for seeing the flaps up close.

do u have any pics?

 

I wasn't going to put them on, I'm not really a fan of the looks. But the front tires throw too much stuff on the running boards so I had to. I figured I might as well also do the back while I was at it, I'm hoping they help keep the rock chips off my trailers. I wanted all of them to be plain, but GM doesn't make plain ones for the back and I like to stick with factory options.

The last photo looks like it doesn't fit to well. It's just the angle of the photo, it fits perfect.

I recently bought WeatherTech mud flaps for our 2004 Tahoe LT and they look identical to the ones above.

 

Took maybe an hour to fit all four and the fit was profoundly perfect in every way.

 

Like you, I got tired of cleaning the side and rear panel of the Tahoe.

 

This type of mud flap looks pretty good on the Tahoe.

 

I prefer larger ones on my truck. Here is a photo of the ones I had put on my brand new 2010 Silverado:

I got stock GM mudflaps and am going to have to drill for the rear ones only...the front ones use existing holes. HOWEVER, a word of advice for anybody who can use it...put the front mudflaps on BEFORE installing a nerf stepbar (at least a Westin brand one). I almost had to take both of them off to get the underside bolt in place, and was able to make about 200 1/4" rotations with a wrench :cool:

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
