So I have my nice new shiny truck with nice clean black carpet and I love it. However the stock floor mats aren't doing jack when it comes to keeping my carpet clean(I bought a truck for a reason, I get dirty at work and play). I had Huskys in my old truck('97 silverado) and loved them, but I thought I'd get some opinions before I make a purchase. I want front and back mats and the only mats I've ever had experience with are the Huskys and Weathertechs. I'm not a huge fan of the Weathertechs but they aren't bad. Any experience anyone would like to throw in the knowledge bank?

 

On a side note, anyone have the Husky center hump mat? How well does it fit?

I went with the Weathertechs. I wasn't impressed with the Husky's in my 07 Ford, however I loved them in my older trucks. I think they make them thinner or something now because they kind of curled up around the wear areas and looked like crap after a little use. So far I am very happy with the weathertechs. The rear mat covers the entire ext. cab carpet so its still protected when you have the seats up.

Weathertechs

 

I had husky liners in my old truck and currently in my 08 Tahoe. The weathertechs in my 2010 are much better, they do not move around (fit is better)

Pender1,

 

I concede that I'm not entirely certain what the stock OEM floor mats are on a 2011 Silverado but one of my customers had OEM all weather mats (shown here). They seemed to stay in place quite well when I was working inside of the cabin area and the fit and finish appeared solid.

 

On second thought, aren't the stockers vinyl mats? :rolleyes:

I have had good luck with Nifty Catch All's, they are form fit and well made.

I've heard a few people say the Huskys seem to be less beefy. Thats a shame, I really liked my old ones.

The stock mats are actually not bad at all. My problem is their lack of coverage, there's a cut out under the gas peddle so that all the dirt that gets knocked off the bottom of my shoe while I'm driving goes straight to the carpet. And the back mats are basically non-existent.

Second the vote for Nifty Catch All's. Very good fit and they are carpeted.

 

I'm not a huge fan of carpeted mats, they tend to stain too easy. I work with asphalt and there's a lot of red clay around here, so I'm not very gentle on carpet.

I have actually had Husky liners and Weathertechs in my current truck. The Weathertechs have more coverage area and drain out the door better, while I felt the Husky Liners did not move around quite as much. Others will tell you the 'techs move less.

 

When it comes down to it the Weathertechs look better, cover more, and clean up easier than my Husky liners did. My vote is for the 'techs.

Techs. Got some for my mother's SUV and they look great. I did not have good luck with Husky for my 07, they never seemed to fit right and started to warp.

ok, so the general opinion seems to be go with the weathertechs, so I'll go with that. Now the next question...black to match the carpet or grey to mach the leather?

I was looking into getting the Husky Weather Beaters for my Silverado. They look like they are made better/heavier than the Husky's with the diamond plate type pattern. Anybody have experience wit hthe weather beaters? The weathertech liners are expensive and don't really look different than the Husky's.

According their websites, the Weathertechs are $20 more but have more coverage in the back on a crew cab/ext cab. (comparing prices on front and back set)

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
