GM has a deal that if one has a corporation they have a promotion for up to $400 for accessories ( mine is a GMC truck; don't know if it also applies to Chevy, but I would surmise it does). So one of the accessories is a Bed Rug and the only difference is that it has the GMC logo on the cab portion. It was to come in overnight and be here this week but when I went to inquire about it today I was informed that they are behind in production and will not be shipping until Sept. 20-24 or so. I don't want to wait that long as I don't want to mess up the bed. The cost was to be $420 from GM and $400 was a credit for a net charge of $20 plus tax. Being impatient, I ordered it from Bakflip as their pricing is $371 on sale until Labor Day. I also have an F1 backflip ordered which again is what some of my friends have raved over. Both items are free shipping.

 

As to whether I self install remains to be seen. There are videos at each company website which is supposed to assist. I am not probably as handy as some of you; however the companies promise anyone can do it....we will see; I may prove to be the exception!

Does the go around the lights in the bed?

Just because I'm curious...

 

Does anyone have a Line-X liner and load a snowmobile into the bed of their truck? I'm curious as to how the liner holds up against the studs and the carbides. The one time I loaded a sled directly onto the plastic drop-in that I had in my truck at the time, it chewed it up really badly, especially on the gate. The last time I did this, I used a piece of 1/2" plywood for the sled to sit on and didn't notice any ill effects to the plastic liner.

 

I would be interested in seeing photos of a Line-X liner after transporting a sled a few times.

I hauled my sled in the bed of my truck after getting my line x done. The carbides were a little rough on it where the brunt of the weight ended up while loading it - there were some visible scrapes. That was only after loading/unloading once.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had a similar but different response when I talked to the service manager where I bought my truck in that he said GM corporate won't allow them to lower the placard pressure setting as they would get their hand slapped but that of course they have the ability to make that change. His suggestion was simply go to a tire dealer or third party shop that is willing to reset the pressures lower. However I chose to buy a tpms tool and partly based off of this very forum as it had been proven to work on the 2024 model ( Global B system ) and while I could have paid lots for a full two way diag tool, I didn't want to spend that much and bought the recommended Autel TS 508 and it will reprogram the 2025 model and assume it should do the 2026 as well. However the tool is rather proprietary to reprogramming Autel tpms sensors so that is a function I will never use, where as a real two way scanner would have many uses but also have yearly subscriptions etc where this 508 is free updates for as long as they put updates out for the unit. In any event it worked to lower the placard pressures and I often use it to adjust my actual tire pressures although will check with a mechanical gauge as well sometimes just to make sure that tires tpms sensor isn't lying to me.    My suggestion is either buy a tool that you know will work to adjust the system or start out by getting the tire shop you bought your tires from to reset your truck and if after that you still want a unit to do it yourself, get one at that point.

      Tire psi

      Here is an image of a quick Google search about these tires on my truck and it's exactly same psi recommendation the Toyo tires company gave me!    I'm not looking for anyone else recommended psi or anything, I'm just looking to see if anyone knew a way to get rid of the factory low psi warning light, because I'm not running high psi and ruining my tires when I'm not towing!

      Open the driver's door jamb.  What do the cold tire PSI ratings on the tire placard show?   I'm not saying to run it to those numbers, but I would like to know what it says.
