My truck came with the GM rubber mats. The day after I bought my truck a winter storm blew through my area and dropped ~10" of snow. It became pretty clear that the factory rubber mats didn't cover enough of the carpet to keep the salt and slush contained. I was also concerned about the wear that might occur in the carpet around the dead pedal. I ordered the Weathertech mats and was impressed with the amount of coverage they provide, including covering the dead pedal and overlapping the adjacent plastic trim panels so water doesn't seep under them.

 

The only downside is somewhat of a catch-22. While I like the protection that the large rubber mats provide, I don't prefer the appearance of a (mostly) rubber floor. These will definitely be used in the winter or when I know I'll be tracking mud or moisture into the cab. :thumbs:

 

I'm not sure what the rules might be for this forum with regard to mentioning where I bought them or what I paid. However, I found them cheaper than even the discounted advertised price of the manufacturer (I think it was 10% off).

 

After taxes are paid, the next thing will be something to protect my bed and its contents. I'm leaning toward a Fold-A-Cover G4 Elite but I haven't decided between Line-x, Bedrug/Bedtred or maybe just a mat from Weathertech.

An option for those that want the floor tray style mats, but like the carpet look is the Extreme Catch all mats...similiar to the Weathertech but carpet. I had them in my Trailblazer. Like you, I have the Weathertechs in both my vehicles now, I like being able to rinse them off and not having to worry about spilling liquid on them.

 

I got both the front and rear set from truckaddons for $190 shipped.

I ordered the floor liners from WeatherTech on Monday. They still haven't shipped. Maybe there is a backorder? Still says they are processing the order.

I got my black liners in only a few days but I didn't get them directly from Weathertech.

I bought Weathertec for just the back area only. The only one who rides back there is the dog, so I put the seats up and then covered them with a twin size black sheet ($4.99 @ Walmart), and voila - Yellow Lab Proof!

I ordered weathertechs about a month ago and they said you have to allowed a few days for them to make the mats then they ship them..

I have the fold-a-cover g4 elite and bedtred combo. Love it so far. only complaint is that the cover doesn't sit perfectly flat, but I think that's because I need to give it time (and warmer weather) to break in properly.

I have the G4 elite and the bed rug. I love the fold a cover !!!! The bed rug is great I keep and old vacuum cleaner and when ever it gets dirty I just vacuum it. Seems pretty tough a lot tougher than I would have thought.

I was researching the Bedtred a little today. Do you have any insight on whether moisture is trapped once it gets under the rug? With it not actually being fabric, I'm concerned the moisture won't be able to evaporate through the rug.

I suppose it's possible. Water could penetrate under the BedTred near the bulkhead, the seams, and the tailgate. I was thinking what little bit of water that did get under there wouldn't do any damage, and any huge amount would just be vacated through the same seams and drainage holes. I am not personally worried about it because I have the Fold-A-Cover installed so, while not water proof, too little water will get in there to worry about.

 

Even if water does get trapped under there, I don't care. Worst case scenario? BedTred gets totally mildewed and I have to rip it out, clean up the bed and put a new liner of some sort in. paint should protect it from rusting etc.

My G4 was the same after it was installed by the dealer. I called the company and he told me to adjust the latches at the front and rear I did that and after it warmed up and the rubber seals broke in it was fine. If the middle is not laying flat it could be not closing properly. The last panel toward the tailgate has to lay flat on the third panel until that is all the way down then you close the last panel to engage the center lock. Hope this makes sense.

Got the weathertech mats front and back and really like how they look and how they clean up... Highly recommended.. especially for black carpet interior like on my Sierra AT.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
