my bed rug came in today.....my toneau cover isnt going to arrive for 1-2 more weeks

 

i had a bed i cant use and dont want to scratch up.....my kids back backs are stuffing the interior due to lack of space

 

can you install the bed rug w/o a bed liner? will it fly out? will snow/rain mess it up? is it means for snow/rain?

 

 

anyone install one? any tips?

Yes I had mine in for a couple of weeks before my tonneau. The material is actually plastic and the weather doesn't hurt it at all.

The bedrug is the bed liner. No it will not fly out and it will not get hurt by the weather. Mine was covered in snow and ice when I had my snow blower in the bed during a snow storm. It's all good.

I have the bedrug liner too and did not have the box sprayed first. I also have the toneau cover so when the rug gets wet it does not dry out very fast. Do u think the bedrug will trap moisture and cause rust underneath the bedliner?

I prefer the plastic Penda style liners personally because the ridges keep your stuff out of the water, snow.

 

I did try one sort of "bed rug" that my dad set me up with though, and that thing was not bad:

He cut two of these rubber barn mats to fit the bed, they were pretty much indestructible and non slip.

This is my second truck with a bed rug, well worth the money.

 

Take the bed rug our of the box and lay it out flat, it will help when you go to install it. Since you have several days before your tonneau cover shows up. I let my bed rug sit flat in my basement for a week before I installed it.

 

You will need to cut the bed rug in several spots. You will need to make slits for the 4 tie down hooks in each corner. If you have the under the bed rail lights you will need to cut for them also.

 

I would also dry fit the bed rug to make sure you understand what to do. Its not that hard to install take like 10 minutes.

It will be fine - they are actually made to be used without a tonneau. I've had one for 17 years now in an open bed without any problems.

 

I hate that they chose the name "BedRug" because it makes people think it's just a carpet and won't hold up. These things are actually pretty indestructible and after 17 years mine still has not stained.

hey,does GM make a replacement velcro kit for the bed rug?

Good question I was thinking about this too. Anybody know?

Huggytree, if you haven't already, watch plenty of install videos on Youtube for the Bedrug. Just installed mine last week. You will love it. I cleaned my bed good with spray cleaner and then used denatured alcohol to clean the areas that the velcro attached. It looks really good, will not stain and definitely feels good to the knees. Best of all, to me, no drilling. Have a sharp razor knife for the tie downs. Be patient. It is relatively easy to install. Another good point is you can undo and adjust as you go, if necessary. Good luck. You'll love it.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      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. 😉
