for the guys that have the chevy/gmc mats - are you happy with the back seat floor mat (for the crew cabs)?

 

i'm not sure about the center seam and if i like that.

 

i'm likely getting the front mats sometime next week, but as i mentioned, not sure i like the seam in the back

I was a little skeptical at first, but they actually seal up nicely and fit really well.

The color matches perfectly, the fit is great, they don't move around, and they look nice with the logo. I would say a must have item for your new truck. It is worth every penny to protect your investment and keep it looking good.

 

I have had mine for a few months now and just as happy with them as day I installed them. I don't even notice the back seam anymore.

GM didn't make those, one of the other manufactures did.. Husky or that other company..

After looking at the WeatherTech mats and a few other aftermarket mats a month or so ago, I decided on the Husky X-Act Contour and I am very pleased with these mats.

They are real rubber and feel much like the original factory GM mats but probably softer, they feel great under your feet with zero movement, coverage is excellent, that's my quick 2 month field test so far in a unusually bad weather period.

I found the WeatherTechs to be not much more than a hard plastic tray that slides around too much and like others have mentioned, not having the area underneath the accelerator covered is just plain stupid and the WeatherTechs tend to curl on the edges over a period of time. I feel WeatherTech purposely left the area underneath the accelerator pedal missing because of the potential and pending mat stiffness and edge curl that will eventually develop over time which in turn could and probably will cause the mat/tray to slide and wedge underneath the accelerator pedal potentially causing a accident.

Husky also makes the hard tray slider mats that are very much like the WeatherTechs but the Husky X-Act is different. I don't want anything to do with WeatherTech anymore, they don't back their product very well for the most part, just read up on the subject a little. It's all marketing anyway, you don't have to be the best, just get people to believe your the best and that's exactly what WeatherTech has done.

On the Husky X-Act mats, there's a big ugly logo on the front mats, it's peels right off - thankfully. I also have the Husky rear mats with a Husky truck storage box.

If I've accidently missed where someone else posted a similar message reflecting a similar experience concerning these mats - please forgive.

I am curious what Weathertech mat you are referring to. I may have missed a previous post you made though. Not sure. I have the weathertechs in my 2015 CC. I don't love them thats for sure. The driver side does move around a bit. the velcro lug thingy that attaches to the floor doesn't hold and pulled the double stick tape that holds the velcro to the mat out of the hole. I could probably fix that with automotive double stick tape I guess. All in all the slide though is about an 3/4 of an inch give or take front to back. I don't particularly like that the sides don't sit against the side of the foot well (left to right) either. What I was curious about though, was you say it doesn't cover the accelerator peddle. My weathertechs do. It is full coverage on mine. I also have the full rear floor liner from weathertech. No issues with that one at all..

I've had my Chevy mats in for 2 months now, and they are FREAKING AMAZING!

First, the floors with no coverage, for reference.

As you can see, the factory driver's mat has poor coverage under the gas pedal.

Agreeing with the concerns many had, I modified my driver liner a bit. I cut out the sill plate panels, and used those remnants to make an underpedal extension. I superglued it on, and it's like it was supposed to be there. The funny thing is, at all ranges of pedal travel, the mat does not obstruct the path of the pedal. Hmmm...

At any rate, these are AWESOME floor coverings. Can't think aftermarket manufacturers have a better product.

If you need any accessories, would love to help. We have couple of toys for you at www.eTruckGear.com and offer honest service ( with 100 % positive Amazon feedback we try hard to be there for the customer)

Stop by and take a look. Tonno Pro is a nice brand to look at. Not that well known but super quality and low price. We are also Weathertech approved, meaning warranty applies as opposed to purchases on Amazon. Don't like Weathertech? We have Husky or Maxliner. Amp Research, Thule, Warn, Rhino Rack. Will be glad to help.

DANG! That was a lot of pics. I will say though I appreciate them. It answered a couple questions I had. I am thinking of getting them for mine still and dumping my weathertechs still. You also did the extension under the driver pedal I was thinking of cutting up one of the weathertechs to do. I like your using of the door sill piece to do it though much better. Great pics.

 

I swear there was a post before about not having to cut out the piece under the seat to fix the storage box. I can't seem to find it now though. I maybe just missed it.

I'm debating between the Husky x-act liner or the GMC ones. Any of you guys go one way or another for a particular reason?

Glad to help! One thing I like when considering something is is pictures, pictures, and more pictures!

 

Don't have to cut the under seat piece for the storage? That would be nice!

I thought the underseat storage units out there will work with these GM factory mats without any modification?

I have a set of the GM Cocoa liners coming for my Crew Cab this week. I'll be interested to see if my DU-HA under seat organizer will work out of the box with the rear liners.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.
