Really considering getting a spray in Bedliner, so I'm wondering, for those of you that have it - do you love it? is it worth the money? Is it way better than the drop in Bedliner from gm?

I never will get a drop in liner again . I have a Speedliner in my 2014. . The spray in's are durable and the part I like is I don't have to worry about things sliding all around . I believe it is a factory option now ??

Did they spray over all your tie down plugs?

I don't think it's factory but the dealer contracts with someone to do it if you check that box.

Those plugs are easily dug out if you want to add tie downs. Not sure how the factory does it. Mine came from the factory with a drop in, but they never secured it. It uses self tapping screws, I don't play those drilling holes and letting metal shaving hide and seek game. I also suggest undercoating. I live in the salt belt, I see lots of trucks around 5 years old with rust bubbles above the rear wheel.

I just wonder if it protects more than the drop in. As far as the undercoating, what pieces did they Coat? Just the frame? And how much did it cost?

Yea they did, just got the 9 pack of the tie downs and added them, took a utility knife and cut the covers out. Easy peasy

My Sierra came with a factory spay in liner. This is my first truck with spay in my,9 year old silverado never had one. One thing I miss on my old one is any grease,oil..etc was super easy to wipe up. Now that I really think about it, I think I like it better with out one. Just my .2

Cents.

I have a drop in in the 01, a rubber mat in the 07, and "factory" sprayed in the '17. They all are great, and they all suck. Probably the best thing going now is bed rug! (Grass always greener on the other side factor)

Thanks for the replies guys! I am going to get one scheduled. I'm a little interested in the undercoat, but not sure if it's necessary since I live in Oklahoma

I wouldn't undercoat unless they salt the roads in the winter where you live. I had it done after having to move from Florida to one exit south of Canada. Never even heard of it being a thing in the south. I also have a rubber bed mat, it cost $60 and is completely reversible and does basically everything a bedliner can do.

It looks to be the same price, what's so good about it?

Don't have to grind your paint up to install it, you can crawl around your bed on a nice soft surface without hurting your knees, it flattens the bed of your truck, won't scratch up furniture when you slide it on the rug, doesn't puncture like linex, doesn't chip like linex, drop something heavy on it won't dent your bed like linex, cleans up like new with a hose or vacuum.

 

The bad is it takes a day or two to dry out if it gets wet and it can hold fibers pretty well(think hay).

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the help!   I'm going to stop into the scales one of these days and weigh my axels, for the time being, I am going to run Toyo's recommendations and also do a chalk test. I have a tire shop that's going to try their scanner to reprogram and set the the factory psi values lower, and if they can't I'm going to order a scanner and do it myself!

      Exhaust Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.
