Since you replaced your all weather mats with your Weathertech mats would you happen to have the OEM mats collecting dust in your garage? I wouldn't mind taking them off your hands lol

This may sound crazy but I'm using the OEM ones on top of my Weather Tech, I do a lot of trail running and it's way easier to grab the mat and spray it off vs fighting to get the WT out of the truck. With this setup I never remove the WT.

I've had WT in another vehicle and even now have the WT in-channel window guards.

 

I have the Husky x-act in this truck and love the way they fit and how secure they are under foot.

 

I've been of the (amateur, not counting my MBA) opinion that WT spends disproportionately on promotion/advertising and not nearly enough on product quality. And product was what got them in the game initially.

Well I made up my mind and the weathertech mats were ordered this morning. I will be sure to give everyone an update on the fit and finish of the product when they arrive.

Hey everyone I recieved the mats on Friday and got them installed yesterday. As far as fit goes they match to the contour of the truck perfectly. As far as finish goes they look great but the front driver mat has a scratch in top left corner but you can't even see it when it's in the truck so I'm ok with that. They aren't as thick as the gmc mats but they provide more coverage so that's a plus. I will post some pictures soon.

Did you get the full mat in 2nd row or the half mat?

 

If you got the half mat in 2nd row can you provide pics of the fit near the factory storage box?

you see the top left corner of your mats how it's a little bit off of the interior frame of the door? yeah that's the beginning of what happened to both of my sets. It ended up getting super warped it really sucks and there isn't much you can do. Perhaps it depends on the climate you live in. I even tried putting them out in the sun and then reforming them a bit to fix but it was too late.

 

 

I'm happy with the rubber type of weathertechs I have for now but they don't have as much coverage, next time I'll go with the Husky's for sure.

In my last 4 vehicles I've had, I've always went with WeatherTech. This time around it might be different, if they're actually cheaper I just might go with the Huskys'. My only concern with the softer rubber, wouldn't cleaning them be more harder? Lint, dirt, etc will stick to em?

      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

      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.

      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.
