You could always look on Craigslist and see if anyone is selling the OEM rubber floor. I was looking for tow mirrors and stumbled upon a guy selling his rubber/vinyl floor for $100. There have been a few popping up here and there if you don't mind the work of throwing them in.

Got my front set on Amazon Prime 76$ the hump was 46$ and full coverage rears are 109$. These cover every inch of carpet. The full coverage rears even work under the storage box if you have one. All I see is Husky rubber everywhere....

I went with x-act contour for both the front and back (full back) and they look and fit great. I'll try to post a picture tonight when I get home.

Husky contours. Nice soft oliable rubber and a nice design to contain liquids and spills. I've had the Husky's and WTs in my truck. The WTs slide around and deform in temperature changes. The GM line

I miss the days of rubber in place of carpet in cheap or old style '50's trucks. Here we spend big bucks for a nicely optioned rig - then spend more to cover up the carpet forever..........

Funny you say that, I was just thinking about that when I was taking pictures of my Husky liners... maybe that's why I haven't purchased the center hump cover. So I can be reminded that I actually do have carpet under there. haha

 

 

Here are a couple pictures of my husky liners up front and in back.

Not a fan of the weathertech either for the same reason.

I have the gm liners and love the passenger and rear liner. But...I don't like the cut out on the driver's side for the gas pedal.

 

Thats the biggest issue with the GM ones, how stupid to have the cut out under the gas pedal, I can't sell them because of that!

I have Husky X-act fit and love them!

I asked the same question about floor liners a couple months ago. From what I researched, the one-piece front/rear weathertechs are far superior to the individual bucket liners that everyone bitches about curling. Thankfully, I have an LT, so no full/connected center console. But even if I did, I would pull the thing out to put the one-piece in. Anything less is a waste of money IMO.

So I didn't order the hump cover. I'll probably order it along with the 'gear box' before the snow starts to fly.

Have the huskys in my crew cab. Both fronts and rear. Didnt get the full floor covering for the back, but the husky box covers up most of the floor. Wife likes them so much, we ordered the full set for her GMC Terrain

I just made a post about it, but anyone looking to buy husky liners, they're 10% off plus autoanything has a 20% coupon for orders over $99. Nice savings, code is FUN. Got 1st and 2nd row (total coverage) crew cab shipped for $172.74.

Another Weather Tech owner here..........and I will never buy again. Quality has gone down considerably. I've got some old husky liners in my 96 K1500 and they have held up better in 10 years than my new weather techs have in 1 year. I will be buying husky liners next.

I have a set of weather techs now in my CC. I am waiting on a set of GM ones to come in the mail that I bought from a member on here. Once I get them, weather techs will be replaced. They curled on both the driver and passenger side. I have tried all I can think of to get them to straighten out but no dice.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I imagine the cold winters up here with repeated short runs in town every day for those that live and work in town and given what I have come to learn on this forum with DI engines having fuel dilution issues, and if they don't change the oil until it says to but keep driving it for a while, I bet all that is just lovely on those finicky lifters.

      AWD conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      I just did some reading and Stabilitrak is more than a what I had originally thought. It is more of a vehicle control system to help the driver in precarious situations. I thought it was only the AWD system. Now I know. So I changed the title for this thread to AWD conversion to Z71

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.
