I guess I’m not quite sure. Probably the ease of sliding totes/boxes in the bed. I’ve never had the Spray-in liner before. Maybe I should have asked if it’s easy to slide things around in the bed without having to pick them up to reposition them. By the way I’m new to this forum but am familiar with some others. By the way I was in the Marines Semper Fi. Thanks

The only issue with sliding things around is those objects may get scratched.  I have a bed mat for if I am hauling anything I do not want to get scratched and it is easy enough to roll it out if I am hauling scrap, mulch, anything I hunt, etc.

Just a quick observation on the factory spray in bedliner.  After looking over my truck and installing the bed cover, here is my thoughts.   1. This factory or should I say GM SIBL is exactl

Factory spray bed liner seems pretty tough in my truck. And I’ve thrown all sorts of things in there. Granted it’s a 2017 and not that old?

I was given the option to have it done at the dealership and after looking at the ones on the lot came to the same conclusion you have. Cheap job done with cheap materials without the proper prep work

I have heard that stuff doesn't slide on the spray in liner very well. However, I'm not sure it would slide much better on a drop in liner. One of my friends keeps rubber mats in the bed of his GMT-900 to enable stuff to slide a little easier and to keep the liner from scratching his stuff.

Used to be we worried about our stuff scratching the bed. Now we worry about the bed liner scratching our stuff. ?

if the truck came with it fine but line x i would think be much better option and cheaper....if your only adding bedliner option

 

nothing the manufacturer does is top notch tho, it all has to meet a pricepoint and made for max profit so i wouldn't expect it to be as good....if it happened to come with one fine if not i just go to line x

I think it depends on what exactly the GM liner is. In Canada, GM charges $600 for their liner and Line X charges $530 for theirs. So if the GM liner is decent quality, it might be worth $70 not to have to take your truck to a shop on a weekday, drop it off for a few hours, get a ride or a taxi back and forth, etc.

Thanks for the info. I may just get the bed rug. Had that on my last two trucks and was awesome. If you ever kneeled in the bed the rug is the way to go. I might be waiting for a while anyway with GM not productive with trucks now. I have time to think about it. I like forums, people have honest opinions and is very helpful.

yeah its kind of pain....line x quoted me  like $425 for basic and $525 for their best one which is supposedly really strong and lots of praise.....but yeah I have to drop it off and wait 4 hrs.....its nice to drive off with everything done but not so nice to have liner peeling so that can be hassle too....I have seen quite a few where people had peeling issue when I was looking at doing this, but everyone said line x was superior product so idk.....where I live it probably wouldn't matter but some of you where weather is drastic and how you use truck may or may not be an issue

I like the fact stuff doesn't slide with spray in, I had plastic drop in and everything would be sliding  around in back while driving....paint cans opening up, heavy stuff smashing tailgate for me it wasn't good....but again it depends how you use your truck.....you may want stuff to slide really easy it could be beneficial to some

I went with standard because my understanding is the only thing the "better" ones add is UV protection, which I didn't figure I needed because I have a canopy on my truck.

When I was at the dealership building the truck, I’m pretty sure the spray-on bedliner was built into the AT4. I guess I never did ask if it was an option not to have it done. When I get the truck (not sure when) I’ll let you know how I think of the quality and so forth. I’ll see if I can add a photo too.

I've mostly looked at trucks with the build and price tool and it's been optional on all the ones I've built but I don't think I've built an AT4 and it could just be that the dealers aren't ordering any without the liner. 

 

Yeah, I'd be interested in your thoughts on the quality. Thanks.

anyone try Rhino liner ?  I have been using them for 3 of my last trucks. Price is comparable and it feels thick and dosent kill the knees. Never any issues with it holding up

Had Rhino in 3 different trucks, really liked the product, would use them again if I bought a truck without a liner.

 

The 3 K2's I have/had all came with the factory (Line-X?) and they have worked well, I keep my factory GM rubber mat on top and for the most part things stay in place.

 

The one advantage to the factory, is that they do a nice clean job on the installation, where as no matter where I took my other trucks, they always managed to put a scratch somewhere, or overspray all over the place.

I have a 2020 GMC 2500 AT4 ordered and the package comes with a spray-on bedliner. I have thoughts of purchasing the drop in liner to put over the spray-on. Has anyone ever done this before?


This is so ridiculously unnecessary.

GM factory bed liner is one of the best. It's extremely tough. I've had loads of sharp edged rock dumped into my bed multiple times...the bedliner doesn't seem to mind. Things slide on it quite well too. It is a rough texture and I wouldn't slide anything on it that is softer than the liner. If you want to transport nice wood furniture, etc, put a rubber mat in the bed. I'm honestly amazed that anyone would have any complaints about it.

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
