Sorry if this has been addressed before.  There were actually a lot of results in the search, too many, in fact, to find the answer I was looking for.

 

I'm in the market for a carpeted bed liner.  I'm looking at Bedrugs but I also see that Chevy offers the OEM 'Carpeted bed liner'.  Are these the same thing, are they both made by Bedrug?

Does anyone have the OEM liner that can shed some light on pros/cons of getting one over the other?

Not sure about the GM rug, but I bought the Bedrug version and have been very happy with it.   The bottom is foam, molded to the shape of the bed, with carpet on top.  I like that it pulls out when you need it to and cleans up easily.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm definitely leaning towards the Bedrug. 

 

I'm looking on the GM Accessories site and the rug parts and install kit look eerily similar to the pictures on the Bedrug site. 

Now that I'm doing the math Bedrug, GM Site (with the 20% Legends discount) and Amazon are all coming out about the same price.

I actually had to phone Bedrug once and they informed me that they actually make the GM version for them. They are exactly the same thing only the GM one has the logo embroidered on it!

That's what I figured.  The similarities were just too many for it not to be that way. 

 

I think I'm just going to order it direct from Bedrug.  I could go either way on the embroidered Chevy symbol that no one but me will ever see and GM wants to ship their stuff to my local dealer, except my dealer isn't in their list, and I'd rather deal directly with Bedrug.

You can't go wrong with the bed rug I have it in my truck but I also have a camper shell however I like the bed rug because you can use the Rough Side of velcro and stick smell items to it LOL it is beyond convenient :-) it goes in with a bunch of Velcro that gets taped down on the perimeters I only used it at the tailgate Edge and the tailgate itself. Therefore you have tons of extra Velcro for any other projects :-). In summation I would say go for it and you will not be unhappy. I didn't pay for mine GM gave it to me with some pro professional accessories blah blah blah to make the deal sweeter. I did not think I would like it because I had the spray in bedliner anyway however it is great and the dog loves it.

I have a 2014 with the Chevy Carpeted Bed liner, from the dealer It's a Bedrug with the Chevy logo embroidered on it.

I read that yesterday and it didn't click with me.  Just read it again and that makes sense now.  Definitely a plus.

Thanks for the feedback and pictures.  I like that it's a nice, clean install.  My wife isn't quite on board yet, guess I'll just have to get one and convince her.

Don't know if you have a tonneau or not but the first time your wife sits on the tailgate or in the bed (sporting events, fireworks, camping, etc.) she will be sold on it!!

I have Bedrugs in both my 2018 Silverados. As long as you aren't hauling dirt or rocks they are the best bed liners . I actually have a moving blanket spread over to keep them nice and new looking. If you are hauling dirt or rocks get a spray in liner .

How hard is it going to be to clean if it does get dirty?  If I were to haul dirt/gravel etc I'd likely drop a tarp first, but I'm curious how easy they are to clean once dirty.  I do have a gas powered pressure washer.

That's what's appealing to me.  I'm getting too old to be crawling around the back of my truck on metal or a spray in liner.

I haven’t done it yet but the company (BedRug) says you can put dirt in it and just hose it off.  Not sure I buy that, but it should clean up.  As said, if I was hauling dirt, rock, mulch, I’d throw down a tarp.  Actually, Harbor Freight has moving blankets that are pretty cheap and I’d probably throw that down too.  I don’t think a BedRug is the best liner if you’re main use of the bed is frequent hauling of this type of material.  For the rest of us where this is possible but infrequent, a BedRug is a great liner and a tarp should work when hauling dirt, rock, . . .

 

I have the BedRug and a tonneau cover and am very happy with it.  It’s like a giant trunk.  Next best thing would be an old Crown Vic.  I guess if I could get the same thing for the same price with a Chevy logo on it, I’d probably go that way.

I own a few of these and use them regularly.

 

I owned my 2014 for 4 years and hauled dirt in it one time, and that time was a last ditch effort.  We were volunteering for a local battered women's shelter replacing their outdoor garden area and ran out of space to put the old dirt.  I took a load of it just to get it out of there.

 

One last question.  Is installation made easier by letting the parts 'soak' in the sun for a while to make them a little more pliable or does it matter?

I think a pressure washer would work pretty good. I would presoak it first with some laundry detergent and hot water then after an hour or so blast away then hit it with a wet dry vacuum and let it sit in the sun to dry .

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
