Well, I guess no new truck is truly yours till your 3 year old pukes in it. On a related note, screw you, GMC for those BS rear floor mats in my AT4 that are impossible to get out...

if you have the gm version of the weathertech floor liners, they snap together in the middle

True, but they go up under the carpeted storage bin under the rear seat. That’s the hard part. And, while I’m at it, screw GMC for that tiny strip of carpet at the bottom of the back of the front seat. You know, the spot where the puke would land?  I’ll quit biatching now...

I really, really wish TRUCKS would come with rubber flooring with provisions to snap on carpeted floor mats. That’s the way it should be. Carpet looks nicer and hides all the little stones, grass etc that gets tracked in.  Need to get muddy?  Throw the carpet mats in the back because the floor underneath is rubber. Duh. 

 

Somebosy listen. Please. :)

They do they’re called work trucks.

Carpeting I believe is better for road noise reduction. I agree though... You buy a vehicle with carpeting, then spend $2-300 on rubber/plastic floor liners to protect the carpet lol... I don't like carpeting in my house or vehicle... Whenever we recover a floor in a room we switch to some type of laminate, hardwood, tile etc...

The floor mats do go under the storage compartment but if you detach them in the middle they easily just slide out from under it.

Well, my dealer forgot to reinstall the carpeted storage area under the seats when they put my Z71 all weather mats in.

 

I guess this the upside for missing that... it will be easier to remove if my toddler mucks up the truck with his lunch. Lol

I hope you are going to go back to the dealer and have them put that back in.   You paid for it and should have it.

Yeah, I am. Dealer is a buddy of mine. They swapped for my truck with a different dealer, who is the one who left the carpeted storage thing out. So my buddy has a new one for me.

That's strange my rear floor mats don't go under the storage bin under the seat

The correct installation is actually to cut the liners before the storage bin. But many dealers just put the bin down on top of them... making it harder to remove them.

My storage bin I bought was from the dealership and I put it in, no cutting of the mats.

You don’t have to, but the mats have a cut line on them where you can. Thus, you can remove the mats without having to remove the bin.

If I’m not mistaken, the cut line on the mats is for the GM accessory lockable storage box, not the little carpeted bin. The lockable storage box needs a lot of cutting on the mats or the lids won’t sit right. The carpeted bin technically needs no cutting to install but I trimmed my mats around it to make it easy to pull the mats out. Worth noting that the places I cut did not match that of the lines on the mat, I had to take more off in certain areas to get the fit I wanted.

    • Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).
    • Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.
    • Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood. 
    • This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck
    • It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
