Bought a set of Weather Tech's and my wife is irritated by the floor mat sliding around. I was thinking of getting some Velcro to stick to the bottom, but am open to better suggestions.

 

I'm a bit disappointed in the WT floor liners and they factory mats suck. My old truck(2014 fx4 Ecoboost) had awesome factory rubber floor mats. Are the premium Silverado mats rubber or thermoplastic like the WT's?

The Z71 OEM GM mats on the 2019s are unbeatable. They do not move one millimeter. 

^^^ He’s right ^^^

 

Sorry you already bought the weathertechs already.

The salesman I used told me the WT's were better than the Z71's .....are the Z71's rubber, because I might buy a set of the fronts.

Yeah I had WT in my 14. They moved around since there is not anchor and they are smooth bottomed. My wife hated them. I went with Husky liners in my 16. They at least have spikes on the bottom to grab the carpet.

mine '19 LTZ Z71 comes with rubber for fronts and rear, as other have said, they do not move at all.

Only thing I don’t like about the OEM mats compared to the WT ones is the holes in the driver side that snap over the pins to hold it in place. Salt and crap is going to find it’s way down there in the winter.

I used velcro to keep the passenger side mat in place on my wife’s ‘17 Yukon. Worked great. 

 

That said, I have the factory rubber floor liner and they’re awesome.

Should've bought Husky Liners.

 

I don't know how weathertech stays in business.

I will not buy Weathertech anymore - used to praise them . now they suck  the trans and non trans wiener

liner or factory GM liners now are great

my 2017 Yukon denali GM liners didn't go under Driver gas pedal - so cut up weathertech liner and glued under neath to get full protection

Look in the bottom of the box for a set of red carpet-grabbers. I didn't see them initially and was extremely annoyed by the sliding around but after googling a little I pulled the box out of the trash and found them. Add them and the carpets will stay put.

I bought front and rear weather techs. The rear does not fit at all. Very disappointed and have yet to hear back from customer service. I think you can instal the carpet anchors ? May help out.

I bought these and there is a 1-1/2" gap at the dead pedal, the rest of mat fits great. Shopchevyparts.com now tell me they dont have a mat that fits those truck and i can send if back if i want, but they have nothing to fix it!

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      OCI, not when but why?

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.

      Engine Wear and ISO 4406   1.) Cold Starts. 2.) High Particle Count. 3.) Low operating temperature viscosity and high low temperature cranking viscosity. 4.) Depleted AW, Friction and Acid packages.  5.) High engine load.    https://me.caltexlubricants.com/en_me/home/learning/from-chevron/heavy-duty-diesel-vehicles-and-equipment/The-Importance-of-Clean-Engine-Oil-and-Its-Impact-on-Equipment-and-Business-Performance.html   High particle counts have five sources. 1.) They are manufactured within the engine. Both wear debris and amalgamation of degradation products and combustion driven soot (worse in GDI). 2.) They are ingested via intake air. Ever hear the best oil filter is a good air filter? 3.) They are entrained in the fuel. 4.) This one is insidious. They are introduced in 'fresh oil'. 5.) They are introduced during the oil change.   ISO 4406 is the test that measures and quantifies the combine effects of all of the above particle related issues. You can mitigate your way into multiples of engine life by being attentive to them all.    https://www.hyprofiltration.com/blog/is-new-oil-clean   (from the link above)    [Quote] What Is the Recommended ISO 4406 Cleanliness Code for New Oil?   A good upper limit for new oil cleanliness is 16/14/11 (ISO 4406). Typical new oil usually has ISO codes of 19/17/15 or worse, which is far too dirty for sensitive components. This can be a major cause of degradation and premature failure.
