Hey guys, looking for recommendations for in channel rain guards for a 2020 lt trailboss crew cab.  My truck is black do not sure if I’m going to go smoke or matte but reading really mixed reviews on Amazon across a lot of brands.  Thanks for the help.

Weather Tech smoke was my choice for my 2015 and they have been solid performers ever since. No complaints.

I’m also a new owner of a 2020 Silverado Crew Cab. My dealership included AVS window vents and the bug deflector in smoke black. I haven’t installed them yet. But I like the smoke black color with the chrome trim of my LTZ. I compared the matte black vs smoke black and I prefer the smoke black.

I wound up going with dark smoke by US Visors thru eBay.  Made in USA.  I’ll let you guys know how they turn out.  Thanks for the help.

I've been using WeatherTech for about 15 years on various vehicles. No issues so far. They're now one of the first things I install on every new car my wife or I purchase.

Ever wonder why OEM's got rid of 'drip rails'? Wait! So Weathertech could become a company :crackup:!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The EPA not seeing some company making a device 10 times dirtier aero wise as a drip rail is like God watching Noah get drunk making wine and saying "Wow! Didn't see that coming".

Yet, GM offers a similar product through the accessories catalog that sticks onto the outside of the door, which, by the same logic, creates even more drag. The EPA should put car manufacturers out of business that offer those products. /sarcasm

I have had the AVS on my Honda Ridgeline for the last 14 years. They look just like they did the day I put them on it. no fading no cracking. With that said I will purchasing this brand in the next couple weeks for my Sierra.

I have the AVS in channel in smoke on my CC LTZ, overall pleased, but not floored.

Pros:

- Smoke looks good on the truck

- doesn't block view of either mirror (vent visors on my 2010 F150 did)

- doesn't interfere with window sensors (pinch/auto up/down)

- with the windows cracked and the covercraft sunshade in my black interior truck doesn't get too hot sitting in the sun and the AC quickly cools it down.

Cons:

 - had to return several different shipments that arrived from Amazon scratched, took them three tries to get it right

- AVS is printed on the plastic and can't be removed unlike other brands that have a little stick on badge that can be pealed off.

 

Here they are on my truck...

Chevyguy, do you have a picture of the bug deflector on the truck? I'm trying to decide if I should get that next. Thanks in advance!

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer just confirmed that GM is "out of AC compressors."  Not sure if all 2019 to 2026 trucks use the same compressor, but a shortage like that is hard to believe.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think we're reaching the end of constant projects/work.   The water pump bolt appears to have self-sealed, as it's not leaking anymore. I'll take it, and, I'm ready should it self-unseal! I was also getting an oil leak at the front oil pan seal and timing cover and came to find a pan bolt on the corner wasn't even finger-tight. Too easy. And, it was. But, it appears tightening it has reduced a leak producing spots on the ground every time I parked, to just a weep, leaving an occasional dot on the cardboard that lives under it while parked. That's acceptable on a 30 year old engine in my book. I do hate leaks, but, replacing the pan seal is quite the job.   The rear washer line is reconnected and the sprayer works, although getting an intermittent washer fluid drip off the bottom. I think it's just residual...the reservoir filled up the channel in the rear floor and drained down into the upside-down spare tire/wheel. So there are residual puddles all over under there, will wait a few days for it to spill out and dry before I go chasing a potential leak.   The door speaker...no dice. Speaker works just fine, it's that channel in the factory amp that's gone bad. Can't win 'em all. And, whomever buys this will probably tear out the factory radio for something more modern anyway.   I put about 110 miles on it yesterday. Put a lot of wind and heat into it with some mountain driving. Still runs great. Near the top of the pass I got off on a gravel side road and put about 10 miles on with 4hi engaged. Works great.   If ya squint, she's mint! God I wish these were still in production. I can see why they're not. They're rudimentary bordering on agricultural. They began life as a pickup truck and then modern society demanded the rear be enclosed for kids and crap. They're still a pickup underneath, and that gives them lots of ride character, sway and bounce and bump steer. They're alive on the road, and, at least for purposes of nostalgia, it makes driving one a lot of fun.   The Check Engine light did come back on the pass, P0134 for the upstream O2 sensor dropping out. Putting heat into the exhaust causes it after about 10-15 seconds of increased load at higher RPM. The downstream sensor is completely mangled (someone clearly had a rough time removing it, but they didn't replace it?) so I'll just put two in it. For what, mostly to cure the CEL, I can tell the cat is damaged. It's not plugged or fractured, but it's not catalyzing. There's some guilt in not fixing it, but at a cost of $500+, the truck just won't get driven much under my watch. I dislike the smell...running the truck in the shop even with both doors open and the overhead fans blasting, I still reek of pre-cat exhaust. Sticks to clothing and everything else.   Window motor (I'm dreading this), and tires, and that should be about it. 50/50 on Starfire Solarus H/T's, or spending $20 more per tire and going with Cooper Discoverer RT's. I like the look of the RT's a lot more, but is it worth it? I've got a really good (just very old) Toyo Open Country XTX on there now and I like it.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      From what I've seen, they "could" sell the switch but designed the assembly such that the switch can't be readily removed and replaced without removing a plastic locating pin.  Sure appears aimed at forcing the end user to purchase a $900 shifter assembly instead of a $20 switch.  Thankfully I still have some extended warranty left...  this one has had warranty repairs almost every 5K miles from the day I bought it.

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      I'm well aware of the typical bathtub failure curve, but plotted, this truck has been more like an elevated straight line.  It started days off the lot with misfires that GM couldn't solve for almost 2 years, and steadily continued over the last 5 years with repeat replacements of wiring harnesses, camera modules, cameras, parking sensors, head unit, rear windows, rear leaf springs and bushings, lower control arms, a radiator, and now an ac compressor and a column shift assembly.
