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!

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
