I bought a set of GM floor liners to replace the factory carpeted floor mats for my GMC Sierra.  I just flopped the new liner in the driver side and it appears the locking pins in the carpet don't align with the locks in the floor liner.  They appear to be about 1" forward.  I didn't try to force the liner forward since the molded liner appears to be in position.  Anybody else have to move the pins when installing the GM floor liners?

Before moving pins, I'd move the liner to the locks and snap it down to see how it looks. 

 

Won't take long to try.

That mat lays pretty natural at about a hole width off.  I forced it forward to get it to lock.  It's not as bad as I thought so I am going to try it at this position.  I really don't want to move the locks.  Even more aggravating were the rear mats.  The mats are for either a crew or double cab.  Neither model escapes having to cut the length.  You would think you could buy a liner from GM that fits without having to jack around or trim to install.  The IKEA type instructions indicate cutting with scissors.  Yea right, I had to use my tin snips to cut.

Maybe take them back next time and see if they have another set to compare, and then exchange if other set fits better? Maybe you just have a poorly made set?

Fwiw, rear matts on mine extend under the underseat storage bin. 

 

 

The were installed before delivery --- and I've not been curious enough to remove the storage bin and determine how far they go. It's at least as far as I can get my fingers to slide under...

I don't know who made yours, but my Weathertech mats fit like a glove front and back.  The back set took a day or so to settle down on the edges and are fine now.  No cutting or trimming was required.  They do not go beneath the rear seat storage.

How did you get one that don’t go under your underseat storage? I bought weather tech and had to stuff the rears under the storage and they don’t fit all that great on the sides. Crew cab for reference

Weathertech actually makes two models for the Sierra Crew Cab.  One with the back seat storage and one without it.  The picture shows what I installed.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package.

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.
