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.

      Joke Thread

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
