'22 Sierra 2500HD SLE.

 

In my previous truck (and I think all the ones before that), I had straight black interior (plastic stuff - dash, doors, floor mats etc). This time, I decided to change it up and chose Dark Walnut/Slate. I quite like the look and it seems a bit cooler in the hot seasons. I opted for the floor mats which cover the floor carpetting, including over the centre hump.

 

However, I have found that the floor mats really get noticeable scuff marks. We have two vehicles, so don't use the truck all the time, and the wife usually spends the most time in the passenger seat when we travel. And she usually places her purse in the left corner of the floor on her side (leaning up against the hump). When removing the two front mats to clean them, I noted they are both quite scuffed, especially where the wife lays her purse.

 

The truck is about a year old (about 15k miles) and it has way more noticeable scuff marks than my prior truck at ten years, with the same frequency of use.

 

Any suggestions to mitigate this issue?  I'm almost thinking about buying a new set, but would likely have to repeat this every season.....

If you have the factory added on rubber floor mats like I do.  Here's a simple solution to your problem.  I just vacuum them out, spray simple green on them, scrub them down with a nylon scrubber.  Then wipe it all up with a towel.  They look good as new when I'm done.  Takes like 10 minutes.  All the marks are gone.

    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.  
    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
