I purchased the Weathertech floor liners almost immediately after getting my truck for both the front and rear seats.  While no complaints with the rear, but the fronts have both scratched the door sills to the point of needing replacement.  I am actually going to be ordering the new ones tomorrow.  It seems as if the factory GM liners won't rub against the sill plates.   Does anyone in here have them in their truck and able to confirm/deny?  

I have the GM liners. Z71 Badge. No rubbing.

Weathertech are good floor mats but 'GM premium liners are far superior. I've had both.

I bought the GM premium all weather liners for front and rear. I've pulled them out for the summer without any damage or scratching. They are not a hard stiff rubber. The rears needed trimming to fit

The GM mats are not WeatherTech, thank goodness, and are far superior.  GM got it right with these mats, and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another set if I ever need too.  I have 93K miles on my set

"Tux Mat" for me in the winter time, and carpeted floor mats in the other three seasons. Rubber mats always make me think "cheap" and this truck was not cheap....My bed is even more "trunk like", as it has a hard cover and a Bedrug.

Z71 factory liners in mine. Great fit. Last set of Weathertechs I had was in my '11 Tahoe. Fit was not great in it.

GM Z71 mats, they do fit well. I had WeatherTech from previous truck and I swap the fronts to the WT when I know I'm going to do dirty/rough work. I like keeping the Z71 mats pristine as possible.

Or have them installed under the underseat storage.

They are designed to be cut/trimmed with markings on the backside to follow. I used heavy duty scissors to cut them. Trying to remove the underseat storage unit and getting it remounted would be a pain in the keister twice a year. I take the rubber things out as soon as the weather breaks in the early spring and put the OEM carpet ones back in.

I leave the liners in all year.

Carpeted mats that came with it are in a pile with the carpet mats for several previous trucks.

Same here.  The carpeted mats will go back in the truck when the truck gets sold, or given to one of the kids.

Those that have the rear GM mat. Any issues with how it snaps together in the middle over time? Wondering if they pop up at all over time and use?

Never had that issue with mine.

They're hard to press together in the first place and a pain to pull apart when you want to pull them out to clean them, so NO issues just popping up. I have bench seats in the front and they don't move at all.

Good to hear. Anyone have thoughts on the GM vs the Westhertech HP line?

 

an employee at the dealer said go weathertech HP but I’ve heard such good things on the GM ones too and cheaper

I've had Weathertech but prefer the material of the GM ones. It's more rubber and pliable than the stiffer plastic of the Weathertech.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
