After a little research I narrowed my choices down to these two. Anyone have experience with either?

I just got a set of weathertech's for my truck, I haven't had any experience with the Husky mats. I love the weathertech mats, they provide full coverage and don't move around. They aren't so slippery that your feet slide around on them either. I have a CC and the rear mat covers everything invluding under the seat, comes in handy with the rugrats back there. I don't think you would be disappointed with the weathertech's, I ordered them directly from their site and had them within a week.

I had the Huskys in my 03 SD and have them in my current truck - 07 Silverado CC. They kept the interior clean, don't slip around on the carpet. They hold a lot of dirt, mud, liquid, etc. When I removed them in the SD when I sold it, the carpet underneath them looked brand new.

 

I don't think you can go wrong with either choice.

I've got the Husky's as well. They don't slip and hold a ton of crap in them.

I had a pair of weathertech's and had to get rid of them because where the heal of my foot is, after a while it would wear threw the mat. i recently got of pair of husky and it seems like they are aware of the problem so they put a reinforced diamond plate looking square where your heal sits on the mat.

You might also check out Fox Weather Boots. They are fairly expensive, but totally worth it and the finest in the industry.

I ordered a set of Fox's for my Duramax and my wifey said, "Holy Crap, they are a fortune. Don't even think of buying any for my Tahoe."

 

You guessed it. When they came, wifey took a looooong look at them and asked nicely, "Do they make those GREAT floor mats for my Tahoe????"

 

Yup, I ordered her a set that very day.

 

I WILL have Fox Weather Boots in every new rig until I can no longer drive a truck. They are that good.

I've had the same set of husky liners in two trucks now. I had them in my 03 1500 first and then when I traded the 1500 in on my current 07 2500HD I tranferrred them over. They've seen about 80k miles between the two trucks and I can pull them out, clean them and they still look brand new. They hold up great and hold a lot of dirt, mud, snow, water, etc. The carpets in my 03 1500 still looked brand new after 65k miles. I've never used the weather techs so I can't vouch for them but I surely can vouch for the Husky's.

I had the Fox Weatherboots in my last two trucks. Thought they were great. I got the Weathertech ones for my new body style 08. They don't fit as well as the weatherboots did. And they don't come up high enough in the center of the floor. Wish I had spent the extra few dollars and gotten the Weatherboots. As far as wear and tear on either kind, I always put the factory floor mat right on top of the liner. Liner doesn't get worn especially from the heel.

We've had Husky's in 3 vehicles and Cabelas brand in one, and the Cabelas ones are junk. We love the Husky's! I've never had weather tech, but they sound like a good choice too. I doubt I will every buy them for any vehicle because I have never had bad luck with Husky's at all. Plus I like the diamond plate look of the Husky's.

I like the diamond plating too - goes very nice with a truck - we also have them in our 06 Explorer 4WD in the front, second row and the liner for the hatch! Liner for the hatch works great for our german shepherds - keeps the carpet nice and clean :lol:

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
