Watch those floor mats

[RBell]

Funny story, I rotated my tires today since the ones on the front were looking a little cupped. After I got done I figured a nice Smokey burnout was in order. Found a nice back road and let her rip, only problem was the peddle got stuck under the floor mat, needless to say the small burnout turned into one hell of a burnout. Those brakes don’t work to good with all that torque pushin the wheels. At any rate I just thought I would share that one…Have a good weekend everyone. . ROB

I'll bet you left a nice sharp crease in the driver's seat! :-laf

Hell yes, thats the first time I ever took my eyes off the road while doing a burnout. Had to look down and figure out how the peddle was stuck, at least it was a back country road. Think tomorrow I'll cut a space out for the go peddle so I don't have to worry about that ever again.

I had the same issue with my 3500, and aftermarket floor matts. the peddle got caught, luckily I was able to hit the break, get it out of gear and fix the matt issue by getting rid of them.



These are the thick, vinal aftermarket matts with a open spot to the top right where the fuel pedal is.



I will be adding a picture of what i had, so that you can check your matts and be aware of the issue. Hopefully this issue will not cause anyone else off guard and cause an accident...

Turns out the matts that came in my truck were NOT the correct matts, the factory OEM mats were much shorted and fit & look much better. The parts guys can not even find a Dodge part number on them, even though they have the Ram, so they may be aftermarket crap...

I think it was a case of burn out fever simular to buck fever when the shooter empties the rifle!! Could not get his foot to let go due to the heart beat and diesel smoke! :-laf

I just use the OEM mud mats, they fix right and don't move.
