I've been contemplating getting a liner for my Sierra. I was wonder what everyone's experiences were with the various products i.e. Rhino, LineX, TOFF, Herculiner etc. What is your preference?

 

Is the cost savings of doing it myself worth the headache?

 

Really interested in the Herculiner...I've heard lots of great things, but there has to be some down sides...any you find?

 

Thanks Always

First off, search, this subject has been been debated, argued about, and some people were even called some pretty offensive names over it in the past. :cheers: Personally, I like the texture of LineX the best (which is why the bottom half of my truck is sprayed with it).

Linex is by far the superior product in comparision to plastic/ or Rhino! Hercul??? I can say from having two Linex trucks it rocks and is super durable and long lasting!

There have been jillions of threads on this subject but everyones opinion is valued. Have had 4 pickups with the spray-in liners and they have all taken lots of abuse. The first was a Turbo Liner and it was tough but looked crude. The last 3 have been Line-X bedliners and have been more than satisfied with the Line-X as it is tough and also looked good. Probably a lot depends on the installer. I really like the texture and appearance of the Line-X. Have had the bed rails sprayed on the last 2 installations and that is something you might consider. :cheers:

Line-X is great looking, rugged and rough-surfaced. No after-spray - I've had two beds done (a ford and a gmc) and both were absolutely beautifully done... I guess some Line-X shops now offer matching colors now but I have a white gmc and had it done in black.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
