I like the looks of the oem gmc bedcaps, because the back half of them match the design on the oem tailgate cap. Not sure if the quality is on par with some of the aftermarket ones...

My truck came stadard with the bed rail caps. (All 2006 1500 series crew cabs did). They are attached with tabs going through drilled holes in the bed rails. GM accessory bed rail caps mount with double adhesive tape.

I put them on in the fall and they seem very durable and, yes, they match. Easy to install but you do have to be careful and take your time.

Suggestion...Start at the rear of the bed first and work your way towards the front,If you start at the front first the bed cap may be too short when you get to the back! :crackup:

I have seen several of the OEM ones on newer trucks, and IMO they look much better than the after market ones because they match so well, with that said however, I have EGR caps on my '96 that I got at the local truck acc. shop for $52.95, and I'm very happy with the quality, and they had lots of 3M tape on them which was a plus also

I went through 2 sets of aftermarket bed rail caps, the both fit like garbage. The bushwacker was so bad it was rubbing the paint off my tailgate when I closed it.

 

The OEM fits amazing, they are 1000000000 times better the aftermarket.

When I bought the truck I had these horrific diamond plate looking bed rail caps.... I recently pulled them off and put the GM ones on... I highly recommend the GM caps.... they're great. :crackup: I forgot to take pics of the new ones.... but here's the old......

I have OEM ones

Got them for half price at the dealership...they were supposed to be 110 bucks, they gave them to me for 60 cause I brought 10 people in to buy cars last year....I also get a huge discount on just about every accessory I want...just not crate motors or vehicles :crackup:

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
