I would recommend putting the money towards some rustoleum rubber spray. Its about 7 dollars a can and its very easy to do. Looks better and lasts forever. I have done it and I know many others on here have as well.

 

Just my opinion.

just place your order with GMPartsDirect.com

 

I think mine came out to ~$85 shipped and took about 2-3 weeks. I ordered after the rumor of a national backorder (a couple weeks back). The sooner you place your order the sooner you'll get them!

I simply love the rear wheelhouse liners. They absolutely "finish" a truck and look great.

 

I bought a new 2010 LTZ two weeks ago and the rear whelhouse liners came as part of teh LTZ Plus Package. The LTZ Plus Package includes: Locking Tailgate, EZ Lift Tailgate, Universal Home Remote and the Rear Wheelhouse Liners ... all for $355.

 

And, frankly, if a fella is buying an LTZ, who in their right mind would drop the $45,000 without adding the $355?? The same with the Rear Vision Camera System and the Trailer Brake Controller.

 

Another must-have is the LTZ Convenience Package that gives you Adjustable Pedals and Rear Park Assist for an additional $370.

 

Anyway, yeah the Rear Wheelhouse Liners finish the rig and they cost like $85.00 shipped.

 

Here's my new rig, showing the liners.

Looks great! Gotta love the integrated brake control. If I ever order one, that is at the top of the list. Those need to be included if the truck has a hitch IMHO.

I bought a set from the dealer where I purchased my truck, someone bought a new LTZ and didn't like them, so they took them off, sold them to me for $85. Lucky me.

Absolutely!!!

 

I would NOT have bought my truck if it hadn't had the integrated brake control.

 

In the research I did, the GM integrated brake control is simply the BEST. The GM integrated trailer brake system links the truck's brakes, ABS and transmission to the trailer and it is a totally integrated system. It is also IMPOSSIBLE TO ADD LATER.

 

I thought that the Prodigy was a great trailer brake, but it is a weenie compared to the new GM trailer brake. At at $200, it's cheap.

 

One thing that surprised me was the number of LTZs on dealer's lots that are basically stripped, except for the LTZ trim level. Heck, if you're going to go first cabin, stripped is not gonna sell. There were absolutely no LTZs available locally with the 6.2 liter engine ... and I sure as hell would have spent the extra $1,000 for that. Actually, I'm happy with the 5.3 and see no lack of power, so that's OK.

 

The UBS thingie was a pleasant surprise. As a favor, my saleslady dumped a bunch of my CDs on a 4GigaByte USB, so I have a very convenient way of storing my tunes ... at 67 years of age, I was totally ignorant of the USB's ability to store music and I guess my half-dozen albumns only fills about 1% of the 4Gig USB finger stick. THAT IS SO COOL!!!!!!

 

I am totally in lust love with my new truck. It is gorgeous in every possible way; the color is perfect (I dig RED) and the lack of bling is wonderful. The quality is excellent and I'm looking forward to a long, long love affair.

 

I bought a 10-year service contract, so this baby truck might just outlast me.

will they still fill the gap when you put a 1.5" or a 3" body lift?

yes. on a stock truck they cover all the way to the bottom of the frame. on a body lifted trucks the height of the lift will be the amount of frame visible. They attach completely to the body of the truck.

The best option is to spray the wheelwell with Linex. Like a $100

how do you come to that conclusion?

 

spraying it costs more, takes more time, doesn't hide a body lift, will be a royal pain to get clean and leaves it with an unfinished look

 

the exact opposite of that occurs with the liners,

cost $85 to your door, takes 10 minutes to install, covers the frame and body mounting hardware and hoses off easy.

I really don't see how you came to that conclusion

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
