Hey guys, great forum.  I am a newbie here and this is my first post.  I found a new product on another forum (don't worry that forum sucks thats why I am here) and wanting to get your thoughts and comments about it.  It is a epoxy-based bedliner.  The kit comes with the liquid epoxy and bags of rubber chips to add.  I don't know much about epoxy so hopefully someone out there does.  The site praises it, of course they are trying to sell it.  It is a do-it yourself thing.  On my last truck I had the Herculiner roll on bedliner.  That was a piece of sh**t.  I could not drag a 2x4 across it without cutting a gash in it.  I can't see spending $300+ on a sprayliner.

I don't know if I'd give them any money if they can't even afford to spell check their own website...   Just my 2 cents.

Have to determine how long you're going to keep the truck and what kind of uses you'll have.  I initially had a hard liner in my 99 'Rado, but it was scratching the tailgate due to the floor piece being too long.  I had it replaced with a Permatech spray-in, and it works great for hauling mowers, snowthrowers, furniture, etc.

Why would you want a HARD finish in the bed?

 

Spray in liners (Line-X, Rhino, etc) do "chip" with very hard use, but the warranties, usually lifetime, covers that and repairs are just cleaning out the wound and spraying back in material.  I haven't had any chips yet, I think in the product review section someone has had a Rhino warranty chip fix.

 

Spray ins are around $325 for a short bed under rail $375 over.

 

Otherwise if buying a new truck, seriously look at the PROTEC

I went with Line X and am very happy with the performance. I haul lumber and a Quad with no problems. They do have a very good warranty if you would happen to chip it. I have the over the rail and they did a quality job in running a sraight line for the length of the truck. IMO with the investment in the new truck you have I would not fool around with an unproven product.

      The Peckish Synapse

      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.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?
