I have my new truck scheduled to get rhino lined this week. The problem is that I am seeing a lot of people that have issues with the rhino fading...I like to keep my stuff looking good and I dont want my liner being grey in a year. I have read that the line-x brands do not fade as bad.

 

Also looking at doing over the rails. Anyone have pictures of over the rail bedliner on a 2007 or newer red silverado? Just curious as to how it will look?

 

Thanks for any replies...

Line-X offers XTRA in their's that you can opt. for but I think it cost a little more for that. It has UV protection in it to keep the liner from fading. If Rhino does not offer this why not get it Line-X'ed instead?

I went with Superliner and I love it, very glossy, and it was a littel cheaper than linex with the glossy extra coating. My local GMC dealer installs them. Its not suppose to fade ever.

i have installed many bed accessories, drilled through tons of liners, seen them all from do it yourself jobs to rhino vortex linex... i know it comes down to how the bed is prepped, and how it is sprayed, but hands down every time the linex is thicker and far more durable, i'll put rhino second in line but not a close second at all, i could find my dream truck and if it had a no name liner installed in it i would not buy it until the bed was replaced, those off brand or dealer installed brands are typically junk, paper thin, and peal right up, ive had vortex peal right up from sliding wheels and tires into a bed on many occasions...

If you go Line-X get the "Extra" because it will fade. No where near as bad a Rhino, but still fades. Mine did but I don't care, it's not that bad.

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
