Free frame plugs

On a whim I thought I would try this and it worked out great so I thought I would share this cheap mod.

4 pringles can clear tops, some low gloss paint and a beer or two while the paint drys . they fit snug but if you were to end up losing one your not really out anything.

So I'm a new truck owner. I'm always down to learn something new. I see the holes in the frame of my Denali. What does plugging these accomplish? Thanks in advance

They keep debris out of the holes, plus imo, they are unsightly and looks like gm forgot something during assembly

Only thing is can you take them out easy enough to check for moisture and dirt? even with them on you might get some in there. But it does look better.

Yes they come off , I would think if you were to use a high pressure sprayer after some fun in the mud they would come off as well but they are very cheap to replace.

I bought plugs like these on Ebay a few months ago. Here is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rear-Wheel-Well-Frame-Tube-Hole-Plug-1999-2014-Chevy-Silverado-GMC-Sierra-1500-/141706078465?fits=Year%3A2014%7CModel%3ASierra+1500&hash=item20fe572901:g:O3kAAOSwDNdVkWqb&vxp=mtr

 

I like them. They fit great and look like it should from the factory.

Thanks for the info. These wouldn't really be needed if GM still provided full length rear wheel liners like on the last model trucks. The liners on my GMT900 covered the frame.

I think the holes in the frame are for laser measuring for repairs. Ask me how I know... The Pringles tops are a really good idea. The new 16 looks sharp in your photobucket.

These fit the 1500...if you need ones for the 2500 HD then these are what the seller said I needed. 3 1/2 hole size.http://www.ebay.com/itm/141842995151

On my 2011 Silverado the wheel well covers from GM covered these.

But on my 2015 they don't? WTF

This is where I put emergency stash of Pringles!

I bought a set of 4 off ebay (from a different seller than above) for only $11 and they work great!:

If you want to spend more you can get replacement liners from GM (you remove the felt ones and replace them with these longer plastic ones):

ADDED IN EDIT:

I can't get the second link to work but if you go to www.chevroletaccessories.com and click through you can find them under "Wheel House Liner"
