This is so ridiculously unnecessary.

I won’t be installing a drop in bedliner over the spray-on liner. I hope it is what everyone is saying it is. I’ll let you know how I like the spray-on liner.

Just a quick observation on the factory spray in bedliner.  After looking over my truck and installing the bed cover, here is my thoughts.   1. This factory or should I say GM SIBL is exactl

Factory spray bed liner seems pretty tough in my truck. And I’ve thrown all sorts of things in there. Granted it’s a 2017 and not that old?

I was given the option to have it done at the dealership and after looking at the ones on the lot came to the same conclusion you have. Cheap job done with cheap materials without the proper prep work

I had a 2005 1500 that I had the Line-X sprayed in the bed.  Although it was a little more slippery than Rhino, I loved the look of it.  Sold the truck this past summer, and the liner still looked like new.  I had a 2019 3500 with the factory liner and didn't see anything wrong with it, but I only had that truck for about a year.  I now have a 2020 Dually with the factory spray-on.  The dealer had to get me a new tailgate; I am concerned with the new spray-on for the tailgate matching the bed.  Guess we'll see.

Very satisfied with the factory spray in. It is extremely nonskid, but sprays off easily. I've had some small boulders bouncing around in the back and only the non skid got scuffed up. There were no splits or chipping in the finish. Hoping it's uv safe as well. Glad to be away from a slide in liner. Also, I believe that applying it to a fresh paint job allows for a chemical bond which is more durable than a mechanical bond from sanding.

Put 105k miles on my 2016 with the factory spray on and it still looked great when I traded it in on my 2020 with a factory spray on liner.

I had the factory spray in liner on my 2015 and it got used at least twice a week.  Not to mention tossing in fire wood, generators, tool boxes, propane tanks and even a half ton of scrap metal.  In 5 years of abuse I never had it lift, peel or chip.  That's why I made sure my 2020 had it listed as an option before purchasing.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      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.

      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.
