Nice. Good call. I think liners are a must have accessory. They make the truck look a lot better, not to mention the great protection they give.

I put them in my TrailBoss a couple of weeks ago. Then put some in a friends TrailBoss a few days later easy install and look great plus the added protection.

I'm curious to see the video.  I'm thinking about using my credits to get them.  Thank you!

Also, Amazon sells the little frame plug caps for those annoying holes that you see on the frame at the back wheel. Pretty inexpensive for one set and they just push in,. The wheel well inserts are great for soundproofing as well

Alright i installed them, i did a video from inside of the truck on the same route and did not hear a difference in the audio (so i will not post them). I will put a How-To up on the site soon (well hopefully soon). overall fairly easy to install.

 

A good T10 and needle nose pliers are your friend for this installation.

Picked up a '19 Z71 this week. ( :) ) , and already have a tonneau cover and running boards on the way.

I will be putting rear wheel liners in, but still unsure if I want to go the felt oem route, or aftermarket plastic.

I see TB75 sprayed the inside instead, which I also thought about doing.

 

I'm having thoughts of getting OEM felt's and coating them with a few coats of aerosol truck bed liner before installing.  Wondering if that would make them easier to clean (Michigan salt), while still helping with sound.  

Thoughts?

I had mine sprayed, much better than a felt liner.

If you don’t mind me asking How much did that run you?

I know for the small amount of dirt/mud that gets on the fronts easily comes off with a hose. I do not believe that you need to coat them IMO.

Hey man, yep I paid $200 to have it done.  I tried to find a Line X dealer around me that would do it, but none of them did.  So I found a local truck shop, but they used a Raptor liner instead and followed up with a clear coat.  Looks great and super happy with the outcome!

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
