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

Can I get the link for these plugs?  Thanks!

When I get a few mins, it doesn't look like it would be too difficult to make up a .stl to 3d print them...(kind of appears these might be 3d printed)   Maybe with a bowtie on them...

I'm also toying with the idea of a fog light insert.

The plugs on the bed rail are definitely 3d printed.  If you generate plugs for the holes on the frame in rear wheel well I will definitely buy them.  I'm good with no bowtie as I'm a full de-badge guy.  Regardless... I would buy them and I'm sure people on the forum would buy them.  You would be the first to produce them.

I just dabble with 3d printing for personal stuff & share on Thingiverse.  If I did come up with something, I could make up a few though...

 

Which "holes" are we looking at?  I attached a pic with a few circles.  The ones in yellow could be easily filled with those black "Christmas tree" plugs you can pick up on auto stores or Ebay.  I'm wondering if we'd really want to plug up the ones in blue and green due to moisture/rust concerns.  

With some personal matters, I'm pretty tied up, but might give some time to mess around with something 3d printed.  We also need to realize 3d prints are usually printed in relatively low melting point plastics & depending on design of print might not be real tough.  My thoughts of making a driving light bezel are pretty much on hold due to the heat generated.  Might be able to make something up for some led strip lights for bling, but nothing that would generate much heat.

 

P.S.  Sorry to be off topic.  Will begin a 3d printed thread.

Blue and Green circles is what I was looking at.  Here's a link to the previous generation:  https://www.amazon.com/Red-Hound-Auto-Compatible-Silverado/dp/B01N94IGOG

As to the felt liners, do they hold road salt in the winters and accelerate rust?  I have liners on the fronts of my new truck.  Considering adding them to the back but salt is a concern.  

 

Having them sprayed may be an alternative, but I have not checked around for that.

I've had the felt liners on previous trucks without any issues at all. Yes, they are felt but a simple trip to the car wash or firing up my pressure washer will do the trick (They wash right out).  My 2020 RST didn't have any so I opted for the Husky liner branded plastic ones because the OEM felt you must drill holes in the lower portion front and rear for 4 screws for the lower mounts. You will also have to modify the Husky Liners to mate up with the lower lip front/rear to make them look right but no drilling into your truck!! Some have sprayed with a bed liner product and that works but it does not cover up all the inner workings of the bed/frame/suspension which is obnoxious in my opinion, not to mention spraying does not prevent road dirt, grime, mud from entering areas that a plastic/felt liner will at least help in preventing. JMHO for what its worth.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
