Looking at swapping my black factory wheel arch moldings on my new 2500 HD SLT for the Summit White painted moldings. I am looking for tips and advice to remove the originals - what tools did you use and any suggestions to prevent damage to the paint/body. Thanks in advance for your help!!! Y'all stay safe and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

first of all, good luck finding summit white flares. they are on indefinite backorder. I have been trying for a couple of months now. they have a new part number and that is not available yet.

 

now, it is a pain in the ass to take the flares off and keep the clips intact. they break very easily. there are 23 clips per flare. 3 different types. 19 of them are $6 each at the dealer, and they are super hard to get. 

 

New flares come with all the clips

Those wheel and tires are the worst but the fender flares are pretty sweet

Added the painted flares.  Also tinted the lights while they were off.

I’m sorry for whoever thinks that wheel and tire combo looks good.

Does anyone know if the paint matched fender flares would fit on a Dually truck?

I just purchased a '21 3500HD AT4.  It's black, and am wondering what the painted black part# is?  Honestly, I fight with whether to leave the flat black stock ones on as I think it breaks it up and looks more rugged on a black truck.  Thoughts?

So update:

The summit white flares are not available anywhere. they do have a new part number, but there is 0 stock of those.

The local accessories warehouse does have 5 sets of summit white flares in stock. However, they are not allowed to sell them. They are on LPO hold and have no ETA of availability.

 

The dealer can get the pre-primed, ready to paint flares for me. They are the same price as the painted, but I am trying to get them to honor the 25% accessories discount.

The body shop I use, says they would be about $400 to paint them. They will not touch the textured flares

 

So I am looking at about $925 or so to get a set of painted fender flares. Should I do it??

That's a ridiculous price to pay. Did you check shopchevyparts.com I got my frost white tricoat ones from there in September. Was supposedly on a backorder but they shipped them asap and blew away everyone else's price

I had a body shop smooth and paint mine for $800.  Look factory.

Noticed a couple of days ago that at the shopchevyparts.com website updated the fender flare description saying that it does NOT fit dually trucks. Guess I'm going to have to go the painted route.

Hello everyone, Does anyone have the part number for the Frost TriCoat fender flares. Longing for these flares now that I just picked up a 2021 2500. Love the this truck but suspension is a bit harsh.

Cost me $1500 for my paint matched fender flares and mudflaps. Mudflaps are gatorback and fender flares are bush wacker. Had them painted and installed by a local body shop.

 Yes i do. Here you are. I have also added a backrack. I suggest you get paint protect film before you install the fender flares

Nice, they added the curves back to the sides of truck that the new design kind of took away.  Another new project.

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? 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.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      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!
