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.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
