Wheel well liners


Recommended Posts

Posted

I was looking at placing wheel well liners I the back and found that the GM ones are felt.  This made me question the longevity of them and what the constant moisture against the metal is going to do.  Was thinking of having the wheel wells covered with a spray in bed liner but the dealer said it may void the warranty.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful.

Might void the warranty on the liners
They can't void ur engine warranty for messing with ur wheel wells
My 15 has them and I coated them with bed spray to make them easier to clean
Durability after 5 years they aren't falling apart but I did coat them so not sure
My 2020 I'm gonna remove them and get the inner wells coated and reinstall

My '15 had the same liners. I put 100k on that truck. They held up just fine to everything. Spraying them off with a pressure washer was no big deal and cleaned them up fine. The would probably stay cleaner easier if they were lined though. They are held in with plastic clips so I would say it might be a pain to reinstall them if the coating is too thick. Also, they need to be somewhat pliable to remove/reinstall if needed. As far as you're dealer, I get pretty sick of the dealer regurgitating that stupid line. If you line them, then try to get them replaced under warranty, then yeah, that won't work. But to act like it would void the warranty of anything else, other than the liners is ridiculous. The quality of dealership employees has really taken a dump in the last 5-10 years....

    • Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart? 
    • Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.
    • Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue. 
    • I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
    • Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
