Hey all, new to the forum. I am looking to add fender flares or trim to my 2014 1500 and need help identifying what are seen in this picture. I really want the black trim or flares (I'm not sure which it is) seen on this truck, but can't seem to find them anywhere. Anyone have any leads? thanks in advance.

If you own a Silverado you can't run those style of flare/trim. The Sierra has different front fenders and bed sides that are stamped different so that the trim has holes to pop into.

 

You would have to go with aftermarket flares if you have a silverado. There are several places that sell them but it all comes down to what style of flare you want and how large you want.

wheel opening moulding are standard on 14-18 gmc,,although your pics looks as though the truck has some type of front as well as rear mud flat extensions, not really able to tell if they are added to factory mouldings

Thanks for the response. Man..... that sucks. I do have a Silverado, but I love the subtle and clean look of the trim in the picture. Now I have to figure out how to do this with what I have....  I'm not a fan of the big fender flares or riveted look at all.

These are the small fender flares I've seen before. There might be others on the market just like it and there might even be some that GM sells too on their accessory website.

 

I would look at reviews and so on to see what others say. There are lots of customer pictures and good reviews on these.

Yea, I looked at those and the reviews seem to indicate there are clear fitment issues. Definitely not something I want to blow money on unless it's a good product, so I won't be going that direction. All said and told, it looks like I'm just going to have to go purchase myself a Sierra :). Thanks again for the input

Those are standard on sierras. Silverados do not have them. My 15 and 19 limited have them

Putco made simple flares for Silverados similar to the Sierra.  They have glossy ones like the picture under the name Black Platinum Fender Trim (https://www.putco.com/black-platinum-fender-trim).  They also have chrome ones as well.  Not sure if they still make them or not.

      Anyone have a spare?

      By B07 · Posted

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?

      Its just that it worked on 2024 trucks on this forum and my 2025 model truck, unless GM did something since that point to screw up access or Autel has a bad update. I haven't had need to use my tool since last year when I did the changes to the placard pressure settings and since then I updated the software on my Autel but have not plugged into the OBD so hard to say if I would get a surprise as well.    All I know last year when I bought the Autel I was warned to be sure to update it before I tried using the unit as they said who knows how long ago unit itself was actually manufactured as the software could be way out of date.

      And so you had gone through the process of registering and updating the tool and so on ?. All I can say is that on the front page as the tool fires up you go to advanced mode, then vehicle model comes up and you choose Silverado ( not the DRW or EV  since your a single rear wheel ) , then I think its choice 2 which is 07/2021 - 12/2026 ( 433mhz 13542523 ) as that is the series of tpms sensors and then go down to choice 5 which is tire type/pressure selection. Hit yes and it says to connect to OBD port and turn ignition on.    Having said this, I updated the software in my tool lately and these year range choices look different from the past due to them doing some updates it would appear and I have not connected up to the OBD port since last year so hopefully I am not in for a surprise with them screwing up the software and that it won't work on my truck anymore either.    So my question is, when you plugged into the OBD and started your truck it had that message on the Autel screen "vehicle not supported" ?. That does seem odd as tire shops would be pissed right off if hey can't use their tool on the model year after mine that in theory is supposed to be much the same truck ... unless GM did some change in the computer system to block certain things from access.
