I have a Rhino Liner or something I think, it was right around $500 to get it done.

 

Line-X was over $700 where I live.

I second the LineX recommendation.

The Linex is worth every penny......Around here in the Boston area the linex starts at 500 and goes up a next level to 625 if I remember correctly...The only difference in the 2 the guy told me was one sun fades a little quicker on the 500$ one...I have a tonneau cover,and my truck is garaged so I really don’t need to worry about it fading...

i recommend the bed Carpet, its easy to install and remove and the bed will have the oem paint finish when you sell it.  $200, partial kit, and $400 for full bed kit

My previous truck had a spray in bed liner, but everything would slide around back there, this time I went with a simple $100 Rough Country rubber bed mat.  I like it, things don't slide around anymore, but it doesn't protect the sides of the bed.

I have no experience with Rhino Liner but this is my 2nd truck with LineX.  Had to cut a hole for the B&W 5th Wheel/Gooseneck adapter.  Used a cricular saw to cut it, you can ser how thick is Line X.

 

The red part is the bed thickness, the blue part is the LineX, is about 1/8 in thick.

I had line x premium in my Colorado witch was cheaper to get done. My Silverado standard bed double cab line x wanted $800 bucks to do it so I went with rhino it was around $500 to do and tbh they both seem about the same the line x seems harder the rhino seems a little more soft/grippy. Either way I’m happy with it it’s under a tonneau cover so fading wont be an issue. Don’t really haul anything either.

Out of curiosity, why did you get the bed liner if you don’t haul stuff?  What made you spend $500 on spray in vs $100 on a bed mat?

I do Occasionally haul stuff in the bed my truck was a dealer demo and had some scratches already in the box. And personally I think a spray in Liner looks a lot cleaner and the bed rugs that cover the whole bed are expensive as well and I just don’t like the look of them.

I think, this time, will skip the Tonneau Cover.  Since the truck main purpose is to haul our 5th Wheel Camper, intalling and removing the 5th Wheel Hitch is easier to deal with.  Beside, when brand new, after the liner was on, I hauled 3 oak trees to the dump site, 5 trips.  I am using the truck like a truck.  Maybe in the future, might get a Tonneau Cover, who knows.

I wish that I could remember the brand of spray in that the dealer had installed in my 2005 Silverado.  It was the typically hard liner.  It almost had a soft feel to it, and was super grippy unless it was wet.  I once drove 45 minutes to work with the tailgate down and a case of oil sitting on it and it didn't move.  I got to work and I was like WTF, no wonder people were giving me a lot of distance today.  :  )

rhino liners is much softer than lineX, i preffer the softer feel , but the linex if very grippy and abraision resistant.  I still would do a full bed carpet with walls and tailgate,  makes crawling in the bed to grab stuff easy on the knees, warmer feel  bed camping, noise isolation is great cause its 1" foam under it, dogs love it,  what else can i rave about. if hauling dirt lumber i would get OEM plastic liner instead of spray liners. they go used on craigslist for  $50

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      https://precisionlubrication.com/articles/oil-filter-efficiency/     For them it is a problem of $$$$ and compliance. To cover both they have to lie from the heart.    Government wants low waste oil numbers so the bar needs to be very low on contamination to met that requirement.  Consumer wants cheap maintenance (perceived cost). Again requiring a low bar.  OEM wants high margins at a cost effective warranty rate and lots of repeat customers. More low bar.  Filter manufacture wants the same thing the OEM wants. See the pattern?   Consumers are fickle and also want perfection requiring a HIGH bar. Inconsistent with all of the above. Consumers can be, when the put their minds to it, inquisitive, love winning arguments which requires some useful information to be available to support them. And this is where it gets sticky and the lies begin.    Information needs a solid well grounded point of reference if we are to compare in a useful way. There is a standard for this.  ISO 4548-12. This standard sets the particle size at a specific Beta ratio and darn few are faithful to its intent.    If they don't state the test method they change the particle size or the Beta ratio to hit a perceived favorable standard. They obscure the information in a way as to prevent direct comparisons leaving the consumer with one method. UOA's with an ISO 4406 test result. Pricey and not allot of labs willing to do the work. Lobby work happens everywhere, not just at the seat of government.

      IF,IF,IF. If they cared about quality instead of profit and this applies to any company, what a concept.

      2001 GMC Sierra - Banging feeling in steering wheel

      By Christopher Miller · Posted

      Good Morning Gents..hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful saturday morning. I have a 2001 GMC Sierra that I bought used in 2018. I am the 2nd owner and its a beautiful truck. Ive put about 60,000 miles on it and recently the front end has felt funny. Kind of loose when hitting bumps adn sometimes I actually feel a "bang" in the steering wheel. I took it to a local guy who said that everything was tight and he tightened the steering box. It didnt feel much better, so I had him replace the front shocks, which had noto been done since I bought it. It had the check enging light on so I took it into a local garage to fix that and check out the suspension. Everything is original and the rubber bushings that I can see look bad. They said everything was tight and there wasnt any play in the front end. Im concerned about the banging feeling in the wheel. Ive been driving this truck for 8 years, so I know how it usually feels and this is something new. Its a second vehicle, so I dont drive it all the time, but Im trying to use it more often. I live out in the country and some of the  roads are kind of rough and I alive on gravel roads. Anyone deal with anything like this before?

      Well, 2 no-bid contracts to donors didn't seem to result in a good job...
