I have a 2020 Silverado Custom that came without rear wheel well liners.  I chose the Husky liners rather than the GM variety because they were hard plastic instead of the felt like liners that GM sells.  Be warned, the Husky liners did not fit and required lots of work with a set of snips before they could be installed properly.  Moreover, the Husky instructions said it wasn't necessary to remove the rear wheels to install their liners.  That might have been true if the liners were a good fit, but since they weren't, the wheels had to be removed to provide the necessary access to modify the liners.  In conclusion, I'd suggest buying GM or another brand besides Husky.

Well shoot, I just received mine for my 19' LT TB. I did a "rough fit" the other day when they arrived but seeing as it was just shy of 100 degrees outside I decided to fuss with them later.. Just by holding them up into where they should go I had a sneaky suspicion of this but figured I just needed to put a little time and effort into it, but I guess my eyes and initial suspicions were correct! lol

MB, I'd send them back and install the GM liners because they'll fit.  I got my my Husky liners looking pretty good but the hassle was not worth it.

Is it possible you got the wrong ones? Reading the reviews on Amazon and they don't seem as bad as you're saying...

Yep, I triple checked the part# and it is correct according the Summit racing Applications section.  One possible explanation could be my excessive perfectionism because I worked with the liners until there were no gaps or other problems that others might not care about.

Yep they were a pita... I took out hardware on the front and back mud flaps/guards and secured the bottoms of the liners but had to cut the bottom lip off of them to sit flush against the body when sandwiched to the body. I also used a ceramic coating spray on the liners when I took them out of the box and now spray what little can adhere to them with a hose and they look brand new w/ no effort. 

 

I am happy with purchase but they are not plug and play if you want them done right.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle for RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging.

      Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.
