Finally got my molding painted.  So was waiting to install rear fender liners.  Went to go install today and something does not seem right.  They don’t seem to line up at all.  Can anyone with liners see if they look like the photo, especially those two pieces coming out at the bottom?  Thanks in advance.  Unfortunately the dealer just packed them in a random box so no part number.

The p/n for the liners for the sierra 2500 is 84496084. 

 

Those do look correct for 2500 liners.

 

Procedure
 

Caution: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners, or fastener joint surfaces, unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems. When using fasteners that are threaded directly into plastic, use extreme care not to strip the mating plastic part(s). Use hand tools only, and do not use any kind of impact or power tools. Fastener should be hand tightened, fully seated, and not stripped.

 

Note: U Clips come pre installed on wheel house liner assembly.

  1. Remove the rear tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Vehicle Service Manual.
  2. Remove the rear tire front air deflector, retain the fasteners. Refer to Rear Tire Front Air Deflector Replacement in Vehicle Service Manual.
  3. Remove the rear pickup box paint protector, retain the fasteners. Refer to Rear Pickup Box Paint Protector Replacement
  4. Remove the rear wheel opening molding, if equipped. Refer to Rear Wheel Opening Molding Replacement in Vehicle Service Manual.
  5. Remove and discard the U Clips (1) at the front and rear of lower wheelhouse.
  6. Insert the supplied push nuts (1) into the wheel house areas as shown.
  7. Fit the wheel house liner (1) to the vehicle and install the supplied retainer (4).
  8. Install the supplied plastic threaded nuts (3). Tighten to 2.5 N.m (22 lb in).
  9. Install the supplied bolts (2). Tighten to 2.5 N.m (22 lb in).
  10. Re-install the rear wheel opening molding, if equipped. Refer to Rear Wheel Opening Molding Replacement in Vehicle Service Manual.
  11. Re-install the rear pickup box paint protector. Refer to Rear Pickup Box Paint Protector Replacement
  12. Re-install the rear tire front air deflector. Refer to Rear Tire Front Air Deflector Replacement in Vehicle Service Manual.
  13. Re-install the rear tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Vehicle Service Manual.
  14. Repeat procedure for other side.

Thanks.  I looked at the photos of that part number and they do look like the correct ones.  Not sure what I’m missing.  Luckily, the molding install went smooth.

I ran into the same problem. I believe I ordered the GMC liner instead of the Chevy one. I noticed it was kinda stamped on top with GMC. It's kinda hard to see. Now the Chevy liners are on back order for who knows how long.

Thanks for the instructions.. I'm a little confused on what bolts to use where though.. Any chance there is a diagram?

I watched a video of installing on a 1500.  Similar concept.  Those 7 torx inserts go in the square holes, 3 in the straight portion of the well, 2 on front, 2 on rear square holes.  The black plastic push style nut goes on the top middle, the other two go on front and rear, kind of a pain so I used a socket.

thanks but still at a loss.. it seems the front and rear plastic rock protectors thing have bolts and stuff themselves.   They actually dont even line up.. Called Chevy and may have the wrong part number.  What I received is 84496084, can you share your part number with me?

Looks like they gave me the ones for the GMC Sierra, not the ones for the Silverado.. so to be clear in case someone else wonders why they don't fit.. The local dealer is trying to get me the correct ones now. 

 

84496084 = Sierra
84729676 = Silverado

I didn’t have the part number.  The dealer threw them in on the deal, and for some reason they came in a random box.  Didn’t see a part number on the liners, but didn’t look that closely.  Mine didn’t line up that well, but eventually did when I started tightening.

Thanks, found out that in fact my part was the wrong one, it was for the Sierra..  see post below, (and above I guess)> :)

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      By Jay-22-2500 · Posted

      I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through.
