Thought I started a post on this but cant seems to find it . Our truck came without the Rear Wheel Liners and it seems to me that it would be a smart thing to put some in to prevent crap from hitting the metal there ,along with what ever deicing they put on the roads .

 

I'm thinking the Husky plastic ones but some say the fitment his hit ands miss ?

 

What about the GM factory ones that are like the front  which seems to be a felt type fabric ?

 

I have hard you need to take off the black  mouldings around the wheel well to get the factory ones on ?

Before I put anything in there Im going to Wool Wax the hell out of the metal 

Thank you !

I used the huskys. One fit good the other didn’t and I had them send me a new set and I ended up using one from each set they sent me. They gave me a discount and I was able to talk to a rep when I called that spoke English as a first language. I would buy from them again. 
They have been on since 2022 with no issues. I like them better than the factory ones too because they cover the whole frame rail and the factory ones don’t at all. Also they are hard black plastic and don’t hold any crud. They are easily sprayed clean.

I got the Husky's from Amazon 6 months ago ($120).  They fit my 2024 2500HD WT LB perfectly!  Ok, installation is a little tricky to get everything lined up, and loosening (don't think I had to remove) the lower mud guards and figuring out how the liners fit with them.  Oh, ok, one of the keepers lined up with a bed support so I couldn't put the keeper on the backside, but I just shoved it in and put goop on the head to hold it in.  Liners are completely secure, cover just the right amount, and look good!

I had Husky's on my 2022 1500 truck, and now again on my 2024 2500 truck.  No issues. Worth it.

Interesting....I just looked up Husky wheel well liners for my '23 GMC 3500 and they are not available for my truck.  They are available for Chevy 2500 but not 3500.  They are also not available for the GMC 2500.

 

I do have the factory wheel liners but they do not protect the frame rail...just the wheel well.

I wonder if the overload springs or perches are in the way.

From what I have noted in looking at videos of the Husky liners for the GM HD trucks, if they only make the one style that would be flat across the lower inner part of the well insert from front to back of the liner assembly, that isn't going to work in the 3500 or the max tow diesel 2500. It is indeed those overload spring pads that are fastened to the outside of the frame that are in the way and if one looks at a 2500 that has the factory wheel well liner, I believe they are the same as the 3500 and they have a fair section of a flat surface molded into them to use the three clip/screw holes on the inner lower part of the steel wheel well and then the factory liners are molded to jut towards the tire if you will to accommodate those overload spring pads. So if no aftermarket company makes ones that are similar to the factory shaped liners, they would not fit without some major hacking up of the liner and that wouldn't make much sense to do. So more than likely if one needs liners for a 3500 its going to be the factory ones that will work such as they are with them not hanging down further to hide the frame rail.

Yeah, you've got to get them in the TINY slot cut into the plastic, fender trim, not just on the backside. 

 

Go run your hands on the inner lip of your factory installed front fender liners. That's how they're supposed to go.

Brad . No I have not waxed the front wheel fender wells . The truck came with the factory felt type front wheel liners. So I did not remove them to wax the metal underneath them . I want to do this waxing on the rear fender well metal before installing  the rear liners  . Im not waxing the liners Im waxing the metal . Sorry if I did not come across as I intended .

Not sure if any of you read my post about the issue I had with headlight condensation awhile back

 

If  you did I think that the problem was that when I washed out the front wheel wells when cleaning the truck The felt liners allowed the water to get in behind the  headlight lens and that caused the condensation .

 

I don't see those felt liners being waterproof if they are being blasted with water . 

Thoughts ?

Thank you !

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
