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.

I just used a putty knife to lift the molding up and slid the liner under it. easy peasy

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 !

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
