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 !

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
