I really like the Arma coatings...

 

Alot depends on the person doing the work.  Around here the ARMA guy is excellent and treats your truck like it was his...

 

I'm guessing if he had bought a Rhino franchise then I'd be saying the same about Rhino.

 

The lesson is, look at the work the guy has done in the past...  I think they are all pretty good but they are only as good as the person who applies them...

I had an Ultimate Liner put in mine, I choose it because people at work had it done by this guy a few years back and the work was excelent.  I just had mine done about two months ago by the same guy, excelent work, treated my truck like his. I paid $400 for a long bed.  

 

I also agree that you should look at the quality of the work.

I've got an Arma coatings liner and couldn't be happier w/ it.  Very high quality and a perfect job.

My buddy has a truck dealership here in town.  Everytime they get in a used vehicle with a bed in rough shape, they have it Rhino lined.  They tried a few other brands but Rhino gave them the best price and results.  People who'll buy a used truck seem to know the Rhino name and its a big point for resale -

Just to throw another option into the mix. SpeedLiner has a tensile strength of 4,200 psi and a tear strength of 610 lbs/in compared to 2200 psi. SpeedLiner can be made in any color, even two-tones or graphics and is color stable, and is a non-skid textured surface.

Having said that. I don't think you can go wrong with any of your choices or suggestions.  We don't have a Line-X dealer here, but have three SpeedLiner dealers. Probably so, since they are in Houston, TX. I have seen RhinoLinings, Line-X,  and Herculiner-equipped trucks and they look fine, too.

Don't DO NOT get a permatex liner they are junk and you will be wasting your money they look good new but dis-color quickly and don't plan on using the bedliner to actually protect the truck bed because it won't.  I know this because my 99 Silverado had one and I hated it.  I have a Rhino Liner now and I really like it my dad has a LineX and he likes it a lot.  I do believe that if you use the truck a lot that the LineX will hold up better to abuse that's just my opinion.

Turbo Liner was unveiled at a autoshow last yr and represents the latest in sprayins. Not everyplace has a franchise dealer yet. Still, the urethane (vs Polyurethane) attributes are attractive. A plus is that UV protection is part of the basic coating ~ not an additional charge. ~ odoh

I'm sure that there are several good brands available.  As Shaners observed, the person who applies the product is critical.  I have had two permatex liners and have been well pleased with both.  My trucks are used like trucks and the permatex liners have held up to everything I've literally thrown at them. :idontgetit:

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
