Who manufacturers NBS rear wheel molded splash gaurds that do not require drilling the fenders? Just ordered some Husky's and they require drilling.....considering returning them. Please list manufacturer and part number if you have found drilless rear wheel molded splash gaurds that you are happy with.

 

Thanks,

Welcome.

 

I have the Husky contoured on my GMT900. Fit nicely.

 

If you don't like those, go visit Mr. Goodwrench.

Did your husky gaurds require drilling? If so, do you have the part number handy

Husky Liners conoured 2007-2008 new body style. Part numbers 56801 and 57801 @ $24.95 a pair.

 

 

I had the dealer install them before I picked up new truck. Don't know if they drilled or not. But these do have the tape that all mentioned in previous posts. Some other brands will rub/chip paint without the tape. At least that is what others have stated. I went with the Husky and the tape that comes in box. Look great.

These are the same part numbers I have ordered and require drilling. I would prefer to not drill if possible. Has anyone else found drilless rear molded splash gaurds?

welcome to the forum, most splash guards either utilize double sided tape or use the existing holes in the arch of the fender well, I have never seen a guard having to be drilled in person, but I have heard of them.....

The NBS trucks do not have any exsisting holes in the arch of the rear fender well, therefore the fenders require drilling to match up with the holes on the splash gaurds. I thought I remembered hearing that someone manufactured splash gaurds that used tabs or clips and did not require any modification to the rear fenders.

I can understand the desire to keep a new vehicle pristeen as long as possible, I'm still waiting for my first parking lot door ding, but GM screws things to these trucks all over the place. You could dip your screws in RTV, tar or some corrosion inhibitor if you are worried about rust getting a foot hold.

Funny how one interprets a post. I thought he didn't have access to a drill. I never thought of the rust part.

 

Rust. I have mud flaps on my 1990 Chevrolet 1500 and they have been on since new. I replace the mud flaps ever couple of years as they get all dirty/fading. I buy same brand of mud guards and use same holes each time. I use the old mud flads as a template. There is no rust at any of the holes on my 1990 Chevrolet 1500 after all these years.

The GM molded flaps for the 2007+ trucks install in the front without drilling but need to be drilled in the rear. GM supplies wax-coated screws to help fight corrosion. I wouldn't lose any sleep over a few holes.

I just installed the husky's. You can do the fronts with the tire on, for the rears you are going to need to remove the tire/wheel to get in with a drill, unless you have a 90° setup. If you are rolling with the factory 20s bulk up as the wheel/tire combo weighs 82lbs. :rolleyes: Don't forget the torque for the lugs is 140ft-lbs. Also husky sends the 3M clear material precut, easy install. I let the 3M stuff dry over night.

 

Here are the 4 spots where it gets drilled on the rear.

On the front you only have to drill one hole.

Nice install Bryan. I was considering the GM flaps, but the Husky's look good enough. Do those u-clip type nuts come with the kit?

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
