Diesel Dually 12-06-2007, 12:00 AM Nice.
paoutdoorsman 12-06-2007, 09:12 AM Great idea! I didn't know they made these! I wonder if they make these for an 02.
kboring 12-06-2007, 11:58 AM Once dirt and shit gets up in there...its gonna lead to rust..just like those plastic bedliners.
Tom S. 12-06-2007, 12:35 PM While I agree they look nice, they will lead to rust problems.
Line-x is a much better alternative, imho.
hookdOnDmax 12-06-2007, 12:49 PM I wondered about rust too. That's partly why I've postponed screwing them down onto the sheet metal. But then, front wheelhouse liners cover sections of painted metal too, don't they? Does the front sheetmetal suffer by being covered?
Since it never snows here (NorCal coastal), no worries about any road chemicals. They fit very well, and look amazing in daylight ... better than photos ... a vast improvement.
godaddy 12-06-2007, 01:26 PM I really like the way line-x stuff looks on my white truck!
tydawn 12-07-2007, 01:39 AM :D:thankyou2Nice Job !
Thanks for the info --- my dealer just called me to pickup the liners that I ordered.
Your pics are priceless and will be of great help for my install ,looks easy.
Not to concerned about what gets under the liner ,if it is that easy to install why could you not take them off once in a while if there was a problem?? anything is better than the spray on crapy undercoat that the dealer used .
dlewis1340 12-08-2007, 02:37 PM You doubters don't get it. The wheelhouse liners keep tons of debris from flying up into all the nooks and crannies of the rear end.
I sprayed mine with 3m undercoating and then installed wheelhouse liners over the top. Best of both options. Unlike the flat area of the bed the wheelwell and gravity will keep moisture from being a problem.

Hopefully the spray will keep you from having problems. I live in the salt capital of the world, Michigan, and if it can rust - it will rust here.
hookdOnDmax 12-08-2007, 08:53 PM Great hint, dlewis!
Actually, I appreciate the reluctance of the doubters too. I installed the liners 'cause road salt's a non-issue in most of Calif. Still, I'd be a bit worried to drive up to Lake Tahoe for the risk of trapping salt-laden water between the two layers. I think I might remove the liners, apply some spray-on to the under-fenders, then re-insert the liners.
They look great and compartmentalize the bulk of nasty. Installing the liners is a bit oversimplified in my photo-essay, since they're very stiff. They don't easily accept the pushing, shoving and squeezing, so it really is a 15-min process. It'll be that much more difficult with a layer of Line-X, or similar, already coating the sheetmetal. Remember to pull out your heavy leather garden gloves!

Have not installed mine yet ,they should work good,at least they will protect the undercoat that the dealer sprayed on.With the gravel roads we travel on the spray stuff looks good but gets beat up pretty bad in a short while.
I have a set of flaps on it now, will have to remove them as they are in the way and modify a little to reinstall over top
Might take a little more than ordinary garden gloves to tackle this job with the temp.today of -12F
thanks again for the info
ABQFirefighter 12-09-2007, 12:24 AM How about some part numbers?
tydawn 12-09-2007, 06:37 PM I found the part # in a thread somewhere here. I had written down but I can't find it.
Tomorrow after I pick mine up from the dealer I will post the part #.
hookdOnDmax 12-09-2007, 08:31 PM 19166677 Liner 5.871 (a pair of rear wheelhouse liners) @ $99.00
My local Stealer called it a "special order" needing to be prepaid.
BradS 12-10-2007, 04:51 AM Is this only for the NNBS or do they have these for the 99-07s?
GARTHGMC 12-14-2007, 09:55 PM So these liners are in addition to the ones already there?
I asked the dealer when I purchased mine about undercoat. They said they dont do it anymore, causes rust. ( I dont know but my 94 chevy pickup looks good everywhere except where I knocked the paint off as far as rust is concerned) anywho, he said something about plastic and they were guaranteed for 100,000 against rust. I am no rocket scientist but when I knocked on the rear wheel wells it sure sounded like metal to me. Did gm leave these plastic liners off my truck for some mysterious reason?

The rust warranty is on rust through - not surface rust.
The trucks have wheel well liners in the front only. The liners discussed in this thread are not provided on the truck and have to ordered separately.
GARTHGMC 12-17-2007, 07:34 PM Okay sorry , not understanding totally here.
So everyone is ordering the rears only? Or are they covering the fronts with an additional liner?
Thanks
GARTHGMC 12-17-2007, 07:40 PM I think that I am starting to get a little pissed off here.
50 grand and they come up with some **** and bull story about they are covered for rust? What gives, I think I am going to line-x the crap out of that truck.

Garth, the pix attached to my original post illustrate rear liners.
I guess I should have included that word in the title.
Greatbear 12-18-2007, 12:25 PM I've not had a chance yet to install mine, they are still sitting in the garage awaiting my attention. I want to clean the fenderwell areas thoroughly before installing them.
Montana Mike 12-18-2007, 01:36 PM Thanks Guys, the Liners look Great!:cool:That is why I like the Diesel Place so much good info.:thumb: Mike
tydawn 12-24-2007, 11:21 AM Just got my liners installed a few days ago ,they fit good, easy to install.
I took some good pics but have trouble posting them , can email if any one is interested
Carver1 01-23-2008, 10:05 PM will these fit on a new dually?
