So, I've got a 2020 3500 Limited DRW, which came with factory wheel liners...except at the top of the wheel house (see pic). My OCD hates that gap. Is there a piece missing or a part available to cover that gap?Wheel Liner Gap.jpg
 
mine is same. i bet someone could 3d print that pretty easy. I find it very annoying as well when scrubbing the liners clean, even with brushes. It would be a pretty easy fiberglass job as well. Tape area. spray with 3M glue, press carpet into glue, then apply fiberglass resin.

Scrubbing wheel well liners? Thats far to thorough for me lol i drive 10 ft they would be dirty again lol
 
Sadly, no.

I realize its silly...but, so is producing like 7/8ths of a wheel well liner.
 
If you have or will soon be taking delivery of a 2022 DRW pickup, you may want to check your truck upon arrival at your dealer.
Several trucks, including mine, have been delivered without the center section of the rear wheel well splash guard installed.
This seems to be a reoccurring problem. I notified my salesman immediately upon seeing this and he ordered the missing pieces through parts.
Those have arrived today and I will update with part numbers and install pictures later today. As of right now, I am unaware as to why these parts were not installed.
Starting this thread so as NOT to convolute or sidetrack the 22 Order thread.
The pictures posted below represent the missing section on my truck (both sides) as well as what information I was able to find online. (I will update with new pics and part numbers after I receive and install)

Both front and back specifically listed on my build sheet so it will be interesting to see if the backs are there whenever it gets delivered!

My salesman called me last night and reaffirmed that they would pursue this issue with FCA. Now we wait and see. Thanks for starting this string.

No worries!
Let us know what information you find.
I’m hopeful the ones sitting at the parts counter for me will fit, and that they’re covered under warranty.

I took the picture and part number to my dealer a couple days ago. The parts guys took quite awhile, and came back saying those center sections are for a dually with 2wd. The aren't for a dually with 4wd. They couldn't explain the difference. So I'm still without them.

Has anyone with a 4wd installed these yet?

I don’t believe they are correct. The part was standard on 2021 trucks and back wether 2WD or 4wd. My 2017 drw 4x4 had them. They’re the same part. They may be looking at the wrong part numbers, or misreading the part descriptor. The set my dealer ordered has arrived. I’ll be picking them up today after work and will post an update with part numbers in this thread once I get them and install them.

I found a 2021 DRW longhorn on auto trader just now. Luckily the dealer took a great picture of the rear dual fender well area. You can clearly see the center section installed, even that oval shaped depression in the center of it, which matches the part I posted initially.

So I just left the dealership. They did indeed order me splash guards, however the ones they ordered are the ones that are already installed on the truck, NOT the small center piece that spans the gap. In speaking to the parts guy, and also observing his parts program while he was flipping through it, the parts catalog shows the center splash guard (#4 on the diagram) but does populate a part number for a 2022 model year VIN. Once he switched it back to a 2021 or prior model year, a part number showed up. Apparently for some reason Ram must’ve made the decision to pull these from the truck equipment starting in 2022. No idea why.

In any case, the correct ones (from a model year 21) truck are ordered and should arrive in 3-4 days. Not sure how this is going to work out in terms of paying for them, but if I need to I’ll buy them myself and install. I see no logical reason why they weren’t included in the truck, especially since they are still being produced and are available. The part number for the splash guard center section is 68061033AA
You will need two of these, one for either side. Additionally you will need four Phillips head expansion screws (I will get part number when I pick them up in a few days) as the lower part of the shield connects to the main splash guard via these screws. The upper part “hooks” into the panel with the pre existing square holes.

I will update again as I get more info, and when I pick up the correct parts.

Needless to say the service and parts guys were completely in the dark about all of this. Seems a shame a to have to deal with hassles like this when you’re spending almost a hundred grand on a pickup truck….welcome to life in 2021 I guess!

Thanks for the update! Bummer that they were sent the wrong sections. When you get the correct part do you mind letting us know the pricing? Thanks!

Will do

The mistake was made on the dealership side when the order was placed, primarily because the only splash guard that the system would let them order was the whole assembly that installs under the fender.

I’ll be curious to see who ends up paying to put 2021 parts on a 2022 truck….me or them

I called a different dealership last week to check the availability of the center section and it was indeed available and the parts tech quoted me around $50 per side not including the hardware. Yikes!

Talked to the dealership about the missing part. According to the GM (so take it with a grain of sand) the center piece is now a stand alone option that now has to be selected but doesn’t show up on the options list. I had to give the the part number before they could even find it. They will be ordering me replacements at their cost. Can’t even guess why Ram would do something as foolish as this but is getting to be no surprise. Once they come in and are installed I will update if they are the correct parts.
 
Thanks for all the info a research everyone. Can't believe they have to be ordered separately, and its even harder to understand why they don't just come as one solid piece. Even with these add on sections, there's still a huge hole on top. I would love to know why they designed them to not be full coverage.
