Dually Rear Wheel Liner / Shield

Werkerb said:
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.

Did their computer show the part number for a 2022 model year VIN? I watched the guy do it on the screen and when he entered my vin, the diagram below (see pic) showed up, it shows the center section, even gives it a number (#4) but the system would not generate a part number for that part, nor would it allow them to order it. I had to have the guy change the current vehicle to a 2021 model year for it to give a part number. Also tried my old VIN from my 2017 3500 DRW and it again gave a part number. (Same one as the 2021)

I sat with my salesman and watched him order my 2022 Longhorn Lvl 1 and I never saw an option for a center splash screen when we were going through the options. I’d take what that guy said with two grains of salt. Most of these dealers / staff are in the dark with this stuff. You’ll find more help and info here in this forum than you will at a dealer!

My truck is a 2021 Dually and it did not come with the centre sections (picture attached).
When I asked my dealer about about it, they submitted a claim to FCA for the missing pieces.
The claim was approved and the parts were ordered, no charge. I have a great dealer!!!

Just wish they covered the whole wheel well.

I've been sitting in JS - Storage for a few days now, maybe they are looking for my liners! :rolleyes:
 
I spoke to markdodge and a few other dealerships also. The general consensus is the 2022's don't come with them anymore. And their isn't an option to order new trucks with them.
 
Looks very odd without that center liner. I know on the non dually trucks rear fender liners have been an option for Big Horn and below for many years now. Laramie and up have the liners included as a standard item.
 
I agree. The truck looks incomplete with that gap in there. Especially since the other piece of the splash guard still has the holes in it for clips on the center piece they no longer furnish with the truck. I would have happily paid the extra money when I ordered the truck to add a one-piece fender liner that covered all the sheet metal and actually protected the truck. If they wanted to eliminate that section that’s fine, but redesign the panel so that it covers everything. Don’t just throw the old incomplete ones in there and expect that we’ll all just be okay with it. Shelling out just shy of $100,000 for a truck and it should look the part.

While I whole heartedly agreee with you, it looks like other OEM's are doing same. Found multiple threads of DRW GM's missing the entire rear liners for years now.

Has anyone been able to find any aftermarket ones that are full coverage?

Even after you affter the missing piece, there is still an even larger section that remains open on the top. Overall it's just a stupid design.

Really thats silly, honestly would be better off without the liners if dirt and crap can get behind the liner and allow it to start to rust….

If you look close at the pics of the people that have them you can kind of see it. The road grime makes it blend in though, and I didn't notice it at first. The yellow circled part in the pic shows the part that will remain in covered. Easier to see on my truck since it hasnt gotten dirty yet. The main thing rhe add on missing sections do is make it not visible when walking by and looking at it

@Linked4door with the pic you have it looks like a separate part for the top side of the fender liner. The part that @mbarber84 looks like as separate part that will only cover the side of the liner area. I took delivery of of My 2022 DRW on Saturday the 18th and mine are also missing. I want to order them along with the push pins that hold it in place. I need to look at mine (tomorrow when its light outside) to see if mine is also open on the top side of the fender liner area.

A lot of great information in this thread....thanks to the OP (@mbarber84) and all who have posted in it.

It’ll be identical.

I’m waiting for my dealership parts department to call and let me know the correct panels have arrived. I ordered the correct pushpin hardware as well. When it all gets here I’ll update with pics and part numbers.

Sadly the top will be open as well. I actually found quite a few 2021's on YouTube that also had the section missing. Starting to look more and more common
