Dually Rear Wheel Liner / Shield

I highly doubt any dealer will have them on hand. They have to come from the regional parts warehouse. Mine took about a week to arrive.
My dealer (or Ram) covered the cost. I didn’t ask too many questions nor did I make a fuss. Just simply asked why they weren’t there, showed them what should’ve been there, and waited patiently. I hope your dealer does the same for you. At worst, I think the panels are $40/$50 a piece.

The dealer had them in two days. Then I gave them the parts # for the screws that you sent me Thank you again. Worst case scenario is I would have to pay cost. I think my salesmen will come through I’ve bought 6 vehicles from him.

No problem, I’m glad you were able to use the info to get them. I guess most of this is a mix of personal preference and also how much your dealer is willing to work with you. I’m very thankful they got the parts and ate the cost. It’s a small detail thing, but I think it’s pretty ridiculous to pay $90k+ and have a truck shipped with parts that are obviously omitted. Either change the wheel liner to make it look complete, or furnish the part that goes in the blank space. It’s like buying a $90,000 jigsaw puzzle with one of the center pieces missing. Literally looks like the panel fell off going down the road

I honestly didn't even notice until this thread...unless you down looking in that area you may never know. I wonder how many people don't realize it's missing.

Lol probably a lot. I noticed it on a dually on the lot 6 weeks before mine came in. I always notice **** like that though. Sometimes I wish I didn’t notice everything because I have a hard time to let things go.
 
Got mine installed today. I forgot to order the push-pins when I ordered the splash shields, but luckly I found some at work that fit.

pull up the window sticker of any Chevy/GMC truck or SUV hitting the lots these days and it’s comical. Removing steering wheel lock, removing the Stop/start function, heated seats and steering wheels that don’t heat now but sometime in the future you have to take it back in and they’ll install a module or something for it to work…and then GM gives a $50 credit. Unreal what is going on in the auto industry

 
I sprayed my "void" today along wit the upper part that is not covered even with that center piece. The dealer was not willing to pay for them since my VIN doesn't show them as coming on the truck.

Looks nice. What did you use? Did you have to protect anything from overspray?

Why are you replacing sheetmetal?

Is that steel? I found the post on Cummins Forum with these links saying that it's the plastic for the wheel tubs to finish the top. I copied the links to her because the mods would get butt hurt if I linked to the Cummins Forum....

Based off the pics and the name of rhe parts I would think they are metal. I could be wrong, but 99% sure those are steel

I'm not going to condone anyone ordering those parts than. But the OP in the Cummins Forum claims that he ordered them and snapped them into his new Ram dually.... but he may be full of fecal matter.

Gonna order those parts for the visual aspect and put some Herculiner in the top exposed area to guard against road chips ($30 on Amazon, have used it in Jeep tubs before. Not LinEx but should be sufficient. And I'll then soak the areas behind the existing liner with Fluid Film because there's still a gap were road salt and slush can get in!

Have you attempted to order them yet? A few members were posting not that long ago that they were back ordered and not available.
 
I have not. But I got a quart of Herculiner on Amazon for $30 and a spray can for $12. I'll do that whole area and spray as far back as I can in the gaps. Then, when those parts are available I'll get them. I may determine I don't really need them!

Also have 8 cans of Fluid Film I'll spray underneath sometime in September. I've never had anything rust under that waxy goo and it bubbles it's way in everywhere. OK, I like the smell, too.....
 
I found that it was hard (after proper prep) to roll the Herculiner, wanted to smear, but a 3" brush worked fine. I emptied the spray can first into the gap areas then had enough to coat the main open area (like a primer) and exposed frame and mounts. After that I put two thick coats of Herculiner about an hour apart and I'm good to go! Put newspaper or towels on the tires to catch drips. I had a drip go right between the tires into a hole on the outside rim! What were the chances? Fortunately I had already ceramic coated them and the drip came right off. Stupid lazy me...):

And do it in your grass, something will drip somewhere. Had a little extra to coat my bolt heads on my center tie downs, too.
