Dually Rear Wheel Liner / Shield

Wow that looks terrible.
I should expand on my post so I don’t start a flame war, the application with a brush looks terrible, very uneven and almost looks sand finish-ish. Air (schutz gun) probably would of been a better application choice.
 
You aren't wrong! Herculiner usually is and let's be honest....it's a wheel well and I use this stuff once every 10 years on something. I'm done with $40. Now I'll have to get those plastic pieces so you can't see it without sticking your head in there...hehehe. But 10 -20 years from now I'll be saying, "man that looks good". Now for 8 cans of Fluid Film. I've had cars 15 years later look brand new underneath. For the minimal cost it's worth an hour sniffing the sweet fumes.
 
Fluid film is not bad, but messy if you have to work on anything. Also it never hardens so is susceptible to wash away. A one and done waxy product like noxudol or even CRC 6026 is a much better choice.


 
I'm sure there's many good products. At my age, I'll stick with what has worked for me for decades. I still use Break Free CLP on my many guns ('ex' Marine here...). There's always a better product but I may not have 10-20 more years to let time prove it out and manufacturer claims be nothing IMVHO. Time is the only proof for some stuff.

I like how it bubbles into areas between the metal, and that doesn't wash away. Every couple years I'll look at where the salt spray is and after driving through a few good spring rains I'll touch those areas up with one can in my yard - though I've never had an area wash away where my finger didn't come off waxy. As far as our last two cars there's so much plastic under those now I usually only end up using half a can and hit them up about every 5 years. To be honest most of the areas are just fine with the factory corrosion inhibitors. For me the extra thick Herculiner application in that wheel well and that side of the frame is to keep rocks from chipping through that.

Did I mention I like the smell? It's all good.
 
Right on brother anything is better than nothing.
 
I found this link showing the right splash shield. Number 1 is the part everyone is ordering 68061033AA. Number 5 looks like the top part we need but I can't find a part number. What do you all think.

I picked up my new 24 DRW from Mark CDJR couple of weeks ago. Just noticed the rear wheel liners are missing the center section. Is this normal? I've never noticed before. I did not see anything on the
MOPAR Parts site. Dont have access to any others right now to compare.

Thanks

They save 17 cents a truck. It adds up. LOL. If they can save a few cents, they will. Doesn't mean you get the truck for 17 cents less however. I find that penny pinching stuff on a 100K dollar truck disgusting.
 
Looks like a perfect trap for mud and debris, which of course leads to corrosion. I will keep an eye on this. I will probably coat the unfinished area with some Raptor liner or similar. If anyone has a part number for the center sections please share. I couldn't find it.

Get your rig undercoated at line x to protect it...you guys know that if you get your vehicle coated at line x with less than 1k miles you get a lifetime metal corrosion warranty that'll pay $2500 per rust spot right? Worth the $500 to get it done....
 
68061033AA Check out the thread here. 22 dually missing splash guards.
Thanks, G. Searched before and didn't see anything. Good info. I am surprised someone with a 3D printer hasn't started manufacturing these. Look very simple.
 
Pretty proud of that little piece of plastic. Even with them installed, there is still a big area on top of the wheel well that is open. Makes no sense. Shoddy design.
