This fender is very similar to Tahoe, Sierra, Escalade, and Yukon trucks and SUVs.
These are not your typical fenders, they have an inner fender. What's that?! The fender is not just a panel like most vehicles, but rather has a long inner shelf that extends into the engine bay where other components are bolted to the fender. Yes, It can be a pain but we're here to help.

You're only dealing with bolts, so knowing what to take off is key. This video is rather long but we shortened it as much as we could. For the right-passenger side fender, the battery, coolant reservoir, and air intake sit on top of the inner fender or fender shelf. Once these items are removed, you can take off the steel plates they sit on-off.
After this step, the only thing attached to the fender should be the hood hinge, fender liner, and headlight. The headlight and fender liner is pretty standard when changing a fender. GMC-Chevy decided to create the fender so large that the hood hinge has to bolt onto the fender. This is not typical for most vehicles. You have to prop the hood up to remove the hood hinge bolt.
Finally, remove all the bolts holding the fender to the frame, and you are almost done. Now, you have to transfer any hardware from the old fender to the new and work your way backward to install the new fender.

I appreciate this. Had a tree fall on my truck damaging both front fenders, hood, and grill. This will get me started. Luckily I was able to source decent used parts from same model and color truck.
Aw man, sorry to hear this. Hope all is good. Are you in Florida? During the last storm and hurricane that hit Houston, we were lucky to not have the tree in front of our house fall over, but my neighbor was unfortunate and had his car hit too. Luckily nobody was hurt though!
@@ReveMoto , I was camping at a State Park in Tennessee. Tree snapped off 30 feet in the air. Another tree kept it from crushing the entire truck. It was like a bomb going off ! I think I’ll be camping in open fields for a while.
Yooo. I love y’all’s videos. Thank you guys for this one. My 2013 has a dent on the right side and I’m planning on fixing it when My fall semester is over. Thank you guys for the video
That's why we're here. Don't hesitate to ask us questions. Chevy (GM) likes to over-engineer these fenders, it has a lot of steps. You don't have to remove the fender liner right away like we did. You can unscrew it from the bumper and detach the fender. This way, you don't have the tire in your way. Good luck!
Thanks for the video. Followed it step by step for a successful fender replacement
Glad it helped and thank you for watching. Please subscribe it really helps us out!
Nice video!
My '12 3500hd is pretty well identical to this and you prepped me for what was coming. Thanks!
Hello. Yes, the fenders should be the same. I recommend leaving the fender linger attached when removing the fender. We didn't do that and it's much easier to remove the fender liner when the whole fender is off. Glad we could help and please subscribe, it helps us a ton!
Thank you! I was able to change it all by my self! Very helpful!!
We love to hear it!
Thanks for this video. I recently purchased a used 2007 Silverado and it looks like the right fender was a demonstration of 'how not to do bodywork'. Thankfully, my truck is white, so with all of the fleet/maintenance trucks on the road I hope to have an assortment of parts for a long time to come. The local u-pull-it yard has a truck on their lot with an untouched white fender for all of $40...just wanted to know what I'm getting myself into before heading out to the salvage yard.
That is a great find and score on the price. These fenders brand new are not cheap, so congrats! GMC really likes to over do it on the engineering. You don't have to take the fender liner off like we did. You can just detach it from the bumper and pull it off with the fender. Might be easier taking it off that way instead of having to maneuver around the tire. Good luck!
Wow, to remove a fender u need take half of the front apart lol, man thank you for the video, I was about to belt all the spot welds 😅😅😅
Lol you got that right. Takes a bit of time but if you have a power tool, it'll probably cut the time a bit. We took the basic tool route here in case not everyone has a power tool at home
Your instructions are so well made, that I, a complete novice was able to follow them for my 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD WT. Thank you so much for putting this up!
EDIT: I forgot to say, those time stamps were the best.
Thank you so much! That was our first time working on that truck and it sure was a pain, lol. We're glad we could be of help. Take care.
Nice that will save me some money. Got some typical rust belt rot in the passenger side on my 09 that looks like a more permanent fix with about the same about of work as these, fix rust for cheap and easy tips!
Hello. Fixing rust can be tedious, scraping off all the rust from the part down to the bare metal. Thanks for the idea.
Thank ya...f'd up my right side working. This gonna save lotsa $$!!
Thank you! That's exactly why we make these videos, so folks can save $$. Because this fender is huge and has a shelf. It's probably easier to take off the fender liner once the fender is removed. Just another way to do it. Good luck.
Dude ain't got any tread left, no wonder he crashed
Haha, you aren't lying. If I recall correctly, someone smashed into him but he desperately 😂 needed new tires.

Great work. Thank you for the step by step.
No problem brother, appreciate you watching! If you need the fender replacement, we sell it at revemoto.com
Thanks to this video i able to do my fender like honestly if can send tip i would like tooo
Thank you! We're here to help no tips necessary.
Thanks for the video, very helpful. My 2011 Tahoe bumper looks different from this, single piece covering grille as well. 1. Is removing such bumper fully and grille essential for fender removal or just loosening at passenger end enough? 2) is removing fender liner completely removing essential, can I just remove those connected to fender alone removed?
Hello! Great questions. This was our first time working on a GMC and we thought removing everything would be best for the video. You can can just loosen the bumper to reach behind it as well as just disconnecting the fender liner from the bumper and remove it with the fender. I would say yes to both questions.
@@ReveMoto Thanks!
Hello nice video. So I'm assuming driver side is simpler since there's not much obstruction correct?
Hello. Each side is equally frustrating but the driver side does have less to remove. In that sense, it is a bit easier. Let us know if you have questions and thank you for watching!
Hey buddy use an impact with a universal and the same extensions. Much quicker. Great video though
Thanks for the tip and you're 100% correct. I think our tech doesn't charge the battery most of the time 😅. Thank you for watching!
Damn, just gonna pay someone to do it lol. What’s the standard rate price on replacing just one front fender on a 09 silverado
LOL, We felt like that sometimes through the install. It was our first time but it really isn't that bad, especially if you have a friend helping you out. Most shops charge 60+ an hour and this fender will probably be a minimum 3-4 hour job.
What if you just want to adjust the fender to align the hood better? Can you do that without removing everthing?
Yes, you technically can. If you are fixing a spacing issue. You just need to loosen the bolts to get the correct spacing. I would try the hood bolts first, since it's only 2 bolts. If in fact you know it's the fender, just loosen the bolts nearest the spacing issue. You would have to remove the headlight though if it is towards the front. Good luck!
I have a question does a factory bought fender come with the plastic brackets ? I hit a deer, and well is not looking good.
Hi Alex, no it doesn't come with the plastic brackets, but you can also purchase that separately to replace your broken bracket when you replace the fender. Then, for the clips and push pins, you can purchase those in a packet at a local auto store or buy them individually at the dealership. I've driven to Austin so I know the hit the deer feeling - good luck!
Great video BUT you need to get some power tools bro , it would be so much faster
LoL, you're 1000% correct. We have an impact gun, which we probably should use more often. We've used it in some videos but our tech is old and is used to socket wrenches 😅. Also, we think most people will have a socket set or at least be able to buy a cheap one.
Same thing I have to do on my 08 Silverado but change both fenders
You can do it! It can be a lot since they attached everything to those fender shelves. We recommend leaving the fender liners on and just detaching them from the bottom frame. It's much easier to remove when you take the whole fender off. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the input man appreciate it !!
At 13:31, my truck was missing the fender brace. Now I have the brace from online, but I can't find the 4 bolts' part number or size? Does anyone have any ideas?
If recall correctly, the bolts are a size 12. You can take a photo and just buy them at the dealership. They have diagrams and the bolts should be $1-2 a piece. You can also compare a similar bolt at your local hardware store. We hope this helps!
You don’t have to do all the extra work just to remove the fender itself I’m assuming, right? I’m just not wanting to remove everything if I can just loosen a few bolts & screws and pop it right off to save on Time. The way you guys done, removing piece by piece, it all just looks VERY time consuming and I’d hate to go through all of that work if I don’t necessarily have to.
Just wondering what your guys’s thoughts are on what I’m asking?
We hear you, trust us. This was our first GMC truck fender replacement. GMC made most of their trucks and SUVs this way. We wish they didn't. The battery, intake box, etc. sits on the fender shelf. So, they have to be removed. You also have to take off the headlight bc there are bolts behind it that secure the fender to the frame. You probably do not have to remove the end cap. Our customer had his damaged in the accident and it was pushed up and pinched the headlight. You can also keep the fender liner on. It's easier to take off when you remove the whole fender. The Escalade, Sierra, etc are similar with just more unnecessary bolts. I hope this helps, good luck!
can you do a video on how to install a passenger side fender on a 2018 chevy malibu cant seem to find any online
Absolutely. The hard part is finding someone with a Malibu who will let us film the installation. Just by looking at the fender, you may have to take the headlight off. You'll have to remove the plastic wheel cover, the bolts near the hood corner (where the windshield meets), a couple on the engine bay frame, one underneath the rocker panel and 1-2 two behind, or near the headlight. I hope this helps!
ReveMoto - Pre-Painted Auto Body Parts yes it does thanks i took a screenshot of the reply just now as a reference so once i get the painted fender ill use this as a guide to where the bolts are
@@SuperMario91- Sounds great! Try popping off the bumper where it meets fender, there will be some bolts there to remove from the fender. You may not have to take the headlight off.
ReveMoto - Pre-Painted Auto Body Parts okay i will do that once i get the fender ordered
Thanks for you time to do this video help me a lot I did good to seya
The headlights have one large plug, you don't have to remove the harness at each bulb.
Yes, you are right but I don't think we realized it until we put the new light in towards the end of the video. Thanks!
@@ReveMoto nff
Is it the same with a 2013 GMC Sierra
Very similar! GMC made all their SUV's similar but the higher end the car, the more bolts it may have. The process for this fender compared to the Escalade was nearly identical but the Escalade have more bolts in the same locations and the grille had to be removed. More or less, its should very similar. Thanks for watching!
Battery powered impact could cut the time of this job practically in half. Rip all those bolts right out then use ratchet for assembly.
That is fact! Sometimes we use it and sometimes we don't. We probably should utilize a lot more than we do. Thank you for watching.
It says 2014 on the video even though it’s a different model is it still the same?
There are a couple models that have a different range but the fender didn't change much. They changed around the headlight or the body line but the fender itself is the same design. It should be the same, they all have a big shelf. Thanks for watching!
How much does labor usually cost to replace a door on a truck like that?
The labor is a lot but it depends on the damage. Typically doors get repaired and have to be blended and that can get very expensive. A full replacement would still require a lot of labor, paint and blending. Either way you go, probably over $1000. The more affordable route is the repair.
@@ReveMoto I ordered a fender from LMC Truck under $200, not to shabby but it still has to be installed and painted summit white.
Any difference between driver side?
Not much only the battery is the difference. If you need parts go to www.ReveMoto.com
Drivin in traffic with a system and someone gotta go harder than you
Now I see that I can do it. Time. Time. All it takes is time....and wrenches, screwdrivers and a couple other simple tools. I am an impatient person so it will be a challenge for me. Just the removal of every single bolt, screw will drive me nuts. I want it done NOW, not in hours later !! Anywho, I will get er" done.A body shop OR me, it's the same process. Maybe an electric drill/ratchet will speed it up ? Good video guys, gals, to all involved !
Hey Martin. Yes, this particular truck or any truck made by GMC has a ton of bolts/screws. It was frustrating, you don't see it on camera but it took a lot patience. And, yes, an electric drill with the right attachment would speed up the process a lot. Good luck, and keep at it!
i had bought one, and where the screws for the inner fender go, there is nothing to screw into? Theres just a hole. What do i do?
The smaller bolts run along the edge of the fender. There are these smaller silver clips snap in the holes that have threads for the screws to get in place. I think the footage was bad for this silverado, but if you check out our Escalade video, its very similar. I'll link it below. If you are referring to the inside portion, I think those were plastic pins you snap on and not screws.
th-cam.com/video/xx9mYEA3ULI/w-d-xo.html minute 1:32. Let me know if this helps, you can always email us photos so we can help you out. sales@revemoto.com
@@ReveMoto where do I get those small silver clip ins for the threads? I have nothing to screw into. Thanks
@@mjfdiecast1303 They should have been on your old fender. If not, they are called U-nut clips and are probably a few dollars at your local Chevy. You can also find them online but I would go OEM on the small stuff like bots and clips because they are usually very affordable.
@@ReveMoto alright thanks. I took the old fender off and didnt even check before I got rid of it. Thanks
@@mjfdiecast1303 We've done the same thing. That's how we know, haha. Good luck!
Anyone know if this is the same process for a 2015 2500hd??
Hello! It should be very similar, the models didn't change much. Thank you for watching!
@@ReveMoto do you know if it gets you to the wires on the a post
Not to sure what you mean. The only wires should be the for the headlight and fog lights. Let me know what I am missing.
I'm working on a 2011 3500 right now and it's COMPLETELY different...
Hello! I know the fenders are the same part but I think you may have a different intake system and radiator cover. Please let me know if we're wrong. We haven't worked on on a 3500HD. Cheers!
Well the front end is completely different by the looks of it.
@@ReveMoto I work in a diesel shop and we had 2 of them come in with rusted out fenders...I usually work on dodges but haven't had any coming in, and the ford's all are waiting for parts so we started on the chevys that DON'T need head gaskets XD but anyways, the bumpers look different the headlight assemblies are different and the curve of the fenders look different...I could be wrong on the curve, it is on a video vs real life in front of me....but that's how it LOOKS
You would think he would at least clean up parts I was putting back on . I would repaint them myself.
Sorry I am not following. Can you explain more!
Will 2500 07 fit a 1500 07 ?
No, the 2007 Silverado is different for the 1500 and 2500. The inner shelves may be the same but the hood and headlights would be different. I hope this helps, thank you for the question.
ReveMoto - Pre-Painted Auto Body Parts Wrong I just used a 08 1500 fender on my 10’ 2500hd it was exactly the same
Josue Ramirez yes
@@mpaxton6686 Thanks for the update. I guess I have to go back and look at these part numbers again. GMC really made one fender for all their trucks.
Why are no power tools used ?
Trying to show that the every day person who don’t own power tool can do this job
You showed just ONE clip holding the grill on at the bottom, and you freed it by pushing with a screwdriver. That was very misleading. There are six clips, and you need to squeeze each one with a pair of pliers to get them to let go. This is one of the most difficult parts of the whole job.
Hello Bob. I believe the clips came off pretty easy except for the bottom ones. It was our first time working on the Silverado, so we removed first then showed it afterwards. Also, the video is quite long so we didn't feel it was necessary to show all 6 prong being pushed in for removal. Thank you for watching!
That wasn't an intake manifold
Yeah, it's an air filter box. We didn't realize it until the video was already up. Thanks for the clarification!
@@ReveMoto is definitely a good video though!
@@charlesjuett7445 Thank you. You can tell we're not mechanics, lol.
@@ReveMoto me either 😜🤪
Video way to long
We recorded the entire thing in case anyone only needed to see/understand certain parts of the install. Hope it helped at least!
@@ReveMoto
Thanks for videoing most all of it. Not everything can be shown in short videos.
God bless you!
@@michaelboyle1983 Appreciate you watching and glad you enjoyed it! If you need this fender painted, you can get it with us at revemoto.com
