Your new inner fender covers are a unique accessory designed to fit directly to your trucks fender ridge. In order to enjoy these custom parts it will be necessary to perform some modifications to the battery tray/trays as well as the air filter box.  You will also need to lower the fuse box on the 2006 models

Your inner fender covers come to you with a protective liner. Do not remove liner until installation is complete.

1. Let’s begin with the battery tray. You will notice that there are two bolts mounting the battery tray to the top of the fender. Remove these bolts. NOTE: These will not be reused. The two black plastic battery tray brackets that 90 over the top of the fender will need to be trimmed off the tray. The fastest and easiest way to do this is with a common shop cut off wheel. Simply shave the top of these brackets off so that they are flush with the top of the fender. Your battery tray has many other bolts that will keep it secure without the need for these two brackets. If your truck is equipment with two battery trays repeat this step for the opposite side.

2. The 2006 models fuse box is snapped into a bracket. Using a screw driver release the taps securing the fuse box and allow the entire box to lower just enough to allow the new cover to fit flush to the top of the fender ridge. The fuse bow itself is attached to several heavy harnesses which will cause the fuse box to remain stable even though it is detached.

3. Your trucks air filter box has a long black plastic bracket that extends to the radiator support rail and is bolted there. You will notice that this bracket is very thick leading out to the bolt. Using your cut off wheel shave the bracket so that it appears flush to the part of the bracket that is bolted to the radiator support. This will create a level plane which will allow the new cover to lie nice and flush with the bracket and when done correctly your new cover will completely conceal this modification.

4. Starting with the drivers side remove the front and rear fender bolts (and also the washer fluid cap on the SRT 10.) Carefully place the drivers’ side fender cover down into the engine bay so that the large notch diagonally slides under the master cylinder reservoir. Allow the cover to slip between the upper radiator hose (and over the washer fluid tank neck on the SRT 10.) Line up the two front and rear fender holes and secure the new fender in place using the two large thumb screws provided. The passenger side goes in much the same way except that it will need to be jostled under the air box in order to allow the cover to set in place properly. It may be necessary to manipulate the A/C fill line so that it lines up nicely to the hole provided for it in the new 1500 panel. It is made of aluminum and you will be able to nudge it around to where you need it to be. On the SRT 10 model release the a/c line retainers and force the line down low enough to allow the cover to sit overtop of this a/c line.

5. (Perform this step only if you have our false firewall installed) You have been provided with two Velcro self stick aluminum brackets. These brackets are to be used with our false firewall. Simply indicate the resting position of the new fender cover to the firewall using a length of masking tape. Be sure to mark both ends of the fender cover. Remove the fender cover. Apply a single swipe of adhesive promoter provided just under the tape line. Remove the red release liner from the back of the brackets and place them so that they are about 1 1/8” below the tape line and centered to the left and right marks made earlier of the fender position. Remove the attached Velcro half and apply it to the underside of the fender cover be sure to use a swipe of adhesive promoter before applying this Velcro half. Reinstall covers.

6.  SRT 10 KIT ONLY: You have been provided with a specially shaped chrome washer fluid cap. To install this cap scrub the top of the factory yellow cap with household rubbing alcohol first to remove and dirt and grime. Then swipe the yellow cap once with the adhesive promoter provided. Next you will notice that the cap has a Velcro cookie attached to the underside. Detach the cookie half and apply it to the factory cap. Then simple place the chrome cap onto the Velcro cookie.

7. Remove protective liner.

If any questions occur during installation, please contact American Car Craft at 727 861-1500.     

Note: Care must be taken when cleaning your covers. It is a good idea to lightly dust your covers with a clean soft cloth first in order to prevent any particles from scratching them. Then wipe (using a new clean soft cloth) with a good quality streak free glass cleaner.
