The NBS 900 series trucks have flared fenders, but the detachable plastic body color flares are gone. Are these even optional on the NBS 07 and later? Personally, I prefer the plastic fender flares on my '06 Z71 because they are replaceable if they get damaged. Replacing a damaged fender/bed side is a lot more expensive and tedious.

I've seen only one GMT 900 with fender flares on a Silverado 1500 4x4 crew cab truck my cousin's husband bought new this past spring. I'm still not convinced that it left the factory with 'em on.

 

Honestly, I thought they looked a bit goofy with the stock wheels and tires. The 800 series trucks however look great with flares, especially painted ones.

I think that the flares were eliminated on the 900 series by flaring out the fenders themselves. Another cost cutting move I suppose. :rolleyes:

 

I agree that the painted factory fender flares gave the truck a nice custom touch. It somehow looks cheap without them, especially the 4X4 ones.

He might have bought it that way,but it didn't leave the factory with'em on.

The dealer might have added them.

That's what I thought -- he tried to argue that one with me. The flares were regular black unpainted ones on a Silverbirch Metallic with LS trim.

I would like to see pictures of that truck.

 

Also I have an 2001 Z71, what is the part number for the painted flares for my truck? I'd love to have them on my truck.

Well bushwaker makes them for sure.... Pretty sick too. I wish they would put pictures with regular cabs so i could see what my new truck would look like! BTW this is my first real post. 2007 5.3L 4x4 with Z71 Victory Red - i'll have pics soon.

 

Anyways here's some of bushwacker's pics.

I saw a Victory Red NBS CC tonight with the flares on it. I think it was jacked-up like photo 2 and 3, but it had the flares from the last / bottom photo (with what looked like rivets). It's not something *I* would probably do, but they looked alright... Definitely a different look.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?
