I recently bought a 2005 GMC Crew Cab (White). God I love trucks. However My wife has issues getting into the truck due to her short stature and back problems. Can anyone suggest a Good Nerf bar for my Truck. Can I install these or does a Dealer/Mechanic have to do it? Any suggestions would be welcomed.

GMC 4 me, after much searching on the net I just installed a set of Nasta Black Stainless nerfs on my 2010 2500 HD. I live in NY so stainless is a must and I like the black powdercoat finish on them. Install was very easy about an hour and they like most nerfs bolt right up to the trucks existing cab bolts, very easy overall. I purchased my Nasta's from runningboardwarehouse.com they were the best price I could find and I had product in hand in less then a week from placing the order.

stainlessnerfbars.com is the place to buy. You can use the factory bolts to attach the brackets to the frame and the rest is easy. I had black but just installed stainless to go with my new chrome wheels and new door handles (white bezel with chrome handles).

I wanted the Nasta nerf bars for $259 since they showed to be in stock on the website but after placing the order they showed to be on backorder so I called to inquire and they offered to sell me the Steelcraft selling for $259 at the smae price or $20 off the all stainless Nasta bars selling for ~$299. The no name ones in stainless selling for $209 are the same as the Steelcraft's selling for $259, they have to pay them $50 for using their name on the product description. They've been ok for ths short time I've had them. That's what shows on my truck now. If I had to do it over, I'd get the all stainless Nasta bars just so there would be no corrosion in the future with the stainless brackets.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?
