I am looking to purchase a bull bar for my '09 Silvy but I have a question. What company makes a bull bar where I do not have to take the tow hooks off my front end, and is stainless? I have looked everywhere and so far every bull bar install looks like you have to remove the tow hooks.

Looks like I'm getting the Go Rhino Winch Bumper (Grille Guard Only). Polished Stainless, 9,500lb rating. At least I can have a bull bar/push bar look, and add lights and also have the possibility of a winch down the road. Thanks guys.

The Hildebrandt light bar doesn't need the hooks to be removed, nor does the CARR Light Wings (I think the Hildebrandt is a better fit for our plastic bumper). Not a bull bar though

Has any body seen these?

 

from Go Industries, give the 80 style look, but I can't find any side view to see how far off the bumper these fit.

 

anyone have pics? p/n 37735 for the 1500

keep in mind that most all bars like that even if they retain the factory tow hooks, will block it so you wont hardly be able to get to it.

i have the hildibrandt light bar and love it. the hooks are easily accessible with it installed. It was hard to get the bar though. check out Nfab and the piaa light bars too.

I wasnt to fond of the idea of taking my tow hooks off to put the bull bar on either.. But, i have never used the front tow hooks because i have a towhook installed in my hitch 24/7. And if is much safer to pull from the rear than the front. If I was in desperate need of being pulled out (not likely :thumbs: ) I would be confident in wrapping a strap around the mount from the bull bar. It is extremely solid, and is bolted with Grade 8 bolts. This however i would only do absolute last need.

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
