I removed the mud flaps today as well as the lower front valance... maybe the steps and bed rails later (havn't decided yet due to my boys use the steps to get in). Also when I removed the mud gaurds... there was junk behind them which messed up the finish a bit (just FYI).

Looks sharp! I'd ditch the step bars myself, I'm not crazy about the look on stock height trucks. Do the crew cabs have assist handles inside? If so, just teach your boys to jump and reach for that! :rolleyes:

Looks great!

 

Did you have any marks on your truck from the mudflaps rubbing against the body?

 

Yes... I still need to buff them out.

Thanks for the compliments... the tire size is 305x55x20... with a slight lift... I'm also looking at installing a 1-2" BLift as well.

Your rig is looking really sharp. Those are nice stepbars, I think I'd keep them. I hope to run the same tire size on my factory 20s one day. :)

Thanks for the info on the crap behind the splash guards. I put mine on a few years ago, and learned about the plastic film you can put on underneath the flap AFTER I installed them. I am concerned about rust, so I always blow out behind them with the air compressor. I don’t know if that helps or not. Thanks again for the info, and good luck with your truck it looks sharp.

Thanks guys... As far as the mud-flaps goes; I won't be reinstalling them. There were fine scratches on the paint and rust pit marks. Of coarse nothing major and they will come off... but if you don't notice until down the road a few years, then it would be bad. I don't ever drive on dirt roads so I'm not worrying about extra rock chips from them being off. JMO and FYI...

 

Thanks,

Anthony

Truck looks good, the debadging looks great. I removed the valance back in 2007, but then I ended up putting back on. I like the look with the lower valance on, but when I drop it I'm probably going to be forced to take it off or it will come off on its on.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
