Bought some steps for the truck after I always said I would never get them.. Only reason I did was I can see wear allready on the leather seats from sliding in and out. So I went on the hunt for something strong, and most of all looked good and had a good warranty.

I went with the N-Fab C1173QC.

After figuring out the directions and how they were fairly universal, It was simple to bolt on.

Quality of steps seems great. Theres a little flex when standing on them but thats to be expected when a big guy steps on them, LOL.

II did have to remove the molded mud flaps in front tho. It honestly gave me an excuse to remove them as they always were a collection spot for slush and snow in winter. I havent removed the rear mud flaps yet. I likely will tho because I dont think they look good.

 

Soon enough I will have a set of these up for sale to... Long story but I got a set in with a gouge of paint missing and the supplier made good and didnt want the other set back, So if your in the buffalo / ny area and are interested, let me know.

That's definitely the steps I would get if I ever decided too, just never really liked the other styles.

Look very similar to my Go-Rhino Dominator II's. Huh, it's like they are all made in the same factory, in, oh, lets say China haha

 

But they do look awesome. I was having the same issue, sliding in and off of my leather seats. It doesn't help with a lifted truck either

Those look great, definitely makes it easier getting in and out. It drives me crazy when people slide out of my truck, poor seat is taking a beating from it.

I almost went with the go rhino ll, and was talked out of them by another member saying they werent holding up to weather / rusting and not strong. So i went this route...

 

Here is the 2nd set I have listed.

I've had mine for 5years. No rust and they're plenty strong.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
