I picked up a set of the 5" raptor magnums I have never installed nerf bars on a truck before. Anyone put these on their '14 yet? they are rocker mount FWIW.

 

I tried searching the forum with no luck so any tips for a smooth install?

 

Thanks!

I installed Amp Research Power Steps on my GMT900 recently and will never own another truck without them.

are 3" nerf bars too small for my 2014 Silverado tungsten double-cab (2LZ w/ 20" chrome wheels)? or would 4" bars work better? going with Innovation Creations wheel-to-wheel, stainless steel for sure, just can't decide on size ... thanks!

There are so many nice step bars on the market for different prices. I had the 3" nerf bars on my 2002 Silverado and they worked fine. On my 2008 I got the 4" nerf bars and liked the look better. I just saw them at the dealers on the 2014 Silverado and 2014 Toyota Tundra with the 3" nerf bars and it was okay. I personally like the looks of the 4" but that is just a matter of choice. Just looks a little bit more beefer.

Can you show a full side view to see how discreet they look? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD

 

Here is the side view of my truck with the Bestop Powerboard NX. You can barely see them to be honest. They look a bit red in the picture because of the lighting/reflection.

Yeah thanks, saw them. I should have been more explicit, am interested to see some close ups of the fitment. As well a full side profile when they are closed as well as down. Want some, and will likely do them with the optional stainless trim pieces to line up/compliment the side chrome moldings on my '14 Sierrra.

Did you have to put spacers to get them even? The back of my powerboards are right up against the bottom of the truck, but the front is down maybe a 1/2 inch. Hard to see but annoys me regardless.

Can someone provide instructions for the 6" rectangular running boards for the crew cabs? Mine did not come with any instructions. Thanks! Feel free to PM me instead.

Found a steal on some N-Fab Wheel-to-Wheel steps on craigslist brand new for $150. They were for a CCLB so I just cut the end off even with the factory rear mud flap and you'd never be able to tell

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
