Received my N-Fab Cab Lengths today and installed them. Took about an hour with my son helping me. Before, after and close up pics.

 

 

 

Love mine, but since getting Weston Wheel to Wheel steps on my 98 I had to also go for the bed access for this one. Mine are powdercoated though and so far the steps have held up great when I've banged them on a concrete curb, different one on each one. Of course it scrapped up the powdercoat but didn't hurt the bars at all. They're also much sturdier than the Weston 3" tube once I had on my 98. My 400 lb friend can attest to that lol.

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

Looks Good!! Those are exactly what I was going to get before I saw the GoRhino RB10's..

Thanks, Thrasher I really like the look of them. I looked at the RB10's too but I wanted something a little lower profile to the truck.

I plan on keeping the topper on so bed access wasn't as important to me. The finish and the construction on them seem really durable.

Has anyone on here put on the Dee Zee NXT. About to pull the trigger on a Denali and think these would look good matching the chrome on the truck. I really don't like the metal bleacher seats they call running boards that come stock on the truck.

I'm on the fence between a set of all black Dee Zee nxt or waiting 2 months on the Go Rhino rb10 the only thing about the Dee Zee nxt is I read it might require drilling and I really don't want to drill anything.

Yeah, I'm with you. I love the style/design of both. Just thinking the RB10 or all black on the Dee Zee NXT might be a little rugged/Raptor'ish with all the chrome on the Denali.

 

Wow, just looked again and didn't realize you had to buy the mounting brackets separately.

I'm ordering the N-Fab wheel to wheel, 2 step, nerf bars soon.

 

The website I'm looking at says the shortest bed style is 5ft 9.2 in. I thought the short boxes were 5ft 8in?

 

Also, what's the difference between black powder coated and textured black? The textured black is a special order and the website says it's a 4-6 week wait. They are both the same price.

 

Thanks.

The black powdercoat is a glossy black finish and the textured is a matte rough finish. Not quite bedliner rough, but like textured walls rough. I have the textured finish and I. An tell you that you might want to be prepared to wait longer than 4 to 6 weeks. Mine took 8.

We'll I got the Dee Zee nxt running boards installed, had some pics to post but am unable to for some reason on my iPad. They look good. They're not all that low profile as they appear in the pics on the website but they will do.

Wish I could figure out how to post these pics..

Nice low profile look. The go good with the truck. Is it easy to step on upon exiting the truck? That's why I like the Amps. They are very functional and usable. I usually step over the normal steps.

Yes they feel good stepping on them getting in and out

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
