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.

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

      Turning radius

      By newdude · Posted

      "Increase"?   You want to "increase" your turning radius?     What is your truck?  What kind of cab and bed do you have currently?  Is it stock?  Modified?  Lifted?

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By newdude · Posted

      OP's quote is parts and labor.  Not just parts.     The # you found isn't the right one.  But besides that, the right # is the same price within a couple bucks.  $5802.01.    Now, factor in labor and fluids.  Book time is 17.1 hours for a Colorado 8 speed.  At $200/hr for a dealer average rate, its $3420 just in labor.  We are already at $9222.  Fluid and other necessary items, there's your $400-500 more.      Also.  Your "discounted" transmission.  Which is 99% likely quoted off of GM Parts Direct as that's the MSRP I found on their site.    You failed to note the $597 in shipping charges.  So we are right back almost to MSRP.  $5794.  Oh.  AND, you better have the $4000 for the core charge which you'd have to pay and get refunded, AND you gotta pay to SHIP THE CORE BACK.    So now you'd have paid MORE to buy that one online yourself, even after you get your core refunded.

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.
