Wow - what a great resource. After two hours of reading everything that there is to know about nerf bars - I just ordered the Raptor Magnum 5" Ovals for my Sierra Crew Cab. Thanks all.

 

You will be pleased!

Got my ICI Magnum RT steps in today (unexpectedly) and happened to be on my RDO (regular day off), so they were installed.

Got 'em on! Easy install, love the look - though mine didn't come with four braces as I've seen some have?

Can anyone post up a few pics of the 4″ iBoard Aluminum Black http://www.iboardauto.com/on a 14-15 Silverado Crew Cab? I can find a few pics but i cant find one that show a side shot of the truck. I'd like to see how low they hang down from the rocker (gap).

Has anyone used Trail FX boards? They seem to be the only ones I can find that have wheel to wheel, with 3 steps for the Sierra Crew Cab short box.

There are also these on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/TYGER-5-WTW-Side-Step-Bars-07-13-Silverado-Sierra-1500-Crew-Cab-5-5-Short-Bed-/331153117446?fits=Model%3ASilverado+1500&hash=item4d1a439106&vxp=mtr

 

No experience with them or the manufacture, just pointing out an option.

TrailFX is a "house brand" for Keystone Automotive which is a very large accessory wholesaler. I believe that most (if not all) of the TrailFX products are rebranded. You will need to find a retail accessory dealer that can buy from Keystone.

The same on-line place selling the tonneau above has them. Thinking this is a good choice for me.

    • Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks
    • My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.
    • I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing. 
    • get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.
    • This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
