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

I just added the N-Fab RKR rails with removable steps. They are the tightest ive found so far with the added bonus of being able to remove the steps whenever you need to.20190228_200119-3024x2268.thumb.jpg.9c52ecb86bbbec71898a663ec76170c3.jpg20190228_203249-3024x2268.thumb.jpg.fe1ab8f7306085771c8f89dd97998254.jpg20190301_095149.thumb.jpg.0c3c70cfc2f3c5b702814b9efdb57ccb.jpg

Those look great. I wish they had something like that for a regular cab. We have so few choices.

This is what I've been looking for, I had originally looked at the Lund Rock Rail Guards because I didn't think I wanted steps and just wanted the protection from the tires throwing rocks, and on the trail.  Having the removable step option is great.

 

How functional are the steps?  They look really close to the cab/rockers.  Looks like they would work getting in the truck, but not as well trying to get out of the truck?  I found the stock running boards to be kind of useless for getting out of the truck and would often slide right off them, getting salt/dirt all up the back of my legs.

Getting in is great. Getting out isnt bad, just need to be observant. I love em. FYI, order the steps seperatley because they package them lose with the rails during shipping and can damage the rails.

I found the GM 6" rectangular steps (84106505) from an online dealer for $567 shipped, wondering if that's a good price?

I have a few problems with those steps.  Looks like they have plastic end caps, it's best to have welded end caps.  It's chromed something.  If it's chromed steel, you'll probably start seeing rust dots in the chrome in a couple of years.  They have a 12-month warranty which is horrible.  Most aftermarket steps have a three to lifetime warranty.

Ok, thanks for the feedback.  Anyone suggest an aftermarket version similar to the GM 6"steps??

I have the 6" Premium iboards on my truck. I also had their 4" standard boards on my previous truck. I like both and the fact that they won't rust. However, with harsh winters and road salt, the aluminum seems to spot/pit. I haven't found a good way to keep them looking new.

 

The price is right and install is easy. The brackets line up with existing holes in the truck body. Also, I had an issue with newer set where I thought one looked bent. I sent them a photo and they shipped me another set free of charge. They also didn't want the original ones back.

Anyone have the N-Fab Podium steps in stainless? Little pricey, but I like the way they look and I don’t really want black. Just curious if anyone has them and how they’re holding up.

Had the Westin HDX steps installed Monday. Extremely happy with them. Large front step, more than adequate rear step, and the locations are dead on. Getting in and out is very easy with these, I highly recommend them.

Just installed Dee Zee FX running boards on my truck, very happy with how they turned out and equally disappointed that I didn't spend the money before the winter. They went on easy and there's very few things I would have changed. We'll see how clean they keep the side of my truck

      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?

      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.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
