The installation took me about 2-2.5 hours and I did it by myself in my driveway. If you have a friend or an extra set of hands help you on the part where you hold the step up to the brackets and bolt them down that will make things easier. One other thing I will suggest is to use some blue loctite on the bracket bolts that hold the brackets to the truck. Mine vibrated loose and I found out it was a semi common thing with some trucks so I applied the Loctite (threadlocker) and it's been perfect since (over a year now). Other than that, just take your time and you will love them.

Awesome, thanks for the insight! They just got delivered so I can't wait to get home and install them.

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

I am currently checking out power running boards on 4wheelonline. Something that's easy to install on my 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Double Cab.

How did they break? Hard to tell from the photo. I just put some of these on my truck, but I live in VA where we've only had a few frosts yet.

Im seeing more and more chips in the coating on my '18 OEM nerf bars. I'm seriously considering getting them sprayed with Line-X. I got an email estimate from the local Line-X place for $250-$300 (without seeing them). Im getting tired of finding a new chip in the powder coat every week. I was just going to take them off, but seeing as how my wife, daughter and mother are both vertically challenged it's in my best interest (and safety) that I keep them on. 😉

For that price, you should be able to take them off and spray them with one of those DIY bedliner kits for a fraction of the cost.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
