Not hard at all, they bolt into pre existing holes underneath. I installed them by myself in about an hour. I still love them! For the price, they can't be beat!

So no drilling extra holes etc? It's a literal bolt on? Im not super handy with truck stuff, so im hoping itll be an easy project

 

Did you need to lift the truck to install? (tire jack,etc?)

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

He's correct, no drilling at all. Literally 0 drilling. Don't even have to jack up the truck to install. There are 3 nuts that are welded to the body (i think thats what it is?) that are already threaded. you sit the bracket over the threaded holes, and you screw in the included bolts.

The frame holes in my 2016 Sierra 1500 weren't threaded. I had to put the included nut-clips through the holes, and used nuts and bolts for the bracket end on the lip. It was still a pretty easy install.

I ordered the DeeZee NXT boards last night to replace my 4" chrome GM steps. DeeZee has a 10% mail-in rebate on all their parts thru today. I went with the crew cab length boards for my double cab after seeing in pics that the double cab length boards fall a few inches short of the back of the cab. The longer boards will also help prevent some rock chips on the lower bed sides.

Post some pics once done. I am considering those to among a few others.

Same here, I don't really like the 4" GM OEM flat top round chrome steps. I like something wider to stand on like those 6" NXT. I'm just wondering what to do with the GM OEM boards, would they sell at a reasonable price?

Got mine from the dealer for free. My wife wanted them on the truck and argued with the sales manager till they gave in. :) They installed the 6" chrome version. I like them but have been thinking of spraying them black since I got my wheels/tires.

Some dudes have even line x'd them. Looks pretty good

Got my DeeZee NXT boards on. The crew cag length boards (86") are perfect for a double cab. Their ext/double cab boards are only 73". They are fully adjustable front-back and 1" in-out. I have them set all the way out and they stick out the exact same distance as the factory steps. I'll get some better daylight pics later.

Hoosier,

 

What was your total cost? I went to their site and mounting hardware is additional but I couldn't find that cost without going thru checkout. I assume you (we) only have three mounting brackets on our double cabs?

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      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

      OCI, not when but why?

      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.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      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.
