The step didn't stick out far enough for me to get my foot up there.

 

I ended up going with the Magnum RT steps for extra rocker panel protection and an actual step.

Sheet! That's not good. Strange... I saw a few pics where it shows about 5 inches of width for stepping on the Rock Armor Steps??? Those RTs have always been high on my list. If I had to do it all over again, I think I should have gone with the RB10 and then put on the add-on hoops to accommodate the wife and kids. Oh well - maybe I'll get it right on the next truck.

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

. Thought I'd include a pic.....you know what they say about pics, haha

I'm curious as well about the warranty coverage, mine are all corroded and staring to pit underneath was well. Just a matter of time before they start to creep up the sides !

I'm hose them after every storm ( in CT)

Just got back from the dealer and got the service writer to start a warranty claim for the same issue and it's covered under warranty. He says it's common on 2016 models.....

Actually I may end up taking them off but that's probably a good idea. I asked if I could choose the black version and pay the difference if there was any but I got a pretty quick no.

GM must have got a good deal on Chinese metal for the '16s!

I had the chrome GM ones on my 2015; same issue. I don't think you'll get away from this issue unless you Line-X them. I ended up selling mine on Craig's List for a set of powder coated ones... Hopefully they don't run into the same issue. On the plus side, at least the underside of your running boards got this damage and not the bottom of your rocker panels.

I installed a set of N-Fab Cab Length Nerf Step Bars in the textured black finish (part #: C1475CC-TX) on my 2015 Silverado Crew Cab. I replaced the factory running boards, so all the mounting locations/clips were already in place. Taking my time it took about 1 1/2 hours to remove the old running boards and installing the N-Fabs.

This is my second set, I had the same ones for several years on my previous '07 Silverado (see pic below). I don't remember ever slipping. What type shoes (soles) do you wear?

Think I'm going to be ordering these soon. Still like these? Holding up well?

 

Sorry, haven't been on in a while. Yea I still like them and they still look brand new. The kids and wife get the most use out of them.

I installed mine (star armor steps) last night to replace the n-fabs. I think they give my truck more protection, and a better surface for stepping in and out of the vehicle. Plus, should be a lot easier to clean the roof of my truck now.

Any suggestions for a black wheel to wheel application on a 2015 crew cab standard bed? Preferably one that has a continuous step from front to rear so that you could put your foot anywhere

 

 

Had all but decided on n-fabs but we recently ran into another GM owner who had them and I had the mrs try them out. Getting in was fine but getting out the step just really needed to be about 10" further back with the way she exits. She said it felt awkward to exit and that she would just slide out in leu of using the steps which is exaclty what I was trying to avoid I'm trying to keep the edge of the seat leather in one piece so back to the drawing board...

Mine that I posted above are not wheel to wheel, but they are black. I find they do not have this issue as they are wider steps than most nerf bars. I absolutely love them.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.

      The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
