Today I installed the driver side Go Rhino Dominator D4 step. I like the look of the bar very much. Although i do feel like it hangs a bit low and sticks out a bit too much. I'm also concerned with the weight limit...250 pounds? Thats mostly ok, but what about when BIG father in law (300 Pounds) hops in?

My second choice would be Nfab wheel to wheel polished with 2 steps.

Any thoughts and opinions on the way the Dominator D4 looks and/or the light weight limits?

I do have pics of the smittybilt version of the nfabs, not mounted, but positioned on jack stands that i can post if anyone would like to see.

TIA

Too be honest, I haven't even looked into weight limit. MY best friend is 400 lbs. My 3" tube Westons on my old '98 and also his '06 Sierra held/hold his weight just fine and so far the N-fabs on my '14 have held up great with him and he usually gets in the truck at least once a week.

I like the wheels! Doesn't look that level though?

Slope was downhill, sits about .5" higher in the back, prefer a small amount of rake

Added Stubby antenna from AntennaX. There is a loss of signal quality while going under a bridge from one particular station in DFW but their antenna is pretty far away and no other stations mimic that effect.

 

Also took the chrome silverado & LT badges off the rear. Added Carbon Fiber vinyl to the bowties front and back. Think it goes excellent with the Tungsten.

Put the LED pods in. Haven't wired them yet, I'll do that this week.

Thanks, I'm hoping I don't have to worry about it. I actualy called Go Rhino today and they say not to worry...

Has anyone removed the black plastic bumper steps on the rear bumpers? I want to install some LEDs to light those areas up, but just from a quick glance, it didn't seem obvious on how to accomplish that.

 

More importantly, VLEDS did me right and sent me an all new HD Hanes, 2 new ballasts, and wiring to replace the one that I originally bought and was burning up at the connection! They were understanding, and apologized several times, even sent me the replacement gear via Priority mail! Finally had a chance this weekend to swap everything out. No more worries about my lights not working or burning up the truck!

Washed it…

Then took it to the beach…

 

Nice tire and rim setup...tell me more about them. Offset. Any rubbing or trimming? Do you think you could have gone a size larger in the KO2s?

There are 0mm offset, pro comp 6631's I believe. I did trim but that was for the -12mm rims I thought I was going to put on, these rims didn't need it… The BFG's are not on the truck right now, got a 1/2" bolt through one and didn't want to wait for the new tire to come in, so I put my 275/70/18" Duratracs back on for now. They are taller then the 285/65/18 BFG's and still don't rub… I've been mulling around the Idea of a 6.5" or 7" lift lately so I may be getting a different set of tires again… We'll see…

    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
    • On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
    • 2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
    • 2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.
