Are these the same ones that come on the Escalades? I've seen the thread Pgamboa made about installing the Escalade handles and been on the to do list

The stock leds are one piece so I had to cut into the back and secured them with bead wire

I love our color but I think your black steps set it apart too. Looks better then the factory chrome ones I have. Sharp truck man!

I am wanting one of these but I am curious of a few things...

 

Can you mount it any height?  I am thinking I want mine mounted pretty high (right under my bed cover).

 

Does it swing out to 90* then stop or will it swing out over the tailgate?  To mount it higher, it would need to do this so I can open the top when my bed cover is on.

Pretty sure u can mount it at any height. It would swing out 90* but it hits the cable that holds the tail gate up so therefore it won’t. I have to open my bed cover to fully open the top. No big deal as I have a Tri fold

Thanks again! I do agree that the black side steps help a lot with the looks of the truck. We do have one unique color for sure.

 

Chrome doesn't look bad either on some of these trucks, but it's weird how IMO the chrome needs to be on certain parts of the truck to look good.

Is your 2x4(or 6?) in the slots on the side of the bed?  I know that if I got the swing case(s), my 2x12 won't fit.large.IMG_0004.jpg.82715094f605a678f2846caedb13aa07.jpglarge.IMG_0008.jpg.b5f780838fa2ecfaac575cbda21fa83f.jpg

Thanks for the info.  I was hoping it would open out over my tailgate some and not just parallel to the tailgate.

    • 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
