Need some Pictures

 

I just bought a 2003 sierra extended cab.  I am looking into getting some nerf bars (wheel to wheel) and also looking into getting gmc mudflaps.  Does anyone have this setup on their truck?  If so can I see some pictures.  I just want to make sure it doesn't look dumb before I dump money into this set up.  thanks

These new bars from Westin have a unique style and they are a wheel to wheel bar.  I don't know anything about the price etc...  but they are chrome plated stainless so they should last!!!

I have Westin 6-inch Oval aluminum nerf bars and GMC mudflaps. I did not have mudflaps on my last truck. I thought they would look "dumb".  Now that I see what they do, I love them.  No matter what brand you may get, I think the benefits outweigh the negatives.

Don't the Westins pit though ???

My chrome plated Oval Tubes pitted.  Westin will replace them free of charge (shipping included).  According to Westin, there was a small number of early production units that they were aware of a problem, and they were not to leave the factory.  However,  somehow a few sets were shipped, and I ended up with one of them.

I like those bars. Looks like they may help me get into my tool box. Since I got it lifted I have also thought about getting mud flaps since my tires sling the mud. How much are these bars.

Don,

 

I'm assuming you are refferring to the Westin "Wheel to Wheel" bars that I posted a picture of?  

 

I don't know the cost.  I saw them at the westinautomotive.com website, and thought they were a nice option for someone who needs a wheel to wheel bar.

 

I have never heard of anyone that has had problems with the westin CPS Nerfbars, and these bars are made of the same chrome plated stainless and carry the same lifetime warranty, so they should be a good option.

 

I would guess they would run in the price range of $400.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
