Cab Rails for 2014 Chev Silverado


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey,

 

I am looking for some cab rails for my 2014 silverado truck. I have attached a copy of a picture of what I want. I want the chrome rails that mount to the cab. I was wondering what you all have and how much you are asking. Please keep in mind that I live in Alberta Canada. So when giving me your price please show me how much the cost of shipping would be. I would be look for anything that is newer than 2008 as this was when the cab design had changed and should be the same as the 2014 cab.

 

Thanks

Too be honest, with how flimsy the roofs are (at least the outer skin that you see) I wouldn't get a rack like that. I would look into off-road style racks that lift off of the roof and the mounting points are on the outer edges where the doors are.

Thanks guys for the replys. I have thought about this and thought that those cab rails would fit. It would also sort of keep it stock even though it does not go on that truck of mine, I have aslo heard horro stories about the roof possibly caving in.

 

After hearing your thoughts and opinions, I think I will go with a different option that mounts to the bed with the the rack over the cab.

    • Most say the oil temperature needs to above the boiling point of water to rid it of moisture and long enough to dry it. Many think that is about a hour at 212 F or more. Those people have never line dried cloths in a Midwest winter. Leave a pan of water sitting on the counter and eventually it all evaporates. So heat drives the time it takes. Water in oil under 175 F, the Nitration initiation temperature, is a minimum then for temperature and samples I've done that use Karl Fisher method say about a hour (in a healthy well tuned motor) over 175 F will dry it to under 800 ppm. Low enough to not be much of a factor. Motors with weak rings will take longer and the colder the air temperature the longer it takes.   On a cold motor there is also the condensation temperature. Blowby gases that contain moisture are subject to that cold cylinder wall, like sweat on a glass of ice tea. But also subject to the Law of Partial Pressures. Wear studies by GM and the DOD  indicate wear is a real issue below 85 F and a concern to 140 F but doesn't become a minimal factor until about 160 F. You know this intuitively when you see water vapor exit the exhaust pipe until the system gets above the dew point. It isn't magic, it's physics and it fascinates me. I know you didn't ask but....I over share sometimes. 😉    You keep the Camaro's high and tight.  
    • Move further away.   Benefit of living out - none of our cars get short cycled, plenty of warm up time.   Curious how much time/temperature it takes to drive moisture/condensation out of the engine?
    • Switch a a 100% synthetic trans fluid, Amsoil works for me.
    • First of all sorry, I know there are a ton of transmission temperature threads...   My truck is a 2025 LZ0 High (10l89 10-speed) High Country with NHT max trailering package. The NHT package is supposed to have "enhanced cooling."   Normally the trans temp sits around 200. It seems like with any real stress it quickly jumps into the 220s (for example climbing a grade unloaded at lower speeds). I haven't towed much with this truck, but I'm concerned if it gets this hot unloaded.    I've tried a few different things to keep the temps down (tow/haul mode, sport mode, low range when that makes sense) and nothing seems to affect it.    I'm curious if others are the same behavior or if anyone has found techniques to keep the temps down. It seems like it just can't handle reduced airflow at lower speeds, even with relatively light loading.    Thanks!      
    • I'm at 105,000 miles on my baby Duramax. No issues yet. I hit 31 mpg's traveling through hilly terrain to a project in Colorado. I will buy another 3.0. I'm not concerned.
