GM Silverado Nudge Bar - install instructions

[nbflanagan]

Hi everyone,

 

Today, my nudge bar arrived for my Silverado. I was disappointed to see that the instructions weren't included and instead it said to contact a dealer. I'm wondering if there is anyone here that could upload or PM the install directions. The part number for the nudge bar is 23387670.

 

Thank you for your time.

Anyone? Bump once more.

You provided the part number, but what's the brand? Is it the OEM one, like this:

Managed to find some basic instructions as it's not {typically} that difficult:

 

• Open up the packaging of your bull bar and read the installation instructions.
• Check to make sure you have all the necessary tools and that no parts are missing.
• Crawl under the front of your rig and locate the factory-drilled holes.
• Bolt the bull bar brackets into the holes and torque them down.
• Connect the bull bar to the mounting brackets, ensuring that everything is even and level.
• Double-check that all the bolts are tight.

Installation Instructions

Procedure

Caution: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

1. Remove the front tow hooks, if equipped. Refer to Front Tow Hook Replacement.
2. If front tow hook openings are not present, it will be necessary to replace the front bumper fascia air deflector. Refer to Front Bumper Fascia Air Deflector Replacement.
4. Install the front end guard mounting brackets (4) to the frame rails.
5. Install the M12 bolts (1) and nuts (3).

Rock on, thanks...

[wulfgott]

So, anyone know if this fits the 2015 without issues? Also, do you have the parking sensors on yours and does it interfere with them if you do?

Not yet, I have to email the guy whom

Makes the mounts I am looking at for front bed rails and ask a couple questions still. Our front bed rails are a little different, not by much though due to those hook mounts along the front. Additionally, I want to make sure that they will clear my tonneau cover (G4 elite) so I can still open it. I don't see a problem with that really just triple checking. I have decided to mount it under the rear seat however and run the cables under the carpeting.
