Go rhino RB10

These are one of my favorites as they sit how I want and up high on the body. Two things (well 3 if you count the higher price) are I have heard multiple complaints about the coating peeling, also I have seen these look dirty and collect lots of dust due to the textured finish. Still on my list but looking at other options. Really just want a tight fitting black good looking running board. The Dee Zee NXT are high on my list too at almost half the cost and sit pretty high too.

I went with the NXT boards over the RB10 for a couple reasons.

 

Several people have had pealing issues with the coating. The RB10s are only coated on the top side. The bottom looks to be paint or powdercoat. I would assume that the bottom side would get chipped up and start rusting, especially in the Rust Belt where I live. I knew the only options for me were aluminum or stainless to eliminate the rust factor.

 

The NXT boards don't fit up as close to the rockers as the RB10s do. While the fit looks better on the RB10s, they are likely too high to be as functional as the NXTs. I recently installed a set of NXTs on the wife's Colorado. The brackets placed the boards up close to the rockers similar to the RB10s. They looked great but the boards were too high and cumbersome to use.

    • Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"
    • Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.    
    • Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!
    • This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
