Those $130 ones are junk

Aren't they the same as the factory ones GM puts on the trucks?

No

They just look like them.

Good to know. I was fooled by the ebay listings.. Unfortunately after about 65k miles my OEM boards were corroded really badly on the surface so I sanded them down and they look like more of a brushed aluminum now... I may paint 'em black once the weather gets better...

I would get them sand blasted and powder coated black. That's how I did my tubulars and they look amazing and can hold up to rocks very well

I actually got a quote to have them line-x coated, I think around $350... If you don't mind: how much $$ to have 'em powder coated/

I paid $100 for both. 

To be fair he was a guy that is just starting his own shop and trying to get work. I don't think $200 is a bad price if you can find it in that range.

Thanks for the info... I am not sure what I'll do...

Can somebody just do this so I can see what it looks like? I like the sound of it.

I was quoted $300 from 2 different shops to bed liner spray my running boards. 

I bought a set of the tri-mode running boards and really just want the chrome strip on the sides covered up.

Just to follow up

 

ended up selling the crew cab running boards to someone else for 180. 

 

Never got to try cutting them down.

I'll park my CC next to a buddy's DC, both with step rails, and take a picture while standing in one of the beds, looking down.  Then I'll take a left or right side picture of both trucks, and superimpose one over the other.

just mask it off and spray some plastidip on it.

I hate plastidip. Stuff scrapes off way too easy. 

 

I'm going to buy a DIY bed liner spray kit, $110 on amazon (Raptor brand). Friend of mine has had good success with it.

I doubt it will work. I just installed a wheel-to-wheel set on my 2500 CCLB, there was 5 mounting brackets per side. Each location had to be exact because the mounts would bolt on to the truck in one possible location, then the board was tapped to bolt onto the mounts. So if the mount was out even 1" off the set position the board would not bolt to the mounts. It is unlikely that the mounting locations will have the correct spacing on a Dbl Cab vs. a Crew but let us know how you make out. Maybe the OEM boards mount differently, I think my Dbl Cab 6.2L has 3 mounts on OEM boards, I will check later.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
