When bought the truck these factory ones  were ordered for it but not installed as they hadn’t  shown up yet. I wasn’t going to install them but with previous knee surgeries it’s just too tough for me to hop in to my truck without. They are very good for grip and actually a nicer look then  I thought they would be....however they are a pita to keep clean.

I put the black Westin ProTraxx4 nerf bars on my Sierra 1500 last week......they are just way too low and I won’t be able to live with them.  Now I’m trying to choose between Rough Country HD2 and GoRhino RB20.....any advice on either?  I’m in New England so durability is important to me.  Thx for any help......and lemme know if anyone wants to buy my Westin nerf bars!

I have the RC HD2 they mount level with the pinchweld on the bottom, they have plenty of grip and are simple to install.

Thx amigo.....I’m definitely considering those......and I added the GoRhino D6 Dominator to my list as well.....just not sure if they “stick out” too much (if I look from behind the truck, is the 6” inch width highly visible?)....I’m gonna look at more pics of everything.  It looks like my current Westin ProTraxx 4s give me a narrow look but it’s because they sit so low.....too low for my liking.

The RC HD are adjustable meaning you can slide them in to touch the pinch-weld or pull them out pretty far if you need more step

Welded on sliders, almost 8 feet long. Can lift the truck with these, Chassis Unlimited I think is the vendor.

You may want to avoid steel steps or boards living in New England. Otherwise, you’ll be dealing with rust issues. I live in the rust belt so I went with DeeZee NXT boards since they’re aluminum. I’ve had them for 4 yrs and they’ve held up great other than some of the coating pealing off on the bottom side and the mounting brackets rusting. They have a similar look to the RB10/RB20 boards but without the cutout slots that would allow snow and slush to get thrown up through from underneath. I recently sectioned the brackets to raise the boards up closer to the rockers.

Thanks HoosierZ.....great looking truck....that blue is beautiful.  I’m definitely kicking around aluminum options as well....winters here are brutal with the amount of salt they throw around.

I might be in the minority, but I love the stock running boards. They have a great weight to them.

No I’m with you I think they have a clean look to them. I wish I would’ve ordered them with my truck but then again I’m glad I didn’t because that would’ve held up the delivery of my Silverado RST CC. 

 

I keep looking for a take offset.  I’m not paying $850 from the Stealer ship.....

I installed the APS H Series Running Boards.  Were some of the less expensive boards I found online at $230 from AutoAnything.  I like that there is no visible gap between the truck and running board.  They sit approx half inch from the body of the truck at their max (closest) setting, which is where I have them set at.

That was my worry too.  After talking to GoRhino I realized they would be ok...and the DSS would be too narrow.  It’s hard to tell from the pic but they are just right.  Plus, there is nothing hanging below the step and the sit at the pinch weld.   Clean and tight. I really like them.

Thx Wakinvol.

So just to confirm, those are the GoRhino D6 Dominators in your pic? Just want to make sure cuz I’m definitely leaning towards them....they look awesome on your truck.

Looks like they’re snug to the body and don’t hang too low....and they don’t stick out too much (when looking from behind the truck)?
Really appreciate your input.

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
