These were dealer installed. I'd have to take a closer look to see what they are.

I my name is Ty. I have a lifted Z71 Chevy Silverado 2019. I have the same runners. the plastic panel on driver side cracked. I am trying to find out the name or make of this particular runner. Do you know the name or manufacture?  Also do you know where i can purchase these runners? Response would be So Appreciated. 

Thank You.

Sorry Philly, I never found out what brand or model these were.

Awesome.....really appreciate your help.  I also had a hard time deciding....but seeing them on your truck convinced me that’s what I want.  I just ordered a pair and I might ask my Line-X guy if he can put a coat on them before installation.....I think he usually charges $250 for coating a pair of running boards, but I’m gonna see if he can lower that since these Dominators won’t require any real prepping/taping/etc....the Line-X should make them impervious to New England weather conditions so we’ll see.

Thanks again.

How do these compare to the stock AT4 high clearance running boards?  I am considering both, but these are much more reasonable.  Appreciate any feedback.

Westin Pro Traxx 5 wheel to wheel with Line X coating... These were scratched & dented in shipping.  The seller refunded the full price in lieu of replacing them. I then paid $267 to Line X them.

My new AMP Research boards.  The hardest part of installing them was determining the best way to fish the wore harness down each wheel well.  Otherwise, pretty simple install.  I really like them, although they don't tuck up underneath as far as I would have liked.

 

Still searching for the fix for the upside-down pics.  Even if I turn them upside down in the file I load from, they still come out upside down.  Frankly, this may be the lamest Forum board I have ever been a member of... :(

Looking for something that will help the gf get into the truck, not hit me in the back of the legs as I jump out, AND serve as somewhat of an emergency rock slider. I'm clearly not heavily offroading my standard bed crew cab, but occasionally take it places it probably shouldn't go. Do any of you have these below, and would they offer any body protection in an oh ****** moment? 

1. Go Rhino Dominator D1,D6,DSS (Is the DSS too narrow? Are shoes constantly hitting the body paint a problem?)

2. Westin Outlaw Nerf Bar Step

3. Tyger Auto

4. Rough Country HD2 (Probably the least of a slider on the list)

I’m happy with the Go Rhino RB10 because they hug the bottom sill of the vehicle and I liked the one-piece mounting brackets. The RB10 are 6” wide all the way across and don’t stick out too far. They already catch a good number of rocks that fly up so hopefully they reduce lower door chips.
 

I liked the RB 20 like someone posted but they are something like 7.5” wide at the front and taper to around 6 or so in the back. I think the design fits the Silverado a bit better than the RB10, but I was worried that the extra 1.5” width up front would stick out too much. You get a wider step for the front passenger and a bit more rock protection.

 

I looked at what I wanted for a long time and really wasn’t thinking about flying rocks from the tires until someone posted it. So that and a step that isn’t too low made me go this route.

I have a pair of brand new running boards for purchased from the dealer on 1/4/22 and have been on the car for a week.  I just took them off and will sell for best offer. Here is a link of the item https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-chrome-round-step-pkg-84016710

    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
