Any install a bull/nudge bar on there Silverados yet?  I like the Chevy one,(https://www.gmpartsstore.com/oem-parts/gm-exterior-trim-tubular-nudge-bar-84027398?origin=pla&gclid=CjwKCAjwv4_1BRAhEiwAtMDLspZqQrmQ4UnPrEzMGDdyyAbkd-BSwPvqgeTcUSMRXBhd7QbFp8RFhhoC9mIQAvD_BwE) but looking for options.

More than looks good, looks great! Certainly not the cheapest and wouldn't be my first choice if purchased solely for off road use. But I may get one and this one would be it solely for the appearance factor. Not planning to go off road so this one would be worth the extra bucks, if for nothing else it is an excellent contrast match for a painted RST front and perfect match in color, finish and recessed logo for the OEM sports bar.

Looks like I'm going for this one.....worth the extra bucks for three reasons: looks good and hollow Silverado lettering like the sports bar can be accented with a colored strip to match body color, no front license plate requirement in my State to mess up the front look, and  major reason is that it mounts like others on the tow hooks bracket, but unlike the rest allows you can also keep your existing tow hooks (which came in handy more than once for dragging downed trees from road). Going for a close price match from dealer, more than the usual 10%, because I'll save on expensive shipping costs.

Looks good. Would this not interfere with the parking sensors?

The issue I found with adding a designer nudge bar is I'd simply be adding another layer of decoration.  I have owned custom bumpers and police style push bars to protect my truck.  Fixing them with a rattle can saved me a lot of body work over the years.  Now that my truck is used as a people mover in an urban environment, I use a front mounted camera to protect me from self inflicted nudges.  If I'm in an accident, I want my front end to crumple as designed.

Using it for decoration only. Don't need a camera, simply use the voice command system: "Honey, get out and see if I've pulled up far enough".

 

They call it a nudge bar instead of a push bar for a reason. I have every confidence it will crush just as easily as the rest of the front end, providing about as much protection as putting your hand in front of your nose to protect against a punch in the face.

Never ordered from this site but better price. Not sure what they would charge for shipping. I thought I read somewhere that if you had front parking sensors it would interfere with them.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
