Speaking of exhaust tips, has anyone found a good set of quad tips yet that look good? I've been debating going quad on my truck since I just had the muffler delete done. I really love the set Borla sells but I don't think you can buy them without the whole catback.

You might want to look on Corvette sites. They all have those for the most part.

I just plasti dipped mine graphite color, not 100% sure I like them. Might just bite the bullet and get them off eBay in the Satin Steel Metallic color. 
 

Anyone with a TB have with the gloss black tips on or even the satin steel tips?

Sanded with 220 and painted them up.

I like the satin black.

Powder coated gloss black..!!...but I do have gloss black wheels and a gloss black grill center.   I do think the color goes with whatever color theme. Like mines all shadow gray and gloss black.

Pulled my exhaust tips and had them powder coated. Only cost $40. I would highly recommend doing that over buying a new set. You are going to have to pull them to replace them so pull them drop them off to get powder coated and then put em back on. Got the call mine where done about 2 hours after I dropped them off.

For those who have been there, how do you get the corner steps off? once you can get to the screws it looks pretty easy, but the step pad clips in somehow, what's the best way to get that off? I don't want to break anything in the process.

Once you get all the hardware removed they pop out. They are held in with clips. Just take your time. It’s not difficult

There is one tiny screw that’s holds the foot plate on to the step. Once you unscrew that from underneath it will slide out. There are 2 more torq screws underneath it to remove before the entire corner piece will come out. That piece is kind of a pain in the ass to get out as there are like 3 clips that don’t want to come out. I just yanked it out. Did some minor damage to the clips but those clips are pointless. It’s already being held in with 8 screws/bolts. The clips are unnecessary. 
 

So to be clear there should be 9 total screws/bolts to get the entire corner/step out. Don’t yank anything until you have all 9 of them out and the foot plate off.

You can actually remove the tips without taking the corner step out. Either a small air ratchet, or 12v cordless ratchet.... Just as long as the battery is the diameter of the ratchet, and not the style that looks more like a drill battery.

what is the box behind the step with the electrical harness connected to it? Radar sensor for the cross traffic alert system?

Don’t remember seeing a box behind there. LT Trail Boss here. What model do you have?

Sierra Denali. I don't know what else it would be. some kind of plastic enclosed something-or-other attached to the back side of the pocket with an electrical connector plugged into it. its on the driver's side at least, didn't check the other side.

Does your truck have cross traffic alert? That's the only thing I can think of it that it could be.

    • I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?
    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
