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.

    • 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.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • 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!
