Thank you all for your help, much appreciated!

So many choices, all seem solid!

 

I went ahead and installed these 

IONIC 5" STAINLESS CURVED NERF BARS

https://realtruck.com/p/ionic-5-stainless-curved-nerf-bars/ias-402299p/

 

So far really love the construction of them. Very sturdy and not as bulky (IMO) as some of the other ones on the market.

Just ordered a Bakflip MX4 as well. (Hopefully install isn't too tedious).

Will be posting pics of both as soon asap.

Have you got any pics posted? I'm looking for examples of LTZs with steps - so much chrome! Not sure I could pull off black steps. 🤔

the new high clearance side steps from gm are excellent if you like stealth, you don't really see them on the truck unless you're really close to it or looking for them, they are slim and tight fitting, they are also a top choice if you actually leave the pavement, and or, live where there's snow, highly unlikely to drag on these and tear one off

 

one of my lifelong gm pet peeves with stock half ton 4x4's, about as much clearance as a Honda Civic off the lot with factory chin spoilers and the low nose period plus any with most factory side steps hanging way down as well, it's like a modern el camino rather than a 4x4 truck lol, cripes even a 4" lift on new one only makes it about as tall as the heavy duty 3/4 and 1 tons

I put the high clearance steps on my AT4 and gained over 2" of ground clearance.  I bent the mounting brackets on the stock boards, they hang really low.

Stock image, but I bought the Rough Country HD2's for my 2020 LT. Looks so good, but I just wish it were aluminum or something lighter

Running boards were the first thing I did to mine - the prices from the dealership were considerably higher than most aftermarket and not much difference.  I wanted the step style instead of using the tubes with pads and ordered direct from Lund and placed my order at the right time during a sale and got them shipped direct to my door for 270.00.  Extremely easy to install except for all the frame wax on my arms lol.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By CamGTP · Posted

      I have an Autel, works great for what it is. Can't do some specific things because you need say the GM tool, VCDS for Audi/Volkswagon and others of course. But those times are few and far between for me.   The other tool I'd like to try one day is the new Topdon scan tools. Seen several video's on them and many youtube people review them.    I've never subscribed for updates or payed to do that stuff on my Autel, so I'm sure I'm missing out on some of the updates but I'm fine with that for now.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.
