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.

      Exhaust Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!
