Hi guys. I own a 2019 Sierra AT4. My dilemma is the optional factory 'assist steps' (#84630474) I've seen on AT4's later than mine...mostly on 21's and above. Pretty sure I've seen them on a 2020 AT4 as well. Will they fit a '19? Everywhere I ask people tell me they're "pretty sure" they'll fit but I'd like to know for certain as most places offer no refund, so I'd be stuck with them. Some fitment charts say they won't fit. My guess is that they do, but weren't even an option until 2020 and kicking me a "won't fit" because of this. Much appreciation in advance.

I don't either. They are pretty sharp looking IMO I'm surprised nobody has tried this before. $1k  is hard to drop on a chance (however slight) they won't work. Thanks for the reply.

I have these on my Silverado and people ask me all the time where i got them from. I bought mine at a Chevy dealer and got the ones for the extended cab but I have a double cab so they exchanged them with no problems or questions asked. Buy them from a dealer and not mail order and you should have no problems if they don't fit.

Same generation, no changes to the underside, should bolt right up.

 

My wife and I like wide steps, we're getting old!

This guy got them for his 2020 which is also listed as not compatible.

No idea why they say not compatible unless it's because GM didn't bother to go back and bolt them on to older trucks. The cabs are the same for the T1's and all the threaded inserts are already in the cab floor. You just have to pop the plastic plugs off the ones you need to use and thread the bolts into them to bolt the brackets up. I wanted a set of those steps until I saw the price! I went with a $260 set that tuck up high but have drop down bars to protect the body. They're aluminum so they're light as well.

Thanks for the info guys. I think the collective thought in the thread is that there's no reason why they shouldn't. I will most likely get a set but be on the lookout to score some a little cheaper.

The only thing I thought of is if your truck is a diesel. I know the DEF tank is on the driver side and I saw something about different brackets for the diesel.

Ok so if anyone reads this my question has been answered. They do fit. I have a pair on my 2019 Sierra AT4. Bolted up no problem.

I removed the wide style on my '20 AT4 and installed the factory "high clearance" steps posted above with no issue.  I picked them up for $300 locally removed from a brand new at4.

be the guinea pig man, 98%+ they will work and you'll sell em real easy if not as there's nothing better, I've now seen mine in snow, mud, combined frozen etc. and they are awesome, the grippy stuff and how solid these are, combined with their fitment to body and clearance makes them in a different league and worth the money imo, they happen to look incredible too, they aren't lightweight, I'd have to guess 25-30 lbs a side, quality stuff, best side step I've seen outside of some custom aluminum extruded grip strut type steps I've seen on oilfield trucks, anything works if there's no snow/mud etc. but most are slippery hazards in that stuff, these can play for real work, and don't forget they are there when jumping out, that grip stuff can give good road rash to the back of your calf, it's a self trainer and you learn the lesson just after you put them on 😉

 

also, there's multiple locations on the board for the 3 brackets to move to, to align with different trucks frame points etc., so they designed them to fit several trucks

Frame points? Do these actually bolt to the frame and not the underside of the cab?

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
