What do you guys think of these steps/runing boards for my 07 NBS Ext. Cab? Price seems fair but im not sure if id rather have these or nerf bars. $200 is my budget.

In the end it is going to be what you want and like. I don't care if everyone likes nerf bars, if I want running boards then I get them.

 

For me I wanted a greater weight capacity since mine is a crew cab and a wider step so I chose some power running boards. That way I still have my running boards but don't have to see them all the time, only when getting in or out.

i just bought those for my 04 z71, extended cab, shipped and everything was 200$, i was told bye friends " those are going to be junk blah blah blah", i recently took a trip to the auto zone down the street and took a look at a pair of Westin nerf bars... westin schmestin... the bars i got for 1/3 the $$$ are comparable and i'd even venture to say BETTER than the westins, they have a LIFETIME warranty... me and my dad installed them in about an hour and a half last night, they look amazing, they came with all stainless steel bolts,nuts, and powder coated mounting hardware, the quality far surpasses any of my friends doubts... i am extremely happy with my purchase... good luck with yours!!!

I don't care for nerf bars either. I opted for the GM 6" wide stainless step bars. They are quite expensive. Had I seen these before I bought my truck, I would have opted for to go with this route. Those are going to look pretty good, just as good if not better than the GM version.

I find with a Chevy 1500, running boards arent needed. With a 2500 they are.
your right with the old body style there not needed however with the new body style they are even with the 1500

well my set got delivered today took 1/2 hour per side to get them on . They look great and are very sturdy I stood in the middle of the mounts and bounced up and down and got hardly any deflection at all if any and I weight 230 they are well made and fit very nicely .

I would fall under the "prefer nerf bar" category, but those are the best looking running board I believe I've ever seen. Great deal on ebay also.

Your GM dealer is clueless!!! The GM FACTORY 6" oval Step bars do NOT mount to the frame. They mount to the underside of the rocker panels to 4 reinforced mounts that are meant for mounting these steps specifically. I have them and and I can jump up and down on them and they do not bend or even flex the sheetmetal, and I weigh 215 lbs.

Well I am not sure how the ones from GM mount I have not seen them yet but I am sure if they from GM they fit and work great the reason I choose to Buy these is that I just thought that 625.00 was to much .Also the ones that I installed on my truck today mounted to the frame using the existing bolts with no drilling and seem to work just fine

      Winter Returned

      .30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer reported a failed shifter module assembly so the whole shifter is getting replaced. Yet another premature repair… up to $12,000+ in extended warranty payout in only 5 years and 80,000 miles!

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      According to the dealer it’s an internal leak/failure of the compressor.  Again, another failure that shouldn’t happen at only 5 years and 80k miles.  For some reason the compressors must be hard to come by right now, because the truck’s been at the dealer almost a week and they just located a compressor at another dealer several states away today.  We’ll see if this fixes the issue.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.
