I have been searching for black plastic door sill protectors for my truck. Mine are getting pretty scratched up. I have used Ventshade/AVS black plastic ones on 2 trucks and loved them. I emailed AVS as it appears they don't have them available yet, but have not heard back as to a release date.

Has anybody seen any others? I am not interested in the SS ones.

Thanks!

I'm confused, didn't your truck come with the factory plastic door sills?

 

Just this past weekend I put on the stainless door sill protectors and think they look great. Not sure how the will handle scratches though.

Scott,

I had the same problem,AVS don't make'em,and it doesn't seem like they ever will :lol:

I bought a set for a '99-'07 Classic truck,The front ones fit perfectly (You'll have to remove the rubber plug if you have one,My extended-cab had one,your crew-cab might not)

Now on the rear ones,The '99-'07's won't work on an extended-cab,However if you buy a set for a '99-'07 crew-cab the rear ones might work for you.

Like I said,I know the front ones will work for sure because there on mine!

Thanks Rich. Hey if you get a spare minute, can you snap me a picture of your front ones?

Well,I don't have a camera,I use the one we have here in the body shop at the dealership,and then the body shop manager sends them to me in a PDF.

 

I'm not very "computer smart",can I post a PDF over to here? And if so how?

I ordered a set of the 91011 00-07 and we will see how they fit, paid $39

 

The chick from Lund emailed again, and they have discontinued the entire line of door sill products for GM.

 

I prefer the black plastic ones, the SS one look very tacky, especially all scratched up, just my opinion.

So you put plastic, over the plastic? :D

 

I just installed the SS ones and think they look fantastic. I don't know how they will do with the scratches though, but I did keep the originals around just in case. It depends on the color of the truck but I love them on my black one. The black/silver theme is perfect. Really considering painting the bowties on the door sill black to match the truck, think that would look even sharper.

Not to sure what you mean... Are you Talking about that piece that runs along the door between the door and seat?

 

My buddy has some in his 07 colorado. His spelt out Cheverlot but these look a little better.

Those are the door sill plates that replace the plastic that came with the truck.

 

These are the step shields:

In the picture they look just like the door sill plates, but the protect the painted metal below the door sills.

Hey now! Those aren't bad! I didnt like the whole piece ones that replaced the plastic. I ordered the plastic ones just like the SS ones you posted. If they don't fit right, I will go with those SS ones. I had never seen those before, only the bigger ones. Thanks!!

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By glenn27 · Posted

      // Thank you, also for your  response. More information is always good. This 2013 GMC is most likely my 'forever truck"-I'm 77 and retired...and truck only has 42K on it-very clean-so I try to keep it that way.  Tks again for your  response- glenn

      Alternate wiring for Kicker sub with Bose system. (DO THIS)

      By smooth68 · Posted

      I started my install this weekend. Everything was pretty straight forward but I ran into one issue with running power through the firewall. The nipple grommet on my High Country already has a small harness running through it - has anyone else ran into this issue? And on the engine bay side, does the wire basically just penetrate the factory wiring boot? I did this on my '22 Trail Boss and it seems much easier but thats been a few years. My other thought would be possibly drilling a new hole adding a rubber grommet just to the lower left of the factory hole. Thoughts?   Has anyone used a T-harness off the Bose amp and obtained power from there? It seems a little odd that such a small amp needs 3 power leads

      By glenn27 · Posted

      ///// Ok--Thanks for that info--I could not find yesterday when I looked for the specs on that NAPA filter what I wanted. Their website is not very user friendly. I buy all teh filters for  our three vehicles once or twice a year. Have always run NAPA Gold on everything I own....I buy it thru my Son's account for his business-which he has a Heavy Equipment repair shop-one reason he uses NAPA so much-they have such a full line of coverage for just about anything/anywhere- He gets s  good discount because of volume bought. Anyway-Thank you -Sir for your response.   glenn
