1500HD Nerfs


Recommended Posts

Posted

I want to put a set of Westin S/S Chrome nerfs on my 1500HD crew cab.  I noticed that no one lists the 1500HD specifically when trying to get the correct set.  All I see are the 1500, 2500 , 2500HD or 3500. Can someone help me match the right set for this truck?  I know someone else must have wondered the same before ordering their set.

 

Please reply or send email....

MadDog,

 

I bet they are the same bars as the 2500HD crewcab, with the 1500 mounting brackets.  I'll look into it some more...

OK here it is from the Westin site.  You need the part number 26-1950 for the CPS bars.  It is the same application as the 2500HD crewcab trucks.

 

Check out their website Westin Automotive

I appreciate your help.  Thanks a bunch.  Even the guys at Line-X (who will them for install for free when I get the bed liner) could not match the right set from their catalog.  Getting them put on this Friday...  Thanks again!

I pulled that part number from the Westin website, I hope the guys at LineX dbl checked it for you...

 

Post some pics when you get them on...  :cool:

They doublechecked with their distributer, who in turn contacted Westin, who confirmed that they are the same application you described.  

 

Thanks again..  I have a friend of mine who is a professional photographer that agreed to take some pics after I get everything on.  I'll post them once I get them.  

 

I absolutely love that truck!  Just turned 500 miles on the way to work this morning.  The only problem is now I notice that there are more of them on the road than I thought.  

 

There are a whole lot of F--- Crews in my parking lot at work because my employer has a special employee purchase plan with them.  I've offered to chain the rear bumpers with a few of the Triton groupies and so far none of them care to have their frame ripped out from under the body!  ;)

    • WOW, something we agreed on. I only bought at sticker twice. A 94 impala ss and an Acura intagra type r. Made money on the first. Still have the second.
    • I prefer new, but not without a deal. Historically I've bought severely aged new inventory, leftover model year, unpopular configuration kind of stuff that sits around on dealer lots until they just want it gone. $10k off MSRP kind of stuff on a mid-priced truck. That really, really helps knock down that first year depreciation. It also requires being somewhat flexible on colors and options. I wouldn't buy a 4 cylinder if I was looking for an 8 cylinder, but if I got blue paint instead of black, or a great deal was lacking a minor option, I'm willing to overlook those things for savings.   Used <> used. Condition and history are everything. If I'm buying used I'm looking for cream of the crop. The truck from the guy who religiously pampers it, and then decides a year later he wants newer and nicer. NOT the ex-rental vehicle, or the crew cab traded in by the family with 7 kids who like to throw food, and the oil only got changed when there was time long after the oil life monitor started alerting.
    • @Grumpy Bear the conclusion from your post about doubling engine life has me curious. Are we literally talking an expected life of 250,000 miles potentially becomes 500,000 miles with a step up in filtration for fresh oil at "the oil factory" when it's bottled? I know you said that's a single variable among many, but, that's significant if the implication extends that far into a real world use case. I would think the oil marketing folks would really eat that up and make it known.   Particles introduced during oil change is a fairly easy one to avoid, but probably not intuitive as one would think. I.e. using a clean funnel. But...what was it wiped with? Paper towel leaves behind little fibers. A solvent if not dried is not something one would want to introduce into their engine with clean oil. And, keeping the oil filler neck clean and free of buildup.. Look at some guys engine bays and they're an absolute mess. Some say that's better than the drawbacks of cleaning it. I'm not a buyer of that idea.   I've also wondered if "flooding" the top end of the engine with oil while filling is a bad idea. During normal lubrication the oil flows in a gutter back into the galleys. But if you flood the area you're potentially washing the top of the rockers, springs, and other areas which may not get much oil wash normally, and you're mixing all that into the new oil. I just don't have the patience to pour slowly. 😆    
    • It was a bad pump, i had a dealer next day the pump. Gm part #86591535. Tools needed 10mm socket, pliers for hose clamps, 1/2gal of Dexcool. About 30mins to remove and install, pump located near oil filter on driver's side frame rail. I had a local mobile mechanic delete the code, he had a snap on scan tool. My scanner could not delete the code. I drove back home about 700 miles since then, and no check engine light. Hope this helps someone in the future in the same situation i was in. Thank you to all that helped me.
