Thanks Phil for being such a rock star!
I just purchased a set of these running boards for my 2018 gmc 1500 elevation. The seller let me cut the plugs off his truck. (crazy guy lol) I am an automotive electrical technician and wiring is not a concern however, the running boards I purchased may be faulty.
The drivers board wont move freely by hand so I cant even pull it apart to bolt the unit on to the truck. The passenger board articulates freely off of the truck by hand which makes me concerned I may have a seized unit on the drivers board.
How should these move when power isn't attached?
I noticed the round pivot point on the drivers side board, closest to the rear tire, has slid down below where the wear line is for the pivot. I'm wondering if the old owner attempted to remove the running boards incorrectly and it just needs to be moved up to move freely again. Is there torque specs somewhere for these bolts as well?
Thanks for your time.
