Tried searching the forum and on GM Parts websites, i am wondering if anyone knows the gm part number for the Tri-Mode Articulating Running boards?  I know Phil has a harness for it, just looking to see if i can find the factory ones somewhere online..  I dont want to plug anything into my OBD connector so not looking into aftermarket.

 

TIA

I have a 2017 GMC Sierra slt Texas edition. Didn’t come equipped with the electric running boards but bought the oem factory ones from someone I met. I been looking around for someone who can wire them up for me, my issue is I can’t seem to find anyone to do it. They say I need the harness, which I don’t have . I’ve taken the running boards to gm & they inform me there’s “no way” they can do it unless I buy the “whole kit” from them. I’ve also went to other professionals who “specialize” in that area, but I’m getting the same response from everyone.that since my truck did not come equipped with the electric running boards my truck does not have the bdm module & can’t be done.. but I did find something on YouTube where a guy in a similar situation installed some factory running boards on his truck which did not come equipped with them.. he made his own harness & did his thing ‘ they work perfectly fine.. can anyone give me some good & simple feedback on this issue, it is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This guy has the harness for the OEM boards, maybe he can hook you up with an installer, the ink below is for a 2014 - 2015 Silverado, he has a harness for the 2016 - 2018 also.

look nice, do they plug into your OBD connector?

Yes, These are the Plug and Play ones, and I also have the Pass through cable installed so the OBD2 port is available and it looks OEM.

Installed a set of Magnum RT steps over the weekend, very happy with fitment and quality of build.

Does anyone know how to mount the newest model (2020+) Sport bars onto a 2017 Silverado? Is there a bracket conversion kit or something available?

After 4 yrs of Indiana winters, the bottom of my DeeZee NXT boards are loosing their powder coat. I scraped off the loose coating, wire brushed them, and am going to spray bedliner coating on the bottom and the brackets. I’m also sectioning the brackets 1.25” to raise the boards closer to the rockers.

Tight to the rockers looks better. I also shortened the boards so they stop at the back of the cab.

Just ordered a set with plug-n-play, any tips/tricks/hints/dos/donts you would suggest?

How long did it take you to install?

The installation took me about 2-2.5 hours and I did it by myself in my driveway. If you have a friend or an extra set of hands help you on the part where you hold the step up to the brackets and bolt them down that will make things easier. One other thing I will suggest is to use some blue loctite on the bracket bolts that hold the brackets to the truck. Mine vibrated loose and I found out it was a semi common thing with some trucks so I applied the Loctite (threadlocker) and it's been perfect since (over a year now). Other than that, just take your time and you will love them.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
