Have never heard of iBoards, reminds me of the factory ones on our Tahoe.

 

How is the fit and finish?

 

They do look good!

I installed Amp Research Power Steps on my GMT900 recently and will never own another truck without them.

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.

The dealer route is going to be well over $1000. If you are going to spend that much you might as well spend that much on a nice set of Amp Research.

Since I already have the electric running boards (but no harness) it doesn’t make sense for me to spend even more money on buying another set if I already have the running boards. I feel since it’s just an electrical wiring situation, it makes more sense to just find someone who knows about the topic..

After having the ICI magnum RT steps I’m replacing them and selling for cheap. 

Im really not a fan of the 2:drop down step look thought I wanted something different but turns out I hate them. 

 

Step itself is too small

step is made too far forward 

 

i was able to pick up the Westin thrashers for 458,00 waiting for their arrival.

i bought the GM branded step bars for my 18 crew cab (same bars that came on the real tree edition silverado)

i used as much copper antisieze on the bolt threads as i could and smeared 5th wheel grease on all the speed nuts and contact points between frame and board brackets.

I had to pry out 4 black plastic caps in the side of the frame to slip the speed nuts. Do i just leave these out or should i modify them to make them fit again?

 

On a sid enote i got some of the tube caps thats supposed to seal the tube crossmembers in the rear of the frame - are these a good idea or do these just trap moisture and cause rot?

Replaces 2 yr old rusting NFAB bars with iBoards, took about 20 minutes to install. First thing I noticed was how much easier it is getting in and out,  not only for me but the wife and kids. When I removed the NFAB bars, the tubes were full of rust crumbs.

First snow/ice and they broke from the refreeze.  Garbage.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
