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.

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.

    • Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift. (Corvette Only) After changing the exhaust sound they get a popup that "mode change not applied", even though it was. -When changing volume, the volume bar is for Traffic instead of Audio. -(Corvette Only) Improvements to the placement of buttons and text. -If the customer receives the message "Apple CarPlay Could not connect", the cursor might move in the opposite direction than expected when using the control knob. -Android Auto automatically starts playing their music, even though they have turned that off in settings. -Intermittently they have a red OnStar LED with no OnStar function and/or no audio. -The minimum length of the Wi-Fi password was increased to 12 characters. -The popup message "Driver Attention Check, check your mirrors or Super Cruise will shut down" may not have come up on the display when it should have. -Startup animation added for 20th anniversary of the V-Series on Cadillacs. -The Navigation app received location improvements when going under long underpasses. -In the Navigation app there are filters for charging points that the vehicle cannot use.   V164 Most Notable Improvements Most notable improvements contained in this release may include: Apps Intermittently, an “SD Card Removed” message will pop up in the Navigation app. While in the audio app, the radio may stop working.

    • Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated. 
    • We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person. 
    • We had a pretty big cars and coffee in Indy this past weekend.  Pretty much anything and everything was there.  
    • Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
