Steps get removed. The modules are mounted in a bracket on the driver side running board.

Since the Control circuit is the Low Speed GMLAN, there is no error that come up when removed. You will have open connectors though once connected so you’ll want to cover that from the elements and shorting something out. If you can remove the harnesses that goes between the driver and passenger, that’ll help the next person install it easier.

Xenawise is there any chance you are able to provide a link to where you pulled this image from? I am looking for part #7 and can not find it anywhere online or even a part number.

Here is a parts book blow-up of the system. Does not show all of the mounting points but #19 and #26 are the main bolts. #4 is the frame that all these bolts will go through.

Same question here... one of mine has started leaking and I am out of warranty.  I've been looking for part numbers, but can't seem to find them anywhere (online).  Anyone have a parts breakdown?

I have a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 and I need to replace the motor on the driver side retractable assist step. The motor will run but the step will not swing out. I can move it manually so it appears that the gear drive mechanism inside the motor may be stripped. Does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement motor?

Easiest is go to your dealer parts counter and get a quote or part number for the motor. They can tell you if its even sold separately or if you have to buy an entire assembly. Once you get the part number, search online. My dealer surprised me a few times by having a better parts price vs GMpartsDirect, ShopChevyparts, etc. They always tack on a big shipping charge to their low advertised price.

I have removed my sliding running boards but the rod that comes out of the motor in the front. Is there anyway of removing that or pushing it up so it won’t show? The rod in the back I was able to push up so it can be hidden.

I have removed my sliding running boards. But I was seeing how I can remove the rod that the running board attached to from the motor. I was able to push the rod in the back up to hide it from viewing.

Hi,

 

I just want to remove the running board from the swing arms to lubricate the pin that swivels as they open. There is a bit and plate on tye bottom but how do you remove the pin. The step plate needs to come off or something

I recently purchased a 2018 denali ultimate that the previous owner took the steps off of. When I purchased the truck I was given the steps with it. I put them back on and they will not do anything. I've checked everything I can think of, the fuse, the connections, I have tried unplugging the battery, and also the button under the radio. Everything is plugged correctly and in there correct spots. Wondering if anyone else has any Idea besides bring it to the dealer. Thanks!

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Stan, this thread is specifically related to the Duramax 3.0, in the 2019-2026 powertrain subforum. If you'd like to talk about your other vehicles and offer anecdotal stories about them, please consider starting a thread in forum that pertains to your truck, or the other vehicles/ Off-Topic section if they are not a GM truck.

      Video processing module location

      By twgraham · Posted

      Can someone tell me where the video processing module is in a 2023 Silverado? I'm getting conflicting results that it's in the front passenger area or the rear passenger area behind the seat.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes I agree, its what amounts to free advertising to let people know about his UOA testing company, and not that there is anything wrong with that but certainly that is a motivator for putting out videos about the science of oil as well as other topics such as oil and air filtration etc. The interesting part I found with his last video is not only the physics behind the reason for the varying wear due to a diesels working torque range causing more bearing load and that higher viscosity oil is of benefit, it was also that the chemistry behind the GM Dexos 0W-20 and the Mobil Dexos licensed 0W-20 are far enough apart that its showing up with a difference in wear even though the two oils are matched in viscosity and in that comparison viscosity was not having the finger pointed at it.    There are a few youtubers out there or one anyway that I have watched a bit of who has gone through the pains of accessing various countries manuals for a certain engine platform and while in the US/Canada it may say use 0W-20 or what have you for some Toyota product, in some other countries it sings a very different tune for the very same engine with the typical traditional oil viscosity/ambient temperature charts to help choose which oil viscosity is correct for the conditions the vehicle will be used in and in some cases its taken an engine in a US manual that states only use 0W-20 as per warranty coverage and yet that same engine in certain other countries may have up to a 15W-40 etc oil option that meets the spec. Another words the guy who is driving through Death Valley or Phoenix and south weather at 120f is often being fed a line of bs by the US system that has forced vehicle companies to restrict the warranty to a specific low viscosity oil for anterior reasons as well as the long drain interval suggestions.    Thankfully youtube is free ( yet anyway ) for viewers to sift through information and of course comes with the good and the bad ( truth and lies ) and we can choose to turn off/not watch what a person finds is bs or just not interested in the topic.

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO
