2020 AT4 Tubular running boards not aligning

I just bought an 2020 AT4 and installed GM OEM tubular running boards and they do not align. The step is placed too far back. the proper fitment would be if the running boards were on the wrong side. when I measure the holes, they are not interchangeable to move the steps forward. When I brought up the issue with the dealership, they dismissed it and said they heard this complaint before. I took the adviser to measure a 2018 that had tubular GM running boards in their yard and they are properly fitting that truck compared to mine. the back portion is too long and the forward portion is too short. The running board goes past the cab and under the box and does not come all the way forward. 

 

There must be others that have this issue?

Didn't even realize it until this post, but mine are the same.  The stepping points for front and the rear are in the right position IMHO are in the right spot to step in and out of the truck.  I see what I mean and this might drive me nuts now looking at it

So the 2018 truck I looked at, the running boards stopped at the cab. The beginning of the tube to the first bracket is long and from the back bracket to the end of the tube it is shorter. This is how it should be for the running board to finish at the cab end. 

 

Our trucks are the opposite. shorter piece in the front and longer in the back creating your foot to hit the rubber ramp up instead of the flat part of the tube.

They are correct.  K2 boards aren't even the same boards so comparing them doesn't really work as they are both different.

If you look at this truck below and measure, it is the way it should be. What I am saying is that I believe that there is a problem directly at the manufacturing plant.

Different body style.  Different running boards.  There is no problem unfortunately.

Are they on opposite sides? If you flip driver to passenger side would that get you the alignment you are looking for? Short piece up front and longer end in the back.

Crew cab the step pads are the same size.

 

Look at the two pics I put a couple posts up.  They match OPs boards.  That is how they are designed.  If you flipped them, the step pads won't line up correct.

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?
