I have a 2016 Sierra 1500 Denali, and my driver-side running board plays "peek-a-boo" when I open both the front, or the rear door. The door opens, and the running board starts to engage for 1 second, then retracts back. The board is also not resting in it's normal "Home" position, it sticks out about 3 inches. The dealership says I need a new motor and linkage and wants my 1st born kid as payment. Has anyone ever encountered this issue? If so, what was the end result?

  I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID. In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want. GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time. A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.

  I am curious if they reused the leaf spring ubolts, if you live in a salty road climate it would be obvious but perhaps not otherwise.

  Update. So the engine went out on July 4th and today I picked the truck up with its “new” remanufactured engine. Giving the dealership some credit for the holiday, it took about 2 weeks to get the truck back- so better than i expected for sure. Unfortunately the next steps the dealership gave me to register the new engine so its under warranty were not correct and its confusing on exactly what the warranty will be on this engine- the website says 36 months or 100k miles, however Im currently at 88K miles, so does that mean ive only got 12k miles of warranty on this engine? Ive reached out to GM to get clarification.

  Sure, but you can add all the physical stuff, wiring, switches, computer, relay, etc, the thing that stops it is the programming.
