Picked up a Refreshed LTZ a few days ago.

Seems like a lot of of the trucks are not coming without any running boards installed

 

Anybody have any experience or recommendations on good quality running boards?

Not really interested in the power boards, a little too expensive and not too sure on how reliable they are.

I bought mine off ebay and had dealer install. Dealer wanted 800 for theirs,  mine all in 330 alittle over a year ago.

I like these OEM wheel-to-wheel. I bought them off CL. Someone ordered them new, but they had two small dents on the side so Chevy sent them another pair. I got them for $300. Easy to install.

Mine has the same type as reeseb shows in the pic, but mine is a standard box, so the board goes further behind the rear door.

 

Still wheel-to-wheel. 

 

Happy with them. 

I like them better than the rectangular boards that were common on the previous generation.

I can’t stand factory or round steps I found these by HDX DROP NERF STEPS . I have a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 they cost $539 but worth it there heavy duty and tuck up under rockers with just step hanging down . I’d recommend put some undercoating on the removable steps they aren’t powder coated very well.scroll past blank spot for pictures . Simple to install, I did mine by myself.

have you tried fitting the Tahoe or Suburban running boards, those are slick looking compared to the aftermarket steps

Mine is factory like other 2 gentleman’s vehicle. I have 6 ft 6 in box and it goes wheel well to wheel well. Nice and easy to clean back window stepping up onto extended board.

Even though I didn't have a pic, mine is a 'standard' box like TNT's.  As shown in the pic, the length behind the rear door means they can be used to help access something sitting in front corner of box.

 

I started buying boards in the '80's.

Trucks stock heights were lower, so primary motivation was to reduce / eliminate stone damage.

Flat styles do that better than tubes.

I also have the RB20s and I like them a lot. I much prefer the looks over the others, but if they went wheel to wheel, they would be perfect, for the reasons redwngr and TNT mentioned.

The GM round ones are my favorite. I've had them on all my trucks. It's not not that they look good but they do a good job of protecting the bottom side of the truck from tire sling.20220514_114110.thumb.jpg.65831e80c609085d363a91f0eea1771a.jpg

    • Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85    
    • Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.
    • It is 4wd. shop told me it is the slip yoke. But not sure.
    • No, I did not tune out vvt. From what I read it should still be able to run without it, it'll just lose some torque/power.    I can see how that would make it not run correctly, but why would that cause the faulty MAF readings?   EDIT: I just ran a quick test and checked, and as I expected, the computer sees that the VVT cam phaser solenoid is not present, and throws a code for it, and does not try to change the cam angle at all. Commanded position just remains at zero, 100% of the time. This makes me think that the VVT is most likely not the cause of the problem though if anyone has a different/better explanation, I'm all ears.   UPDATE: I was able to find that my scan tool does indeed support reading the frequency (hz) off of the MAF (I thought it wasn't supported but turns out I just didn't know where to look for it). I noticed that regardless of engine state it always however this Is not what I observed with my multimeter. Like I said before, the MAF seems to put out a normal signal during cranking and then the signal drops to a very erratic reading once the engine is running. It seems from what my scan tool is telling me that the ECM is not recognizing this at all, and just reads 0 Hz 100% of the time. This pushes me towards the the PCM itself is faulty. I I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle, which I may try to connect and program (it's only ~50 bucks to get the software for a one-time programming)
    • Did you tune out the VVT?  07-09 they did not have VVT.  2010-2013 they did.      If you haven't tuned it, its trying to adjust cam timing.
