First off, I'm going to say this has to be the worst forum EVER to try to search for a common issue! WTF is with all the pop-ups??? It didn't seem to be this bad back when I was more active on this site in the past. Anyway, my new HC with auto retract running boards will not always deploy the boards. They'll start to come out when I open my door to get out, then they'll retract midway. I'll have to open and close the door 2-3 times sometimes to make them deploy all the way. I've tried to figure out some kind of a pattern to it, but it just seems so random. Anyone else having this issue??

I've had the same problem since it was new. It never acts up when at the dealer (no surprise). I do notice it happens most often when the OAT is over 90 degrees and more often than not on the driver's

How do you think my steps will do in snow? I’ve never had this style and just put them on so this winter will be my first.

It sounds as though something is binding or blocking drift boss

Talked to the local GM Tech & he said that more than likely a small rock(s) get lodged in the hinges, which makes sense as it's random & I live up a gravel road. I guess I'll just have to deal with it!

Yeah, I debunked the rock theory myself and recently told that same tech it wasn't a rock causing them to do that. I just did a GM factory survey and let them know about it. Some days they work flawlessly, others I have to open and close the doors a few times before the deploy all the way. I'm sure there are others beside us having this issue. My truck started doing this on the second day I got it home, now approaching 4k miles

Thanks for the info! It seems every time I mention something like this to a dealership, they act all surprised like I'm the first guy on the planet to have these problems! Anyway, this new truck purchase is the first vehicle I've ever bought the extended warranty for as I figured with all this electronic BS, that'll be what fails after the normal warranty period.

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
