Folks,
I'm in the midst of helping a coworker install the Mopar power steps on his 5th Gen, and something just seems off about the way the driver's side is folding. Backstory, we actually installed all the electrical last weekend and he got the sales code flashed today. Yeah, backwards maybe, but he had PPF installed this week on the rockers, and I'm the mechanically inclined friend who we be out of town for the next 6 weeks. So crunch time! Bolting up the steps tonight, and the driver's side doesn't tuck when retracted as I would expect or recollect. Of course, both dealers around these parts have no trucks on the lot with them to compare (just froze our backsides off looking). I see no reason why it wouldn't be the same as the passenger side, and I really think there's a clocking issue with the motor for the driver's step.
Could I ask some to take a few pictures of their factory power step on the driver's side as retracted and post? Straight at the power step from the side of the truck at rocker level; looking down the power step from the front of the rear of it; and, any mid-angle that shows any gap to the rocker and body lip.
THANKS!!!
