Anyone had problems with power running boards in snowy/icy conditions? I'm in Michigan with winters that can get pretty bad.

In CT and we had a ton of rain that turned into ice on monday, almost an inch thick in places on my GF's car. The only issue with the ram was that they were a little slick getting in and out.

I would imagine since the trucks are designed and engineered in Auburn Hills, Michigan they would be able to withstand the harshest of winters. I wouldn't be worried one bit about them.

I've had a couple times where the step did not auto deploy when opening the door this winter. Both times I shut the door and reopened it and the step deployed.

I'm near Detroit, we had a bid of snow this morning. Lots of ice build up from driving around. No problems.
