Power Running Boards

[wallyuwl]

Anyone have issues with the factory power running boards in winter showing or icing up? Or other problems?

Can you take off the power running boards and put on regular ones?

No issues with mine so far.

No issues with ours after one winter. Time will tell I guess.

No issues here! One winter down. I make sure I keep the hinges clean when I can.

Like them, no issues except I wish they deployed a little faster..

Mine work perfectly, no issues at all

I have had them on and off over the years on all three of the big 3 half ton trucks. Only issue I ever had was large gravel getting lodged in the joints on the Chevy after 10 miles on a rutted dirt road. Always carried a large flat headed screwdriver to kick the gravel out and all was good.

Would be nice to know where everyone is from as well, and what they use to treat their roads with for winter snow/ice conditions. My main concern for being in NY is how much salt they use on our roads, seems to ruin most things over time. I have to take mine through the car wash regularly through winter to get salt off the body/underbody, hoping that will keep my boards mostly clear.

Still though, when you have something like this, I assume you can disable them?

I'll add that I am in Wisconsin. We get roads/buildup like shown in the picture above.

It would be nice to know if the running boards can be disabled if needed (either stay up or stay down), or even taken off so I could sell them and put on a pair of normal nerf bars.

We get that in Idaho too. All you have to do is put the running boards in the "store" mode and they will stay retracted.

Awesome, thanks for posting that.

I love mine.

Live in southern Alberta, had the truck a little over a year now.
No issues so far, worked perfect during the winter even with snow/road buildup on them.

Living in Texas, I'd fit into the OP's "other problems" (except for this past Feb....did not have the truck then) of which I have had none!! Really like them!

I had them on my 2019 Laramie and never had an issue in 2.5 years. I’m in SC so our winters are mild.

It's one of my favorite options, and zero issues with them. I'm in Colorado, and live 1.5 miles up a dirt road, so I was worried about dirt, rocks, snow and ice, but they work great.

I live north of Toronto, we get all the snow that doesn't fall in Toronto. Haven't had any issues with them yet. A lot less build up than I've had on past normal running boards.
