Black Betty 2018 Z71 Silverado....build

dealer called me and they seem have found the electrical problem: bad Alternator

I have several aftermarket mods/accessories installed so GM wouldn't cough up for the 2hrs diagnostic time but they did cover the alternator.

the tech wrote:

voltage spiking bcm opening ignition relay, remainder of entertainment and information modules erratic communication, found 100-800mil second 18+voltage spike with cold engine operation, isolated.

I just picked it up and on the drive home it worked fine, I am going to take a nice long road trip on Sunday and I will report back if the problem returns.

and the 2nd set of running boards arrived, box had a big chunk missing but looks like everything survived this time so I will try to get them on tomorrow.

Driver's side is loose fit on, takes about 25 bolts per side, and 50 washers lol takes a little time about hour per side I guess, a couple of the fittings take a sleeve bolt and they obviously measured before applying the powder coat so you have to work those in and that takes a few minutes each, but so far so good

Looking good. I like that the step ups are square and not round tube.

Another unexpected thing, the rear step hanger requires you to use a factory bolt and the adapter is not wide enough for the factory attached washer so had to grind the washer flat on each side so it would fit

Finished product, took me about 3 hours, had to spend some time tightening 50 bolts, messed up one lock washer but there are extras I will replace it later that was a workout

Sheesh...hard to believe there’s 50 bolts! Looks good!
Nice lookin’ wheels. Are those the Mavericks? What’s the offset?
