I have a 2023 Yukon Denali 3.0L with powered running boards. Was able to just buy it off the lot near Portland, OR (shout out to GMC of Beaverton!). I live in a town that uses gravel/cinder to help with traction during the snowy months and it is well known that this stuff will just chew through your paint. I am already seeing signs of micro scratches underneath the chrome belt line on the lower section of the doors. I tried getting some OEM mudguards front and rear from GMPartsDirect.com and they say they won't fit with because the OE powered running boards may interfere. Has anyone had any luck fitting these on their Denali with the powered running boards or does anyone have an alternative? I already have plans to get that lower section polished up and ppf'd, but would appreciate any info you guys may have. Thanks in advance!

Attached a photo to prove these diesel Denalis aren't vaporware...haha.

Weathertech or husky
Welp, that was easy, thanks! Wasn't sure if either of those would be able to deal with the power steps, but they both have options for it on their configurator. Any chance anyone has experience with either?

I put weathertechs on our slt (fixed running boards) and it made a MASSIVE difference in how clean the vehicle stays now. Was filthy all the time without them with mud and crap shot up all over the sides. Took about 10 minutes to install front and rear

Weathertech, as mentioned. Installed them yesterday. Had them on my 2016 Tahoe and they did an amazing job keeping the spray and kickup to a minimal.

Yeah, this is the one thing of weathertech I have that I really like. Rest of their stuff not so great in my opinion.
but these mudflaps rock!

Agreed. Their floor mats are junk, at least the 2nd row ones that roll up on the edges

How do these attach? 3M tape? Just wondering difference between this and PPF for lowers. I’m sure biggest difference is cost and how visibly clean vs actual paint protection

Here is a thread that I posted for this exact same thing, the weather tech work fine with the powered running boards.

These are mounted with the existing fasteners that are used for the wheel liner,

I got new fasteners for the front set. Reused the fasteners in the rear set.
The kits also come with a tiny piece of ppf to protect the area where the mud flap overlaps paint. Nice touch from WeatherTech.

I have a 2022 Yukon Denali with the powered running boards. I installed Weathertech mudflaps. They fit great and do not interfere with the running boards.

weather tech mud guards are a perfect fit.... Just be sure they know it's for power retractable. I have a set and they are GREAT !
