OEM Power Steps

can these be added to trucks that weren’t ordered with them? I know on my wife’s Yukon, there is a switch built into the trim to operate hers and wasn’t sure on the 19’s. Thx

Yes they can be depending on which model / version you are referring to.

19 Laramie sport

Yes, do you have the 12” screen ? From what my dealer tells me with that they can flash so that you can operate it via the screen.

I’m definitely loving the look of the Sport, but know that what I have is more then what I need lol.

I have the steps and the 8.4 inch screen and you can control the steps via the touch screen. PLus I found out that if you are standing next to the door and the steps start to deploy you can wave your foot under the step and it will fold back up.

check out the amp research power steps.. I had them installed on mine. They are controlled thru the OBD II port so no wiring splices. When you open the door they activate, close it they fold back up. Can't see them when they are not deployed. I love them.

Those will not work on the new 19. They are completely different, AMP said they will have them available by November.

Not sure if that is true or not. My dealer flashed my computer after getting mine installed, and I don't have any controls on my screen.

 

[DRkNESS]

^^^. It’s only sadly what I was told.

Honestly, I’m hoping your guy was right and mine wrong. But that’s why I’m saying I’m not sure if it is true.

See now that’s what’s wrong with FCA, why is it that all of these dealers are not fed from the same soup bowl ? I can understand it parts wise as each dealer is set up to legally rob us with their markups and I get that. Hence even though I could have found my hood cheaper, shipping it would have been my issue.

^^^^^^ They all feed from get in your guts soup bowl!!

Does anyone know what brand the factory powered running boards are?
Please don't say "Mopar"; but if you do say "Mopar" then who (sub-contractor) sourced it?

My understanding is that the Ram Box, the spray-on bed-liner, the powered boards, etc are all sent out to be done, by subcontractor(s), a little bit down the road from the factory. Not the factory-proper.

The reason I ask if we can identify the origins of the powered factory running boards is I didn't get them from the factory and now I want them. BUT... to maximize compatibility and minimize the law of unintended consequences (and "Murphy"), and not have some installer do extraneous drilling of my frame, I was hoping to get "factory" powered boards as an "aftermarket" addition. Because the factory pwoered running boards are known good - third party would be unknown territory.
