Because the person who bought a 2012 Avalanche wanted to install painted mudflaps and it won't fit with power assist steps. Selling it cheap too.

Are you sure that the GM painted flaps for running board equipped trucks won't fit? I know that they fit w/ the standard boards.

Oddly enough the retractable side steps are one thing that has worked without issue. They get great looks in parking lots. I honestly do not like the look of the stock boards.

I also noticed that the LTZ's that I looked at with the retracts did not have DVD systems in them. I added a 10" DVD aftermarket fairly cheap though.

I have a 2015 crew cab Z71. I bought GM powered running boards off a guy that had a 2013 LTZ. Do I just need a wiring harness to make them work on my truck or will I need to hardwire them? Any information would help

I have a 2015 silverado and bought some power running boards off a guy with 2013 LTZ avalanche. Do I need a wiring harness to make it work and do I HAVE to hardwire it. Any help is appreciated

hope it fits for you as 13 to 15 are different body styles.

you will have to hardwire the steps which will need to be wired for power, grd and door ajar signals.

We bought a 2014 Yukon Denali in November, had these, kept hitting us in the shins. It turned out that there is a switch on the dash to disable those, couldn't find that information in the owner's manual at all, took a fuse out to disable them before online help here told me about the switch.

So make sure you really want and need these !
