I really like them, the snow and ice sometimes stops them that's understandable and the lights don't always work I haven't looked at them yet but yes we love them thank you

I would confirm that the LED connection is plugged in. Inspect the LED and wiring harness for damage. If it looks okay, test the LED functionality by applying 12 volts directly to the LED. If the LED will not turn on when connected, it will need to be replaced with item # AA2090204.

Its working great I just got to change the lights the one wont turn off



by:

Great product! Harness is a little short on the line going to the brain. Units mount easily , would be more secure if the slots on the brackest were holes instead of slots. Works great ... Love to show it off!!! I keep getting comments and compliments.



by:

Very glad I purchased these! They make entry and exit of the vehicle easy!
They look great on the truck also!
I recommend these to everyone who needs a quick and comfortable way to get in and out of their truck!

I liked the idea of a two step running board. My wife has had operations
on her knees and was difficult for her to get into her jeep with the
standard side steps. I started looking for powered steps and these
sounded like just the ticket. There was some fabrication involved,
because I installed them on a 2000 TJ Wrangler, but nothing too crazy. I
used some 3/16" flat bar and sandwiched it between the body mounts. In
retrospect, I should have used C channel for the longer front mount,
because I had to weld gussets on it. Welded a piece of angle to the
flat bar for the supplied mounts. If you don't have a welder, it could
all be bolted in with the C channel.
I also didn't care for the supplied magnets and switches held on with
tape to operate the steps. We hit up the u-pull-it wrecking yard and got
the same style switch that operates the dome lights and I installed them
above the original switches.
I put the door delete bypass in the housing for the front speakers on
the dash.
They have been installed for about two months now and we've had no
problems with the operation. Lots of likes from our friends who see them
in operation.



by:

4.5* actually. Overall, I really like these. They are a good price and they look nice. Some of the brackets had to be bent a little bit to get them to line up correctly, but it wasn't bad. I've actually purchased these twice! I sold the first vehicle, but immediately bought these for the better optioned vehicle I traded up for. NOTE - DO NOT buy the door delete kit that can be added to this. It's a waste of money that overrides the basic automatic functionality on a daily basis. The basic kit includes an on/off switch already.



by:

Very good steps, but the light "flickers" on/off on 1 side and stays on all the time on the opposite side! Doesn't really matter because they aren't bright enough to help in the dark!



by:

Several concerns with this step. First is the design: The concept of two steps is so you can use two steps. However, the position that these rails attach to the truck makes them near level to the truck floor board which makes this step near useless. The second (lower) step is undependable when deploying and the angle at which it deploys means you have to step past the first to get in or out of the truck. So weird. This creates an awkward angle when getting in and out of the truck. When installing you must ensure the magnets are lined up perfectly. Even the slightest misalignment causes the lower rail to malfunction. The advertisement says these are maintenance free. This is not sure, you must routinely use a graphite lubricant on them. One step literally fell apart and they had to send another. We soent hours on the phone with their support team trying to diagnose why the seconds deployed erratically. The LED lights were a huge problem and turned on and off at intermittent times, even when parked. Very distracting for the neighbors. The third set of lights finally seem to be functioning correctly. When all said and done, after all the issues, they seem to be working fine, but again, the angle on which they deploy are not functional. If I had it all to do over, I’d never buy a deployable running board. They’re just a electric maintenance mess.



by:

Steve with TekRV, a mobile RV mechanic, out of Galveston did the installation. Everything went according to the instructions. Looks and works great. Co-pilot is happy, I am estatic.



by:

best looking running board! the ability to step on it to access roof rack is amazing and there is only one other competitor that does that. THIS IS NOT A ROCK SLIDE! But as a certified mall crawler this is great for the ladies and kids jumping in



by:

The running boards have worked perfectly. the closed height is unobstructive for normal 4x4 use and the down position makes entry and exit easy even for persons with dexterity problems.
the light package is adequate for front and rear doors.
Installation went well, leave all bolts loose until mounted then tighten seems to make it easy.
I would highly recommend.



by:

Seems like an excellent product. Etrailer makes things so easy, great software, terrific customer service and reliable shipping.



by:

They are working as advertised, which is good for an old man. Service after the sale was great.



by:

Great product. Good fit, runs well with the body lines. Very clean install.



by:

I order these for my 2022 Chevy 2500 they had them is stock and came fast. Very good fit bolted right on. It took me about 3 hours in my driveway to install them. They are about 12” off the ground when deployed. I like the 2 steps design very helpful. They look very nice and are built strong.



by:

Fantastic product
Got running boards
on and went very easy and I’m 71 years old
Going to tackle the wiring harness this morning



by:

The running boards arrived sooner than expected and customer service is great. The website could be better to see and understand what exactly you’re buying. Haven’t been able to install them yet, had to order extra parts. Downgrade one notch due to website.



by:

I have to say I was a little bummed when UPS showed up with my running boards and the box was destroyed so I refused delivery called etrailer up they said no problem and my new ones were here in 4 days, on a Holiday weekend mind you, customer service is second to none I highly recommend purchasing from etrailer



by:

Running Boards are exactly as advertised. Simple to install as long as you follow the instructions.



by:

I finally got them installed and they are wonderful. My wife has arthritic knees and it was very difficult for her to get in the Jeep. With these Motorized Running Boards she can now get in effortlessly.



by:

Perfect fit and super easy to install.



by:

These steps work very well. The installation of the bars are one of the most easiest I have seen. I have installed other brands and they took much longer. All the holes lined up as expected. The wiring is not for the faint at heart. We had to take the back seat out of the Colorado and peel back the carpet to run the wiring. The instructions were straight forward and easy to follow.
After owning these for a year they are still working like the day we put them on. We have had a few issues with the end caps of the walk boards being faded by the sun and turning white. The driver side light began blinking when the door was opened. I contacted the company and they sent me new end caps, stated that they had a bad batch sent to them that were not UV free and they sent a new light. I replaced the light and still have the problem. But the company appears to work well on warranty items. Only reason I did not give the the full 5 stars is due to the end caps fading and the light began blinking. Other wise I would purchase these again. They are not cheap by any means but are of a good quality.



by:

Look good, functions well but an extremely difficult install.



by:

After spending close to $xxxx, the first box was never received. Contacting etrailer was frustrating in that a true status of the second box could not be obtained until UPS sent a delivery notice. This resulted in having to change an installation appointment that took 4 weeks to get. Second, this shipment weighted close to 50 pounds and etrailer shipped the box, that is 6.5 feet long, that was held together by the equivalent of SCOTCH TAPE. The contents were spilling out of the box when the driver delivered the box. Needless to say etrailer really needs to get your staff together and just think about how your clients merchandise is handled once it’s in the hands of UPS

  • Motorized Running Boards for a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD CrewCab Diesel
    I do have a set of motorized running boards for your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD CrewCab Diesel but the Bestop PowerBoard NX Motorized Running Boards part # B7562315 will only fit models with the gas engine. Instead, you will want to take a look at the Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards part # AA3047902 which does fit models with the diesel engine. The main difference between the PowerBoard and ActionTrac is the placement of the motor. The ActionTrac has the motor secured up...

  • Troubleshooting Aries ActionTrac Not Working
    The first thing I would do is check your power switch on your # AA3047902. If the switch was turned off that would explain why they aren't functioning. After that, go ahead and double check the sensors and make sure they are plugged in with a good connection. From there, check your wiring. You can use a circuit tester like the # PTW2993 to check for power. If there is no power you can trace the wire back while inspecting it for damage and repair as necessary. It would also be a good idea...

  • Troubleshooting Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Board Not Working On Passenger Side
    As you only have the passenger side not working it sounds like their is either damage to the wiring or the step motor. First you will want to use a Test Light # PTW2993 to check for power on the harness of the Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards # AA3047902. If you do not have power at the motor then you will need to follow along the harness to the control board checking for where it loses power. If there is still no power at the control board check the connector to ensure it is not...

  • Troubleshooting Aries Steps Retracting Intermittently or Not Retracting
    It sounds to me like the sensors are bad. To check for a bad sensor, disconnect the sensor and check for continuity with a multimeter like # PT89ZR. The sensor is normally a closed switch and should have continuity without the magnet present and should not have continuity when the magnet is placed near the sensor. Replacement sensors would have to be acquired directly from Aries.

  • Why Would Different LEDs Installed on Actiontrac Aries Boards Stay Lit Up All the Time
    What's interesting about LED lights is that since they draw such a low amount of amperage they can sometimes light up if there's just a tiny bit of bleed through current on the power circuit that previously wasn't seen. I would check to see if the lights get brighter or dimmer at any point when in use and if so that would confirm this. You could also probe the wires or contacts that power the lights to see if they have voltage all the time and if so how much. It seems like they do based...

  • 2020 Jeep Wrangler Aries ActionTrac Running Boards Won't Retract on Driver's Side Only
    Thank you for your purchase directly from etrailer of the Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards # AA3036571. If the driver's side step won't retract the issue could be a sensor somehow got dirty or moved so try wiping it with an alcohol wipe. The other issue could be a magnet got misaligned. Per the manal, to test that, have only one door sensor connected, and if the board doesn't close, the alignment is off. Thank you again for purchasing the # AA3036571 the from etrailer.
