Default Adding Power Deployable Running Boards

Curious to know if someone here has successfully added these boards to their trucks. If so, what wiring harnesses/modules/Forscan tweaks needed for install. If you could share the part numbers, that'd be awesome! If someone have free time to take a peak under the body and where the harnesses lead into plus part #, that'd be super awesome!

Please, no discussions about Amp>OE power boards as I'm well aware of it, and they don't make harnesses to make OE work.

TIA!

Thank you! I appreciate this... I searched for this thread, but I only came close with similar responses/user accounts and end up not being able to do the whole mod.

I was hoping someone would get this working. If anyone needs help with the wiring let me know. I would imagine the wiring won't be there and would have to run your own and do some programming changes too. I believe there is a module that needs to be added too.

yes your right. the PRB has two connectors but only one pigtail is available.


looks pretty simple to wire up. power/ground and ms can. then sensors and trigger wires going to the power running boards.

Yes it is possible. I am the op of the thread and utilized amp research components. Mainly for ease on installation and price. If you need any help with this, feel free to send me a pm

What's the logic here? Go through more trouble, probably more money and more time for an inferior outcome?

The logic here is to make it much easier for my little ones to come up and down the truck.

Another is accessibility when I choose to lift it to 4 or 6in.

Lastly, is aesthetics.
