I removed the passenger running board in the hoe, replaced the bent brackets with some eBay ones and reinstalled it. It still has a dent but at least it’s not pushed in. The brackets had to have new holes drilled but they worked. Must be 2 different types, the ones with 2 holes where they attach to the running boards and ones with one hole. Anyway looks way better.

I don't suppose that the "step" part of the running board could be flipped around so the dent is on the inside? Knowing you, you already looked into that. But in the off chance... ;)

Nope. It’s shaped different inside/ outside. It’s an oval but the outside is a bigger diameter than the inside. And the step pads wrap down the front, you can see it in this picture.

I’ve got a few things coming up to do to the Tahoe now. Arnott rear shocks coming from Rock Auto, oil change and send a sample to Blackstone, Pioneer from The Beast is going in after I build the wiring harness and program the interface I bought from Crutchfield, and hopefully remove the dash to repair the cracks with the hot stapler I just bought. Weather has been crap lately and parts are still coming in. Wednesday’s weather is looking good so I’ll start then. :cool:

What interface did you get? That Maestro you have is great, but some expensive.

I bought the Crux GS-GM29 for $99. The Maestro was way more. I just got it pre-wired to an aftermarket Pioneer harness so I could leave all the wiring in the Denali as is and be able to swap it back in easily. I was dumb and threw the harness that came with the new Pioneer away a few months ago when I installed it because the old harness that was in the truck was the same. Anyway wiring the two harnesses together was straightforward, all the color codes were the same between except a couple wires. Tomorrow I’ll install the stereo and make sure everything works. I like the new Pioneer because with no disc mechanism it is small enough to fit the Crux on top of it. There’s not much room in the dash to stuff more in.
