Best lube, IMO for Power running boards is...............

?? OK, I am not fully understanding 'how' to deploy the running boards.
1. Do you open the door to get boards deployed...first?
2. Then....go somewhere in my 'menu' choices to disable them from retracting??

or how..............

You go to the vehicle settings menu on the left hand side and then you keep drilling down until you find the running boards. Once there you have the choice of Auto, Off, or Deployed.

I ordered a can of the lube that @jeff kushner mentioned in the original post from Amazon. It will be here tomorrow then I'll go out and lube all of the pivot point that I can see.

Andy, please post back what points you were able to find that might not be obvious from above.

I will. The lube came yesterday and as soon as it warms up outside I'm got to go out there and spray lube on the pivot points.

Do you have a link to that running board thread? I might have to look into that.

Have to open up the pdf/pictures. He gives info on where to get replacement parts as well.

Hmmm, looks like the other PDF is missing. He had more details on which bearings he used.

That was great. I took the liberty of reorienting all of the pictures to make it easier to read.

So I’ve tried to put my powerboards into the deployed position in my menu yet they don’t stay deployed. I’ll put it in the menu and they will deploy, then I’ll start driving and they will retract. Ugh.
