Review on Front Left Power Running Board Motor Assembly: Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon 2007-2014 (5-Pin Replacement) by Tyrell Hudson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So close to perfect.

2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV. Ease of installation. Works well. At first I just ordered a replacement engine. I couldn't detach the old motor from the bracket and eventually broke. That's a much better idea. Problem one: The original device has a plastic screen held in place by two screws. The holes in this block were drilled too large and unthreaded. I had to improvise and drill smaller and deeper holes and find new screws. Possible problem number two: After assembly, the footrest seems to be crooked. The back seems to arch a little. Not sure if it is related to that front motor mount or my installation skills. In case you're wondering, the cause of the original unit's failure was a cracked plastic worm gear. Plastic, thanks GM.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
