TOOLS REQUIRED WRENCH/RATCHET TORQUE WRENCH CLAMP 21mm, 13mm, 3/8", 7/16" TIN SNIPS 1 There is a difference in the bracket mounting between the gas and the diesel version of this truck. If your vehicle is a Chevy HD diesel with a DEF tank, start here with step one for installing the brackets. If your vehicle is not, proceed to step 4 for installing the brackets.
2 Remove the bolt from the body shock mount at each of the mounting locations using a 21mm socket. REMOVE BOLT 3 Put the body shock mount bolt through the hole in the brace [D] and thread it back into the body shock mount. Align the braces so that they are perpendicular to the side of the vehicle. Tighten the bolts to 44 ft-lbs plus another half turn. The driver's side is shown. The front of the vehicle is to the left of the pictures.
4 Locate the bracket mounting locations on the inside of the rocker panel. Shown below is the driver side of the crew cab. The front of the vehicle is to the right side. NOTE: For regular cab trucks there will not be a middle mounting location. Depending where your vehicle was manufactured, the front and middle top mounting locations may have weld nuts instead of open hole. If this is the case, the bolt will thread into the weld nut and the clip will not be used.
5 Install the 8mm U-nut [F] in all of the mounting locations, unless there is a weld nut. 6 Thread an 8mm bolt [E] part way into all of the top mounting locations. If your vehicle has the weld nut in the front and middle locations, thread the bolt part way into the weld nut.
7 Slide the open end of the slot in the driver side brace [B] over the 8mm bolt. Attach the bottom mounting location using the 8mm bolt [E]. Tighten the 8mm bolts using a 13mm wrench. Repeat this for all of the mounting locations. Repeat these step on the passenger side using the passenger side bracket [C]. If you have an HD diesel and installed the brace in steps 1-3, then you will only use bracket [C] in the middle and rear locations. The middle passenger location will be right next to the DEF tank.
4 Place the bulb-seal gasket [H] onto the backlip of the runing board [A]. Cut the bulb-seal gasket with tin snips so that it is flush with the ends of the board 5 Loosely attach the mud flap [G] to the end of the running board using the 1/4" x 3/4" hex head bolt [J], the 1/4" flat washer [L], and the 1/4" hex nut [M]. Snug the bolts, but do not completely tighten at this time.
6 Place the running board on the braces with the bulb seal up against the bottom of the vehicle. BULB SEAL AGAINST Align the board with the vehicle and make sure that the mud flap is up against the wheel well.
7 Using the slots in the brace as a guide, drill a 1/4" hole at each mounting location. Clamp the board to the brace to hold it in position. 8 Attach the running board to the angle brace using the 1/4" x 1" ribneck carriage bolt [I], 1/4" flat washer [L], and 1/4" hex nut [M]. Tighten using a 7/16" wrench or deep well socket.
9 10 Pressing the flap up against the wheel well, drill two 3/16" holes through the hole in the mud flap into the sheet metal of the wheel well. Attach the mud flap to the wheel well using two sheet metal screws [K] with a 3/8" socket. Repeat for the rear of the board. Check all hardware to make sure it has been tightened. Repeat the assembly steps for the other side of the vehicle.
