Hey, guys, it's Sara with americantrucks.com and today we're doing a review and install of the Duratrek S6 Running Boards in Stainless Steel fitting your '14 through '18 Chevy Silverado 1500 double cab and crew cab. This is for the Silverado owner who's looking for a flat running board style step that's gonna provide a wider stepping surface and a more streamlined look. These running boards provide a 6-inch wide stepping surface and also feature these rugged non-slip step pads for safe footing in all weather. They also give you some extra side protection against door dings. These running boards feature stainless steel construction with a bright mirror-polished finish and these black non-slip step pads. All right, so as far as price, these come in around 375 which is low to middle of the road price-wise. And for your money, you're getting a nice wide step with a streamlined appearance that's gonna save you some money over more pricey options.So, as far as install I'm giving this one a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter, it does feature a direct bolt up installation with no drilling or cutting required on most models, and it can be done within two hours. So, with that said, let's jump right into our install. For this install, you will need an impact gun or a ratchet, an extension, and a 13-millimeter socket. All right, so the first step in our install is to get our brackets bolted up underneath the truck. Now, these are all identical aside from the passenger side front. And since we're starting on the driver side, let's grab four those brackets and let's get them bolted up. So, the first mounting point at the driver side front is right here. It's a threaded hole in the body and then a hole on the pinch weld. On the pinch weld, you're gonna install one of these clip nuts, just line it up with the opening. Take one of the included hardware and you're gonna want to use a washer and lock washer here as well and thread it in.Now we're gonna go up top to the threaded hole in the body and using the exact same hardware, install it up here. Moving on to our second mounting point, this one also has a threaded hole in the body and a hole on the pinch routes, so we're gonna install this bracket the exact same way. Now we are leaving these loose for now so that we can get our running board lined up properly, mounted down and then we're gonna tighten them down later. So, just kind of get them hand tight, just snug enough to hold the brackets in place and then we'll finish the process once the running board is installed. Moving on to our third mounting point, this one is gonna be a little bit different because we're gonna use two clip nuts in this situation. One over the pinch weld as before, the other one is gonna go into this larger hole and come out right here, and this is blocked off with plug, we can remove that this point.Again, we're just gonna leave these snug but not tight for now until we get our running board in place. Then you're gonna repeat that process on the very last mounting point right at the back of the driver's side. All right, now with our brackets in place, we can set the running board on top, you wanna get it in the neighborhood of where you wanna bolt it up and just make sure you keep it supported until you have the brackets installed. Okay, now with the step in place over top of the bracket you want to be about even over the surface, grab this part of the bracket, this bolt plate, slide it up and into your step. And once it's in place, grab a washer and lock not and get it threaded on. All right, now you go ahead and repeat that process with the remaining brackets. Install the last bracket and just a tip here you want to make sure these edges of the bracket are hooking into each edge on the step.It's possible to get the bracket all the way in place and not hook this edge, but just move it around a little bit until it catches exactly where it needs to be. Grab a 13-millimeter socket and you may want an extension for this bottom one. Let's tighten down the bolt on the pinch weld. Next up, tighten down the bolt a little bit higher on the body. Repeat that with the rest of the brackets. At this point, grab your 13-millimeter socket, we're gonna tighten down the nuts holding on our bolt plate to our step. Repeat that with the rest of the plates. So, there's still a ton of room for adjustability if you need to make any adjustments to your step forward and back. But once you have this all tightened down, repeat that process on the other side. All right, so that's gonna do it for the review and install of these running boards. Remember for all things Chevy keep it at americantrucks.com.

Running Boards 2016 Silverado Double Cab 1500
I like the boards themselves but the install was a bit frustrating. The passenger front bracket mount was different from the rest and i'm not sure why. The product was good but I was missing 2 brackets and the passenger front I could not get on because the instructions were not clear and was in two pieces. Other than that the product is great, I like the way they look and seem to be good quality. Im hoping they will send me the remaining brackets so I can get fully mounted.

Great product and easy to install
I’m very new to the DIY scene for vehicles. I purchased a new to me truck that did not have running boards. These are very good quality and was very easy for me to install. The hardest part was removing the plastic plugs from my truck. I would highly recommend these.

Great Look. Big convenience to have
I absolutely love these. They add a great look to my 2021 Trail Boss LT. I originally purchased a set of the NFab Step running bars which looked amazing but I found my foot would miss the step and they were just a small step and very easy to miss which would cause me to slip off. But these however are a significant improvement they look great and give me more than enough room to step up and down. I would highly recommend these. Install was pretty easy took me about 45 minutes a side.
