THE FACTORY INSTALLED RUNNING BOARDS ARE UNSAFE. THE TREADS NEED TO BE LARGER, MORE AGGRESSIVE AND ROTATED 90^. AS THEY ARE THEY ARE SIMPLY SKID PADS WHEN WET OR FROZEN. YOU SIMPLY NEED TO TRY AND ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE AND SEE HOW EASILY YOUR FOOT SIDES OFF CAUSING THE PERSON THE FALL. I HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL SLIPS/FALLS. TODAY I HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD ON THE DOOR JAM. JUST ROTATING THE TREAD NINETY DEGREES WOULD HELP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE GMC 2500 HD ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH. THE LIGHTS ARE NOT ABLE LIGHT ROADS WITHOUT STREET LIGHTS, MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS. FUEL FILTER HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I ASKED WITH THE LIFE OF A FUEL FILTER SHOULD BE I WAS TOLD BY THE GMC DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 15,000 MILES. IT IS POSSIBLE THERE IS A MALFUNCTION WITHIN THE SENOR FOR THE FUEL FILTER.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
90% OF MY DRIVING IS AT NIGHT. I DRIVE ON MIXED ROADWAYS. I FIND THAT THE HEADLAMPS ON MY GMC SIERRA ARE INADEQUATE AT BEST. I BROUGHT THE SIERRA TO THE DEALER, WHO PERFORMED A TSB, AND ALTHOUGH IT IMPROVED THE LIGHTING, IT IS STILL WAY BELOW PAR. IT'S AS IF I'M DRIVING A 20 YEAR OLD CAR WITH YELLOWED OUT LENS COVER. IN RAINY WEATHER, THE HEADLAMPS ARE NONEXISTENT.
