Found: Mopar factory installed flat wheel to wheel running boards

Edit 11/12; Still looking. Turns out the set the dealership that ordered the set I found were for a Mega Cab, so these don't fit my CC. I need to return these and go through the struggle again of finding the correct part. In the meantime, let me know if you have a set for a decent price or know where I can find a new or used set and I'll be interested. Fitment is for a 2025 2500 CCSB I'm located near Corpus Christi, TX. Thanks! Ed

Longshot, but any chance you have part numbers or any info for other lengths? I'm looking for the same, but for a CCLB. 2019 if that matters. Thanks!

I believe I do. I'll have to get that for you. Oddly enough, the steps I originally received were too long for my truck. They actually were touching the wheels. I'm not sure if they were for the Mega cab or for the LB. It appeared that the mounting points lined up, just the rear portion was longer than what is required for the CC. Either way, I'll get that part number and you can check with your local parts department to see if they fit your truck.

Part # 68361680AA, RGT Step. I didn't write down the left. I'd venture to say it's 68361681AA. I called and the parts dept. at the time and they found the corresponding part # for the left side.. It appears there are 3 size of these steps. Cab, Length, Wheel to Wheel for CC and a longer versions that seems to fit both Mega Cab and LB. Double check though.

It appears in the photo generator on the Ram site, the LB WTW steps are just short of the fender arch. Where as the MC reaches all the way.

Several dealers have told me that the automatic power side steps can not be removed from the computer system. They offered no solution for the dash warning that the steps need service, even though I now have permanent non moving side steps on my truck.

"Ram Cares" advised me that they would escalate the issue when I made an appointment with a certified service center. I made the appointment and notified "Ram Cares" as to the date, time, location, and phone number. However, "Ram Cares" is just a name and they do not really care....at least "Ram Cares" did not contact the dealer. The dealer told me they could not remove the warning and no one from "Ram Cares" contacted them to instruct as to the procedure and the dealer add that it can not be done. The dealer said they could only remove the auto side step instructions in the computer if they were put into the program by mistake.

The warning still gongs and the dash states "Warning side steps need service...." when ever I slow down to 10 mph or so".

The good news is that my brain has adapted to "tune it out" and I do not notice it anymore, unless I am looking for it.

The steps on my truck in the photo cost $230. and took less than 30 minutes to swap out.

My truck doesn't have power running boards. I believe you replied the same to me in another thread regarding this.

Sorry... this issue continues so I continue my comments when the forum sends me an update to the comments. The next time the forum sends an update, I will check to see if the update is yours and I will not reply if it is......

Appreciate all the info thank you very much! Should be exactly what I need to go forward with this.

Great. You're welcome. Hope it works out for ya. Just be sure to get the correct hardware. I was given bad info originally and had to order two different sets before I figured out the correct set. What I posted above will work. Make sure they're flange bolts.

You can turn if off with AlphaOBD.. Try this (compliments of Jimmy007) I did this since I removed my drivers side step and left the passenger side intact and I was getting the EVIC warnings every few minutes.

Also, you will need 12x M10-1.5 rivet nuts, hex or round. Hex would prob be more suitable. I did use round and they were solid when installed.
