Cool man I appreciate any feedback he might be able to give...I'm highly experienced and have done several sets of AMPs, but I'm about ready to rip these off, literally, and mail them back in pieces to AMP...

 

Sounds like they should just swap them out and send you new idler linkages. That's a pretty bad gap. Is there a lot of play in the idler? mine was fairly stiff. When held in my hand, it would drop to fully extended under it's own weight, but slowly.

I installed Amp Research Power Steps on my GMT900 recently and will never own another truck without them.

I have the same issue on my wife's truck hitting the parking brake, I thought it was from having the body lift on it and yours is way off level for sure, ours is not that far off its only a 1/16" I checked it again.

What about the 6-8" piece of rubber that your supposed to put around the parking brake assembly? Mine hit also, but the with the rubber wrap, it's a non issue.

I did use the rubber, but your not "suppose" to have too on the 1500 Crew Cabs according to the directions. I figured mine hit due to the body lift, since it had to be adjusted for it, which puts it in a different location then the stock adjustment. Easy fix... I was just surprised he had an issue with a stock truck and apparently you did too?

The drivers side rear bracket lines up directly with the parking brake assembly. When the steps are up, the bracket does hit the brake assembly. I don't recall reading that I didn't need it due to me having a crew cab.

Does anyone have or has anyone seen the N-Fab steps (the regular ones) with the textured finish? I ordered some about a month ago and they still haven't arrived. Waiting on a sales rep. from the place I ordered them from to call me back to see what the delay is. If it's going to be a lot longer, I may just get the powdercoated steps and be done with it. But I would like to know if anyone has any experience with the textured ones and if they are worth waiting for.

I'd get the powder coated steps then have them linex them.

Anyone have any pictures of the nFabs off the truck, and then how they mount? I may just build my own...

They all basically look the same... just do some image searching on google. If I still have my directions I'll scan them and post them up but I think I threw them away(they weren't even for the right truck but they got me started).

Looks like the mount up to the same locations as the AMP steps from the previous picture posted.

Its a very simple design, I'm sure you could makes some and even make them look better/more functional.

I looked on Amazon right after you posted that. The part that Amazon is selling is listed as C1489CC. The textured finish that I ordered is C1489CC-TX.

      Hit mid 90's today. Even at the boarder of Canada and up by Duluth it was in the 90's. Going to be like this all week. Sure it's nothing like the south seeing 100's but they do say it's a different kind of heat here with all the lakes/water and humid days.

      It's a '21 and was a CPO with extended protection when purchased, so hopefully it will be covered.   I supposedly have all of it's service record history and nothing noted other than routine fluid changes, tire rotations, and the windshield washer nozzles replaced once.

      LCA bolts

      By newdude · Posted

      I would argue that GMPartsDirect has that info wrong.    The service manual for R+R the lower arm and for adjusting camber/caster, none of the steps say to discard and replace the nut or the bolt.    The only part that gets discarded is the plastic cam adjustment retainer that is in the eccentric from the factory.     The LCA nut torque spec is:  First Pass: 180 Y (133 lb ft) Final Pass: 90 –105 Degrees   That is WELL past 130ft.lbs per the TSB that you reference that does not apply to this scenario.     As for your clunk.  I'd say it needs to be diagnosed thoroughly.  Assuming the LCA hardware is tight, you could have a problem with the UCA, sway bar end links, etc.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The filtering to wear relationship goes like this:      'Relative Engine Life "Factor" new divided by the factor old. So 8/3= 2.67. That result is the multiplier thus if a motor had an effective life of 100K using a filter with a 45 micron rating at a Beta ratio of 75 then a filter with a micron rating of 10 at a Beta of 75 would improve expected engine life to 267,000 miles.    Wear metals are an indirect indicator. Less is better and the motor lives longer but there isn't a multiplier like there is for filtration so well documented. Most of that has to do with the sensitivity of the wear metals tests themselves. They read a 'slice' of the spectrum but not the absolute values for the entire spectrum. So a general indicator that is used WITH the results of other tests. Two others considered in this post. Trending is very important.    There is also the influence of corrosive wear which may be seen in the wear metals but separate from load based or viscosity mitigated indication. It's a small graph but the gray line is wear vs the TBN/TAN crossover. Not as useful as it used to be as there are now new chemistries for acid remediation that don't show up in standard UAO testing. They will catch up or be found liars. Only two possible outcomes, eh?
