Two questions.

 

Does any run the Ranch Hand steps, the 4 or 6 on their new sierra or silverado. I cant find many pictures, they look a lot better than the nfab's, I could barely fit my shoe for leverage on the nfabs and I have a size 11.

 

How much was your install on the AMP powersteps? I have a local larger custom truck place that will do it for $200 install and $1149 +tax on the actual product.

As a heads up, I'd look at quality bumper online for the steps. They have a 15% off coupon and free shipping. Also, no sales tax if you're not in AZ. I got mine through them for 970ish. I can't say for certain if they have the new p&p model, but I'd contact them. They were quick to answer emails and calls from me earlier. The savings could cover your install fee and some beer money.

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

So this place is legit to order from? I have no clue if that install price it for the regular kit or the other if they would charge more or not, especially not buying it from them. I am going to ask that tomorrow.

My AMP powersteps were $1249 installed. Lowest price in the KC area. Black Jack Truck Accessories.

Bad ass, perfect timing. I know you have them now but honestly have you compared them in person with nFabs? I am curious how much heavier they look and feel. I owe you a huge one asking but is there anyway you can take a side photo down your truck, I wanted to see how far they stick out and a picture level to the boards. I am trying to see how much of a foot step there is. That is my complaint with the nfab, my foot doesn't have a lot of room on it. One last thing, is there a reason why not the 6 step? I am leaning to that as I like that for the back bed step. Thanks a ton man!

 

Also what type rims are those, the all terrain ones from an angle? They look a lot more gray.

According to Rand Hand (they opened up a shop here in Cedar Park) nFab makes these for them. The big difference is the step is a lot deeper and wider than nFabs. They do make a 6-step but I don't like the looks. I got lucky because there is a 4-6 week back order for them and they just got this one in today. I will take pictures tomorrow, Those are the Black AT's, the reason they look grey is that we final got some rain today and I've been on the road driving in it.

Here is a side picture and step measurement.

Awesome man, thank you so much for taking the time to do that. I pick up my denali tomorrow so when I get back from beach I have the big decision of either these or the amp powersteps. Do you know if they look more solid or are thicker metal if you have seen the nFabs in person. Just curious the difference or since they were built the same they are except the steps.

I have not seen the NFabs in person for the truck only on a ford truck and it seems like the Rand hand has a thicker main tube and step tubing.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By newdude · Posted

      You need a better code reader/scanner.  You are missing codes.  Did the dealer give you a copy of the SAVI scan from that visit?     If the fluid hasn't been changed, change it.  Shudder will likely go away.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By newdude · Posted

      TLDR to my other post...   Hard. Pass.  Too many what ifs.     Are you set on a 3.0 Duramax?  Have you considered anything not GM just in case?  If you don't have to have a pickup, lots of other options for $27,000 out there.

      I see some red flags.   - No mention in the Carfax if the oil pump belt was changed.  LM2s had a 150,000mi service interval, and its got 164,245mi on it.  So right out the gate it needs about $3000-3500 for that to be done before driving it another 150,000mi.  Belt is at the rear of the engine.     - If something happens to the transmission valve body, the special coverage is expired by mileage.  That will likely be an out of pocket expense, with zero or near zero GM participation if something happened even though its in by time.   - 2020 LM2s seem to need timing chains after 80,000mi at some point.  They fixed this end of 2020/starting 2021 model year engines.  They will usually set a P0016 I think?  There is another $8000-10,000 if it needs a chain.  The main chain is at the back, secondary at the front so the pump belt would be done at the same time if it needed chains.     - Long oil change intervals.  7,000-8,000mi on average, probably close to 0% or perhaps to or beyond 0% on the OLM.  Lots of them not at the dealer which makes me wonder how much of the oil ran through that truck was the proper Dexos D rated 0w20 oil and not just gas engine 0w20, which is not the same at all.     - Long fuel filter changes, again likely taking the fuel filter life to 0% or more.  First one went 28,603, second was done 43,094 miles later at 71,697, from there another 46,452mi to 118,149mi, and then the most recent one 37,026mi later at 155,175mi.  So counting its original fuel filter, its had only 4 fuel filters on it.  No bueno IMO.         Good news?    - It has had only two warranty trips to the dealer.  The first free service (end of December 2020 on the Carfax), and the transmission reprogram recall (end of August 2025 on the Carfax).     - Truck did a LOT of moving, so that might explain the lack of emissions related repairs like bad NOX sensors, bad exhaust temp sensors, bad glow plugs, etc.         The "emissions system checked" could just be how something was flagged for Carfax.  GM dealers have to do SAVI reports for warranty repair orders so they scan the truck.  So its possible that is there for that?

      Thank you, @Z45!   NOTE - No all repair shop/Dealers reports to Carfax   That is my main concern.  The CARFAX looks way too clean for a 6 year old anything with 164,245 miles.  Even something known for reliability (like many Toyotas) typically has a lot more replaced, like a Nav screen, interior trim, shock/strut, or brake pads.  And surely the last set of tires (installed at ~58k miles) would be bald unless those were all highway miles.   I'm tempted to pay a local dealer to look up the VIN, but am not sure if that will be worthwhile.  Last time I did this, it was 100% useless, and I felt scammed - they noted the bumper was replaced years ago and that's it.  A 5-year old could spot the accident damage, even though nothing was on the CARFAX.   After giving the dealer a call, the truck may have a hard shift, but they have to verify with their mechanic if that's even a concern.  And I've test driven about a dozen of these now, many near Chicago, and half the trucks shift hard/odd at all throttle positions.  The ones with aftermarket lifts/larger tires shift terrible, and 3 stock trucks shifted so violently I thought the transmission valve body was going out.   At this point I'm conflicted, as I need a vehicle, and am coming up short locally.  Northern trucks in this price range tend to have either multiple owners, a lot of mods (lifts/oversized tires without re-gearing), and are generally in rougher shape.   If this truck showed up in your neighborhood for $27k and you had to purchase it sight-unseen, with the possibility of needing a 10L80 rebuild, torque converter, or rear end - would you do it?  I'm convinced most of the 10L80 trucks I test drove are broken, they can't all shift so bad, with massive flares/slipping/lurching and mis-matched downshifts like a teen driver learning stick.

      2027 GMC Sierra Spot Shots + Undisguised Interior (BIG Changes!)

      By Griffin Donovan · Posted

      From the spy shots, the front end does look like it's borrowing some styling cues from the Canyon. I'm more interested in the powertrain news than the screens though. If the 3.0 diesel survives into the next generation, that alone will keep a lot of current owners interested.
