Just a double check. The new amp p/n 76154-01A includes the OBDII plug in but does not include the pass-though harness correct?

Correct. I had to order my passthru harness separately. Ordered it from Realtrucks.com.

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

Interested in plug and play / LED lit AMP power steps. That said, while I realize they have a warranty, I want to ensure they will survive New England winters without fail or aesthetic problems....any input on long term owners? Perhaps I'll wait another year or so.

Just put on the NFAB textured black step bars today and they look great! If I knew how to post photos using iPhone I would post pic but it's only my 2nd post so I don't know how.

Think it worked?

I installed my AMP steps finally!

I used the plug and play kit as well as installed my own lighting. The lights are 7" led COB bars and they are quite bright. Now I just need to do my headlights to match the color haha

That looks good. I still cant decide which leds to use for mine... this helps though.

 

Thank you. These are the lights that i purchased if you're interested: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251525211640?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

There are almost pure white in color. The pictures seem to have a light blue hue to them however. I'm thinking that when i finally do my projector retro fit and HID's, that the colors will be pretty much identical. Fingers crossed anyways.

 

Edit: here is a short video I took last night of the step operation. You can see the light better here than in a picture.

Thanks for the links and video. I am thinking of trying this for lights, post-128100-0-10036300-1408750008_thumb.jpg

Just a strip of weatherproof LEDs. I thought of running them the whole length of the boards. If not, those you have look to be a great second option.

I was going to do those as well but I didn't know if the light would be directed at all or if it would be a clean spread like the bars. I looked at some pictures of the bars on at night and made a choice. Let me know if those work better and if so I'll redo mine lol

Has anyone with the AMP steps installed them without drilling the hole for the harness to pass through to the cab? Was wondering if anyone found a convenient access point that might already exist on the firewall, etc.

Actually, when you pull the carpet up to drill a hole per the directions, where it tells you to drill, there is a rubber grommet pass through about three inches from that spot that already has wires. Why they don't just tell you to poke a hole and pass through there, don't know... Just be sure to seal it good with a dab of silicone or something.

That seems a lot easier to seal up an extra, small hole in an existing grommet than drilling through sheet metal and chancing rust.

I bought a set from Auto Accessories Garage on July 5th. I finally had a guy start the installation today at a local truck accessory place. They have done quite a few. The guy called me back about an hour later and said that the ones I had (76154-01A) did not have the plug and play feature, just the original style. I've called AAG and they are supposed to be fixing it and sending me the missing stuff that my guy needs. Hopefully I'll have them installed by the weekend.

 

I did get the rear drop shackles installed and it has evened out and looks better.

Well, my Amp PowerSteps developed a clunk sound on the drivers side. The front bracket was very loose and after tightening it up, the clunk is gone. Decided to check the other brackets and found all bolts were loose, even the motor mount screws. Tightened all to AMP's torque specs and all is quiet and secure...happy now!

 

I guess my installer worked too fast after all! Word to the wise...always check your installers work!

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
