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

I found out what the steps on the reaper are. Southern comfort auto, maker of the reaper, messaged me saying they are Lund international Rock rails with steps

340 for the rails and 115 for 4 steps on realtruck. Not too bad. Good find. :thumbs:

I have no idea what to replace mine with. I have the factory, but one is damaged. I have the chrome, but I dondon't know if i want to stay chrome or go black. I lile the wide steps like the factory, but I would like to get something unique. Opinion greatly welcomed.

Honestly, Amps are the best way to go. No need to worry about them getting damaged while driving since they tuck up under the truck. I love mine. No issues. Best thing I have put on the truck IMO and will probably always be the best thing I ever did.

 

The wide amp steps make it much easier to get in and out and they really do drop to the perfect distance from the truck to make it easy to get in

 

Get them and you won't regret it!

with the nfabs, do you guys find the steps are in a good spot? they seem like they are kinda far forward. (im probably completely wrong but just have to ask)

They kind of look like the hoops are a little forward but they're not. If you open the door they're in the right spot for the space in front of the seats. I used to have WEston 3" tube bars on my old truck and the N-fabs I have on my '14 are much sturdier and don't get dented. the horizontal bar that the hoops are welded to also seem to do a good job of protecting the rockers. They cost a little more but well worth it to me. Also as you can see I got the bed access bars which I also had on my old truck and that helps a lot when trying to get into my toolbox without having to climb in the bed (I'm only 5'9").

awesome thanks. ive got the stock chrome tubular ones, but im not really a fan of them, they were just on the truck when i picked it otherwise i wouldnt have gotten them.

hollow with no end caps, easy to fill with snow, dirt mud etc.. not the best design IMO

they're also useful when you park next to people... Especially the one that like to swing the door wide open without looking..

got mine off Ebay for $204 5" thick.Very well made and also come with limited lifetime warranty..

Do these mount to frame or rocker? And what is the difference? I've been told to get frame mounted running boards by a few people

No! I returned mine for that very reason....

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
