Mine are perfectly fine, you sure you had them on the correct side because if not they are way to far forward.

Yes, I had two people involved from their corporate office, emailing pics back and forth and two videos..... When I put my foot on the step it's way forward and puts me into the dash as I made the step....

They could have sent a wrong set or something. I haven't had anybody complain about the hoops being too far forward or anything. That's anybody from friends and family including my grandmother. I don't need it but when I tried it, it seems fine for me. Maybe you have long legs? The hoops seems to be lined up for the floorboards in front of the deats. Did they look like the ones in the pic of my truck?

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

 

My Raptor stainless mounted to the body bolts with additional intermediate supports in the middle attached to the rocker panel with "U" bolts.

My nfabs on my rubicon were the same way. The steps were way forward and other than looks, pretty useless. That's kept me from purchasing for my silverado.

has anyone tried the Iron cross 2 step bars? they look similar to nfab but are only $150 on ebay

Anyone have AMP Research steps with the lights not work? Both my rear lights were not working and finally go around to checking it out. The rear lights are just dead. I can't remember if they were working when I installed them. It took me a while to even notice them not working since I don't get into the back and the fronts do light the back up enough to work really. I'll be calling them tomorrow since I emailed them about the issue a month ago asking if they had issues of any kind, but they never even replied.

When you got the steps, do you remember if there was a (I think it was) blue sticker on the bag with the LEDs? AMP had a bad batch of LEDs that we're going out prematurely and so they corrected it and put stickers on the bags of LEDs that they produced after the change to signify that you got a good set of LEDs. Call them or enail them one more time and they should send you a new set for free. Or you could add a strip of LEDs that spans the entire length of the step. I did that and am much happier with this route than using the lights from AMP. I still have my AMP lights though but they are in my toolbox in the bed of my truck.

comparing where the steps are on yours and where they are on my stock boards, i really thing they are too far forward, which sucks because i dont like the look of mine, and dont want power steps..

 

they totally got it wrong, heeds to be 4-6" further back

I was thinking about upgrading them as they are only two little LEDs in each light, but right now I'm doing all sorts of other things and just want to fix what I have. I will likely upgrade them later. I got one of the early sets when they are having trouble keep up with demand and I don't think they had blue on the bags. I'll just call them this time since they didn't respond to my previous email asking if exactly if they had any issues, which apparently they did. So, not responding to me has annoyed me more now. Thanks for the info.

No problem. If you want I could even send you mine. You will need new 3M tape on the back (I could cut you some and put it on there as I have plenty). Just pay for shipping and they are yours

I'm sure I could get them shipped for pretty cheap. If it's cheap enough I'll even just eat the cost and not worry about it.

Just got Christmas gifts (cash) to buy the AMP Power Steps. Anyone seen any good deals online or coupons that knocked the price down pretty good?

thank you, but AMP is sending replacements.

Quality bumper has a 20% off all order coupon and no tax if you're not in AZ. Got mine from them with 15% off awhile ago. Great customer service. Give them a look.

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • 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?
