Nothing up close and the truck is parked in the garage for the winter with a car snuggled up right next to it. (That plus I am so new here that I haven't figured out how to upload a photo to a posting on this site - apparently not as easy as some). The on-line photos are accurate, however.

 

Photo upload tutorial I made:

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

Would you be able to provide a link to the listing for these on ebay? I've been searching ebay for a set that is similar to the OEM ones and have not been able to find any! This is what I'm looking for.

 

Thanks.

 

Installed OEM Look alike running board kit I found on Ebay for $229. Would have preferred to go NFAB but my young kids would have a tough time with that style.

Still VERY happy with the stainless Raptor oval 6" ...especially the welded on end caps ...nicely polished! Around here at least, the completely flat running boards just fill with road debris... especially in the winter.

I absolutely love the black factory Assist Steps that came with Rally 2 package. I feel they give enough footing and aren't too big... I do not think they take away from "clean" look. I am typically not a fan of any side steps, but I think these looks pretty good on the truck.

 

This might sound weird, but maybe the black 22 inch rims on the Rally 2 package help the black Assist Steps look more acceptable. A nice tire\wheel combo can just about make anything look better (mud flaps, side steps, etc.)

I think the black step bars on the Rally trucks do look pretty good. Pretty sure those models are not available in a crew cab though.1673220.jpg

Yea I think they look good. I highly recommend them. I didn't think I would want them, but I actually appreciate them. I get in and out of the truck nice and easy without my pants getting dirty and I also land on the middle of the seat (therefore I don't slide over the side of the seat and wear it out... I hate seeing wear marks on the side of seats lol).post-131470-0-32977800-1423532560_thumb.jpg

Yeah, they are made for CrewCabs. I got these for free from GM. Well actually I had to pay $88.00 for dealer install. I had so many problems with my first two 2014s Gm gave me $500 towards any GM accessories. I would recommend these. I think they look a LOT better than the square ones. You can also get these in chrome as well. But the black looks very good.

These do not stick out very much. I would prefer not to have any assist steps at all or have the AMPs. But these things work good and are very sturdy. Plenty of step area for kids, older parents or wives.

Those are quite nice, they don't hang down too low to hinder ground clearance.

 

They look very similar to the Ford Raptor factory boards.

I have a 2014 blue topaz metallic crew cab, trying to decide on what steps to get, I have two young children that have trouble getting into the truck so function is number 1 and looks number 2. Leaning towards the oem style 6" rectangle or ovals. Anyone have any pics of the polished ones on their truck? Also I live in the UP of Michigan, snow comes in November and doesn't leave until April, They really salt the roads around here so wondering if I should go with stainless or polished chrome. Any help would be appreciated.

Any good deals on the AMP steps right now?

 

Quality Bumper usually has a 15 to 20% coupon code, but not right now unfortunately. But, they are $1299 and there is a $100 rebate, free shipping, and no sales tax if you are not an AZ resident. Keep an eye on their site. I got mine from them awhile back and have sent a lot of people that way, as they usually have a 20% off code. The free shipping and no sales tax is a big saver.

Well here you go. Availability says "manufactured" but it did let me add one to the cart. Price seems pretty good. Anyone know if these mount to the body or the frame?

Now someone try them out before my new truck comes in!

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
