Installed the 6" OEM rectangular chrome side steps on my crew cab yesterday. They are part no. 22805442. The retail price (whether factory or dealer installed) is $700.00. Bought mine from a New Orleans dealer via Ebay for $455.00 including shipping.

 

Each step comes with a bag of 8 bolts and 8 u-clip nuts (part no. 22876958). Installation is easy. The front 2 mounting brackets each utilize 2 pre-cast nuts, so 4 of the bolts are used, but none of the u-clips. For the 2 rear mounting brackets, a total of 4 bolts and 4 u-clip nuts are used. A rubber plug must be removed for each of the 2 upper rear mounting points. When installation of both sides was complete, 8 u-clip nuts were left over.

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

I've got 5" raptors in black, I got black because I didn't want the chrome look I already have too much chrome on the truck! I've had 'em on the truck for about a year and I have no complaints. I don't love the look of nerf bars but, I really appreciate the function of the steps!

I was able to get them off of eBay for my truck (22805440 - Double Cab Chrome) for $475 shipped. My local dealer, where I bought the truck, was "nice enough" to offer them to me at 10% off of MSRP. $650 - $65 = $585 + tax. I told them I had a source to get them for under $500 to my door, and they actually told me in no uncertain terms to take the deal.

Those of y'all with the PNP AMP steps......Especially in the areas that get snow and ice.....How are they holding up? Functionality wise in those weather conditions. I have N-Fabs on my truck right now and on the normal days my size 14 foot doesn't like the steps that well and this winter with snow and ice accumulations on them really didn't like them so I've been considering saving and spending the whopping $1200 for the AMP steps since my feet would like them a lot more and I don't like steps that hang low

Looking for anyone with a Double Cab '14-'15 DIESEL (must be diesel) that has the OEM 6" rectangular steps installed.

 

The diesel kit includes different brackets compared to the kit for the gas motor trucks, and I'm wondering if the passenger side step feels nice and solid compared to the driver's side step.

 

The mounting setup on the diesel just seems like it would NOT be as solid because the passenger side step mounts with one full bracket and two "split brackets" instead of three full brackets, but I would also expect that any mounting system developed for the diesel truck would need to be just as solid.

 

If you have one of these kits on your truck and can comment on the sturdiness of the passenger side step compared to the driver's side, I would really appreciate it!

I appreciate the comment, but I'm specifically looking for info on the OEM steps.

Mine worked great when I was on vacation in the snow. The build up behind the front tire drops off when you get out as the step goes down. Didn't slip at all. I do not have lots of time in snow though. I however did research before buying them and read several people having no issue with them after years of snow weather.

Any one have issues with the paint on the Nfab bars?

I put the wheel to wheel ones on my truck about 6 months ago and the paint is already coming off.

The rusty bars look really good on my new truck.

76154-01A is the PNP model that plugs into the OBD-II port.

75154-01A is the older model that you have to hardwire in.

See my earlier post where I suggested to look at the used car lots for the condition of bars after use ... they all look good on a shiny new truck parked on asphalt. Chrome and/or paint deteriorates very quickly around here with the chemical de-icers and gravel spread out over the winter; stainless is the best (and in my opinion - the only) alternative. That does not even factor in the icing on the whole underbody which can last for months if you do not have access to a heated garage.

      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.
