Assist Steps / Running Boards / Nerf Bars

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'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!

The Raptor install kit works great ... very solid passenger side step ...on my 2015 Duramax.

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.

Can someone tell me the difference between AMP Power steps 7615401A and 75154-01A? They look exactly the same to me. Truck Im trying to put them on is a 2014 GMC Sierra crew cab 4x4.

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.
