Finally got these bad boys on 5dkjk2.jpg

Passenger side arrived with A Dent in it so auto anything is sending a replacement.

Also, Raptor has "revised" instructions which didnt make it into my box so I had these washers that werent listed nor used in the installation. I contacted raptor and they gave me a link to the revised instructions and got the washers put in.

Only problem I really have is the rear seats only have 1 support bracket on the bar vs 2 for the front

nice truck and can am I'm going to pm you I want to ask you some things about your can am I have one like it

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

Does anyone have experience with the "Side Steps"? I think that is the right term for them - they're just essentially big enough to place one foot on it seems.

 

I really do not want to have a full cab length step until I can spend the money on AMP. In the meantime, I really need to get something for the passenger side because my girlfriend struggles to get in all the time and then always slides her butt off and down the side of the seat when she gets out. I can see the jeans + leather seat combo wearing my leather seat out in a hurry.

 

Something that has crossed my mind though is that it may look a little goofy if I just did that one door, so I don't know if doing my driver door with one too would even it out, but then would I need to add 1 for each rear door too? I really just need it for her door and I don't think I'd really care if just 1 door had a step on it for the next several months, maybe a little longer. It definitley could look goofy, but at the end of the day I'm just trying to make her life easier, and prevent wear and tear on the passenger seat (in no particular order :rolleyes: )

I wouldnt worry about it looking goofy. Maybe you cab find someone selling single cab steps for a low price until you have the funds for what you want

They bolt right up. The passenger side will only take 3 of the 4 brackets but it's still strong. They are not a perfect step meaning if u put ur foot sideways they work great.

      Vehicle Payments

      By KARNUT · Posted

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
