That is a good idea MFLeury. I just read ever page on this thread. Now I'm considering Amps. Good lord you people make me spend money. Is there a place here to list the OEM stuff or Craig's list the best place. I'm guessing they sell for around 275. Anyone know the best place to snag Amps. No one gives mil/Leo discounts lol.

Do you have the 6" OEM running boards? I have my OEM's listed for sale on here, but I have gotten much more traffic through Craigslist. I've had them listed for maybe 2 weeks. 6 offers through CL, with 3 of the offers for my asking price of $350. Meeting with the first guy who offered me tomorrow to sell them.

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

Oh boy I just dropped the hammer on my zero percent interest credit card for some amps. Hope to install them next weekend.

 

The wiring still goes through the drivers side floor correct.

If I'm not mistaken there is a groment there already under the carpet or do you use the supplied one and drill a new hole. Anyone spare some guidance.

Does anyone know if the OEM Escalade/Yukon XL boards will fit our trucks? Mounts look similar, but not sure about the end caps.

I got mine from autoanything.com so I could get overnight shipping. They price matched another company that had them for like $100 cheaper than everyone else.

I love my Amps(:

Ps, I sold my stock 6" rectangular chrome steps for $250 cash local pickup.

Just realized you already ordered the steps [emoji28] really should finish reading a thread before I say anything haha. But yes the wiring will go through the driver side floor. You can cut a hole in the grommet already there (it's for the brake line) and run your wires through there. I personally drilled, but I did that cause I don't mind drilling and my drill was closer than my knife [emoji23]

I would not bet my cash on them, you will still need something to control them. Unless there is stationary ones you were referring to?

I ordered the plug and play AMP boards Thursday for $1050 shipped to my house. They arrived today, my son and I put them on and they are awesome.

How did I live without these before?.

 

Installation was easy with the plug and play setup. I installed driver side and controller/harness, my Son (11 y/o) installed passenger side himself.

2 hours and we were done.

I recommend these over sliding in and out, as my 5 ft. tall wife has done for over 30 years on all of my trucks.

For those with the AMP boards, I have watched a few online videos. When they are open do they seem to sit too close to the ground on a stock height Silverado? Would they open and hit a curb?

 

Thanks

I have been concerned a few times because I do like to park with one side to the curb. But no, it has not hit. I think it's a little higher than it looks. And my wife say it is just the right height...besides, if it were to touch, it just wouldn't fold down further. They have will stop if there is resistance.

I liked my AMPs so much I ordered my Dad a set. They came in today so I installed them without him knowing. He got quite a surprise when he opened the door.

Second set I've done and only took an hour this time.
I didn't drill hole in floor for the 2 wires, I just punched a small hole with an ice pick in the grommet that was already there. Then sealed with a small dab of silicone.

Another tip is do the wiring first, then you only have to get under each side once. Lay all the bolts and arms out where they go before hand.

Clean underside where LED's mount with alcohol after wiring is done but dont mount LED until it is connected and heat shrink is complete.

Honestly, if you do it this way you can do it in an hour pretty easy.

 

Plug and play is the only way to go.

That is why I went ahead and bought my Dad a set.

I got a different coupon code AFTER my 1st order, but saved 10% on Dad's boards.

Closer to black friday the price will probably be around that also for those that want to wait.

 

They have excellent customer service!

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
