Think I paid 1060 from Amazon with prime shipping with plug and play.

 

Been awhile since I scoured the interwebs on them. That's a good deal.

You can go on camelcamelcamel.com and put in a target price and it will alert you when the price gets there. It will also show you the price over time.

Just ordered a set of AMPs from Morrie at TonneauFactoryOutlet. Hope to have them installed this weekend!

Assuming you are installing yourself, hit me up if you have any questions. Time consuming but not that difficult an install.

Drive on down to N. AL and turn some wrenches with me. :thumbs:

Would love to if this work thing wasn't getting in the way :). Give me a shout if you you have any questions though. I'll pm you my number.

Just FYI for others interested in the Amps:

 

I got mine from ourdealsrock.net. At the time I bought mine they had the best price (just under $1100 shipped for boards, plug and play, and the optional OBDII pass-through). I applied for the $100 rebate from Lund and my rebate was approved and processed quickly so they must be an approved seller. And the folks at ODR.net were super helpful when I was figuring out what to order. Also, the Tech Support at Amp is absolutely awesome -- just call them if you have any questions!

Could someone who has the OEM 6" oval style steps (mine are the new ones that are actually rectangular, but they still call them oval) take a look underneath the step, and help me understand how to attach the step to the brackets? Mine came in yesterday, and I've spent today trying to figure this out.

 

There were no instructions with them, and the only installation instructions I have found online are not exactly helpful.

I have a question for you AMP guys. I stopped by the truck shop today ready to order a set of AMPs but the owner almost talked me out of them. He said on a truck that is only leveled the AMPs really drop down too far, almost hitting the curb. I've seen plenty of them online and never thought they looked that low. So you AMP guys.. are most of you running them on lifted trucks? Or a lot higher than my 2.5" level? I would appreciate any input. Thanks

Have mine on stock ride height truck and have never hit a curb in over 2 years of use. Close, but never hit. They are the perfect step height for me, my wife (who is 5' high) and my 87 year old parents. The GM running boards / steps were always too high.

Same here. Factory 2015 Z71 with no lift or lower, stock wheels, etc.

 

Also, I asked Amp about them hitting the curb. If they would they stop as soon as they contact the curb so you don't damage anything. When you close the door they retract again and reset themselves.

Has anyone figured out if the OEM steps off of a 2015 fit on a 07-13? I have a guy that wants to buy my old ones. Mine are off of a double cab and be has an extended cab.

I have seen the crew cab steps being interchangeable. Can't speak to the double / extended cab.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
