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

There's a thread I posted to a while back, but basically, I removed the grill, and mounted it through the standoffs at the bottom of the grill.

I would also like to see pics of the RB10's on a leveled truck. I love the look of them but just haven't seen any in person.

Installed the iBoards this past weekend as well. Took me almost two hours to install because I tried to make sense of their stupid instruction manual (one instructional manual doesn't work for all trucks) Only time will tell if they weather well.

I got my steps installed this weekend, once I finally got the right ones. Some idiot (he says, trying to look innocent) ordered crew cab instead of double cab, the first time around. However, once I straightened that out, they went on pretty well. They're eBay copies of the OEM rectangular ones, but I had them at my local Chevy shop, and they said they looked identical to them. The only difference they saw was that the factory ones come with the brackets attached to the rails apparently. Mine came in pieces, and I had to figure it out, with no instructions to help. The only real problem I had was that some of the little clips that go in the body holes didn't line up, so I couldn't get the bolts through. With a little bit of creative re-shaping of the clip, I was able to make it work (and I only lost one of them down into the body panel!).

 

I went back and forth over the "chrome" vs "black" debate, and I'm pretty happy with my decision. I probably would have been equally happy the other way though too.

I have been looking at getting the Amp Research steps for awhile now which actually is one of the things that led me to this board.

 

It seems like getting the Plug and Play kit is the way to go from what I've seen. What are your guys thoughts of them? Is there a certain place you recommend picking them up from? I'm not opposed to paying full price for them but if there is a better deal out there then I'm all for it.

 

Thanks for the help.

I just got mine on this afternoon. My wife is 5'3" so these were her idea. I'm pleased with the fit and function of them. As for pricing, there are a few place guys on here use a lot. Auto anything is one of them and Tonneau factory outlet has good prices on them, also

Thanks! I hadn't heard of Tonneau but I did run across AutoAnything. I'll definitely check them out.

 

Did you self install? If so, what are your thoughts on it? It seems pretty straight forward from what I've seen. I'm planning to purchase mine this week and have a friend who has done it on his Dodge which requires a bit more disassembling from the sounds of it so I'm thinking between the 2 of us it shouldn't be too bad.

I posted this earlier but I got a good price from http://ourdealsrock.net/ and they must be an authorized seller since I was able to get a Lund rebate after I bought from them (Lund owns Amp Research).

 

The P-n-P is DEFINITELY worth it. I also bought the OBD pass-through harness (this is not needed but allows you to still have an empty OBD port after you connect the P-n-P harness and the empty OBD port mounts right in the factory location). I did the install myself and taking my sweet time and being OCD it still only took me about 4 hours from the time I opened the box until I was finished cleanup. Everything mounts right up and you only need to drill a small hole under the driver's floormat. All the harnesses are the perfect length and the instructions are pretty good.

 

The only thing the instructions don't tell you that I recommend is do not make all the bolts tight until you have the brackets hung and the boards mounted to the brackets. At that point you can go back and tighten then torque everything. It makes lining everything up much easier.

Awesome information, thanks! I'm super OCD too so I'm sure I'll be going the same route as you haha.

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
