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.

there are lots of pics of the RB10's on leveled trucks on this topic including mine. just go back a few pages. :cheers:

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.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

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

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
