Anybody that will price match. I got mine from Morrie at tonneaufactoryoutlet.com

 

AutoAnything.com is running a $224 rebate right now. They also offered to match the deal that AMP is running to through in a free bed step. That deal is good for another week on the bed step.

Do you have a picture of yours? I'm really wanting the power steps but, I've heard good things and I've heard bad things about them. I've never actually seen them in person. The only ones I've ever seen, were on a Tahoe, and were factory.

Looks good! Same color as my truck. Are they aluminum or steel?

16 gauge zinc coated steel, has like a bed lining texture to it too

SHIT! I knew this was going to happen. Purchased mine last month and only got a $100 rebate

I know how you feel. I bought my AMPS on 3/24. I could really use the bed step. It would be the perfect combo with my Fold-A-Cover with that front panel. Doh!!

I'm not trying to step into the middle of this fight, just FYI:

 

I have had Amp steps on 2 trucks through about 7 northeast winters total with absolutely ZERO problems with them freezing up. And the Amp warranty is 5 years not 1 ...

Proves the rest of the whiners don't have a clue what they are talking about thank you! HAHAHA!

Hi guys

 

Anyone have experience with ICI Magnum RT step bars on their truck? Looking a buying a set but have not seen any reviews anywhere for them. Let me hear if you have and pics would be great.

 

Thanks in advance

I misunderstood the offer. The rebate for $224 is the offer to throw in the bed step. You don't get both the $224 and a bed step. Hope that clears things up a bit!

 

What did you pay for your steps? I am seeing them as low as $1199 (no tax, no shipping and without the plug an play... which I want to add).

Apologies in advance if this is somewhere in these 69 pages...

 

But, I am having some trouble finding installation instructions for steps on a double cab. The steps are from Iron Cross, so of course the dealership wont touch it. And, Iron Cross's instructions only go up to 2011 Chevy's. Ideas?

I have a 2016 Crew Cab short bed Z71. I'm trying to decide if I want wheel to wheel 4 step NFAB steps or the standard cab length 4 step. Anyone with these have any pros/cons to this set up?

Here is the ad and pictures. Dropped price to $350 after doing some research. This is the pair for half the price of one bar if you order from GM directly.

    • I imagine the cold winters up here with repeated short runs in town every day for those that live and work in town and given what I have come to learn on this forum with DI engines having fuel dilution issues, and if they don't change the oil until it says to but keep driving it for a while, I bet all that is just lovely on those finicky lifters. 
    • I just did some reading and Stabilitrak is more than a what I had originally thought. It is more of a vehicle control system to help the driver in precarious situations. I thought it was only the AWD system. Now I know. So I changed the title for this thread to AWD conversion to Z71 
    • Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks
    • My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.
    • I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.
