Does anyone have any good leads on AMP plug n play running boards.  Id love a set of these, but at $1500, there is no way in hell I'm going to bite that bullet. 

 

Any vendors that have these for a good price?  Do they ever go on sale?  I see at some point AMP was doing a rebate on them, but that doesn't appear to be the case right now.

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

If anyone is looking for a set of RB10 running boards, I just got brand new ones for a double cab due to warranty and ended up trading the truck in. So I have a brand new set with brackets in Texas. Honestly, they're fantastic running boards.

Are they the 2 step version or single step?

Do you have pics

Since im here, figured id ask, there was a set of RB boards, i think it was that fit snug up under the cab, but then had a smaller step under it like this:

Im not sold on this particular style, but i am looking for suggestions on a good set of boards that will help with a lifted truck

ICI Magnum RT Steps are kinda similar to that, got mine for around $300, cab length.

I like those, but that looks like just 1 step right? i mean if you were climbing stairs, that would be just 1 to climb, I had found one set of boards, and now i wish i would have saved the link or even the name, but it was 2 steps to get in, so you had a similar step like yours, but then above that you had a full cab length step so if anyone needed 2 steps, they could and not have to do one huge step. If i didnt have the lift, i would go with those or something similar.. Like the truck.. :)

I got mine installed today in South Florida for $1400. Dealer did it through a local shop. I asked the shop what it would cost to go direct to them and they told me $1900. Didn't make sense to me.

Got rid of the ugly purple LED pods that the AMP boards game with. Can't believe they supply them with such ugle lights.

Bought these on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B073ZGNDTC?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_yo_pop_mb_pd_t2

 

They were the only LED strips I could find with the 3M VHB adhesive tape. I like how they were enclosed inside a black rubber strip, so you can't see the LEDs unless you bend down and look under. They are extremely bright; brighter than what I wanted.

 

Before:

well after a little over a year and a half my RB10s have started peeling. I forgot to register with go rhino. Anyone have any experience getting them replaced?

Has anyone installed a set of the Go Rhino RB20s? was looking at these as a more minimalist approach and tossing the drop step onto the passenger side for the GF. Thanks.

Yes I installed those had the n-fabs but if your aiming is off you fall off so really liked the look of the go rhinos and would highly recommend them

      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.

      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.
