Thats good to know on the install. Maybe I will tackle this one myself. Thanks for solving the mystery - very cool indeed haha

Is there a way to tell if your buying the OBDII version?

Yes my friend if you’re buying online it will say it or if from a dealer they will know if it’s plug and play or not. If you’re even slightly mechanically inclined it will be no problem at all. Hope everything goes smoothly ?

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

Does anyone have pics of the HPC1475CC-TX installed on a Crew Cab Standard bed? These are the N-Fab Podium steps.

Loving the amp steps if anyone is thinking of getting these, nice clean look!  Install is free at 4wheel parts right now as well.

I paid $1399, had em installed about two weeks ago.  I think that's about the going price for them online, at least for the plug n play set.

 It took me about two hours to install my amp steps and they are plug-and-play because it was my first time but I guarantee you if they install these on a regular basis they get them in about 45. Or less if you got two guys on it, that’s just good business you’re not losing a lot and you’re telling your customer you’re doing something for free which always makes it a little easier to get them to make the purchase. They are great steps regardless of who installs them.

I have had these installed on my truck for a year and a half now.  

Very nice steps with outstanding instructions.  With the quality of the steps and the instructions, I feel even a novice could install them without problems.  Just take your time and follow the instructions.

They are much better the the GM folding running boards.  These tuck out of sight completely.

Put the ICI Magnum RTs on this weekend, loving them so far. Was a little worried they were hanging too low initially, but once I got everything tightened and adjusted where I wanted, they came out great. No flex, feel really strong and they're short wife approved emoji23.pngemoji23.png.

Off topic, but I really like that wheel and tire combo. what offset are your wheels and what tire size you running? Any rubbing?

Guess I was the guinea pig for these steps. Lol no one had pictures of them anywhere, even N-Fab didn't have any.. But here they are N-Fab Podium steps.

Has anyone installed the Havoc HS2 steps?  I'm curious to know how they're holding up for you?

I installed my Amp steps about two weeks ago. Took about 3 hours, 1 1/2 hours was routing the harness's and hooking up the LED's. Local dealer wanted $300.00 to install them if bought from them, and they were $ 400.00 more then I paid.

Jesus! The most I have EVER heard anyone charged to install amp steps was $100 and that being said most places I personally know of do it for free with purchase as long as plug-n-play or $50 for original style. Stay far far away from that place lol

Yeah, they wanted $1800.00 for the steps and over $2100.00 installed. I just crossed them of the my list of anyplace to do business with. Can't imagine they sell many . I ended up ordering them on Amazon for $1245.00.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
