Baggedvintegra, Can you please post a pic from the side. I really like those steps but would love to see a side view. Also where did you get them?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Henry

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

KUUG, you are right there are other pictures of the Nfabs, like on page 17. What I am more interested in if someone wouldn't mind, is a picture of the whole truck from side and not an angle shot. All of the picture I have found of nfabs as just an angle shot of the nerf bar and lower half of the truck. If I missed please point me in the right direction. I totally skipped the Craiglist line. Great deal.

Looks clean. What in-channel rain guards are those and what are your thoughts?

Their AVS. Easy install, and stay in place. I like them.

Gotcha. Many on this forum seem to lean towards AVS. I've never had them on any cars but recently installed some recent Putco in-channels on my work car and really like them. Think I may pick some up for my truck.

Just got my truck back from the installer after they installed a bed cap and a set of AMP Research power steps for me.

 

My truck is at stock ride height and I am not terribly thrilled with them. They are sturdy and appear to be of excellent quality but even though they are properly installed they just extend too low for me. Maybe I will eventually get used to them but right now they just feel like they need to be about 2 inches higher and maybe extend outward another inch.

 

Going to get a leveling kit for the front end in a month or so. If I am not used to them by then they I will probably have them yank these off at the same time in favor of a set of GM chrome rectangular steps.

Just put mine on but the rear ones don't really work that well, the window hits it and bends the guard in. Did you have any problems? I have a crew cab.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      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.
