I was told that I should have a shipping tracking number later today. Here is to hoping.

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

What price are you guys getting for the new plug and play version?? GM-Truck coupons flying around anywhere out there for them? :)

 

Edit: For the Amp version of the steps.

I was quoted $1400 installed for the plug and play AMP's at Chux Trux in Kansas City.

Just wondering....as I am considering a swap to the AMP powersteps.

 

The OEM running boards/side steps on the 14' (and likely other years) have 4-braces holding each step in place on either side which provides a solid foundation for both driver and any passengers.. The AMP power steps have 2 per side. From experienced owners/users, have you found the Powersteps to be as strong in terms of weight bearing as the OEM 4-brace styles?

 

As many, I like the look and the functionality of the Powerstep but find myself a bit concerned that they may not offer the strength of oem style.

I want them because they clean the look of the truck and one less thing to hang up when I'm driving across a pasture or road on our land, a coworker has them on his F-150 and they seem sturdy enough and he's not a small guy.

I love mine also, just keep up on the maintenance.

Do you mean the Power Steps? What maintenance is required?

I'm in the same boat as you as far as waiting for the harness module. I just called autoanything and spoke to Dasan at ext 7135 (Great guy btw) and he put in a special order for the harness for me since they dont carry it just yet. Price is better than i have seen as well at $115.50 out the door. Should be here in a week or two.

So I called and talked to Dasan and he quoted me $150, not sure why the price would be different???

I'm not sure. Maybe they went up in the price and I just got lucky (again lol)?

 

I just opened the box (it's been sealed since I haven't had time to install them) and I received a wiring harness labeled "plug and play conversion kit for 75154-01a". It has an odb2 port plug with it so I assume it's the right one.

 

I know when I purchased every other company had the harnesses listed at $150 so they may have slipped up and gave it to me cheaper than they should have and now they are pricing them in line with the other companies.

 

Edit:

Here are a couple pictures of what i received.

thanks for the pics, for a minute I was worried they may have accidentally sold you the multiport OBD2 cable instead of the actual plug and play kit. Now that I have the p/n I'll run some searches to find a better price since Dasan couldn't repeat on that price

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
