Cool man I appreciate any feedback he might be able to give...I'm highly experienced and have done several sets of AMPs, but I'm about ready to rip these off, literally, and mail them back in pieces to AMP...

 

Sounds like they should just swap them out and send you new idler linkages. That's a pretty bad gap. Is there a lot of play in the idler? mine was fairly stiff. When held in my hand, it would drop to fully extended under it's own weight, but slowly.

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

I have the same issue on my wife's truck hitting the parking brake, I thought it was from having the body lift on it and yours is way off level for sure, ours is not that far off its only a 1/16" I checked it again.

What about the 6-8" piece of rubber that your supposed to put around the parking brake assembly? Mine hit also, but the with the rubber wrap, it's a non issue.

I did use the rubber, but your not "suppose" to have too on the 1500 Crew Cabs according to the directions. I figured mine hit due to the body lift, since it had to be adjusted for it, which puts it in a different location then the stock adjustment. Easy fix... I was just surprised he had an issue with a stock truck and apparently you did too?

The drivers side rear bracket lines up directly with the parking brake assembly. When the steps are up, the bracket does hit the brake assembly. I don't recall reading that I didn't need it due to me having a crew cab.

Does anyone have or has anyone seen the N-Fab steps (the regular ones) with the textured finish? I ordered some about a month ago and they still haven't arrived. Waiting on a sales rep. from the place I ordered them from to call me back to see what the delay is. If it's going to be a lot longer, I may just get the powdercoated steps and be done with it. But I would like to know if anyone has any experience with the textured ones and if they are worth waiting for.

I'd get the powder coated steps then have them linex them.

They all basically look the same... just do some image searching on google. If I still have my directions I'll scan them and post them up but I think I threw them away(they weren't even for the right truck but they got me started).

Looks like the mount up to the same locations as the AMP steps from the previous picture posted.

Its a very simple design, I'm sure you could makes some and even make them look better/more functional.

I looked on Amazon right after you posted that. The part that Amazon is selling is listed as C1489CC. The textured finish that I ordered is C1489CC-TX.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
