So I sent an inquiry about Power Step running boards for regular cab trucks into AMP Research and this was there response,

 

"As of this time we do not make a power step for a regular cab GMC Sierra Or Chevy Silverado."

 

Guess on to option "B"....

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

Technically, they don't make them for a double cab either... You, the installer, have to cut the boards to the appropriate length. Cutting that much off for the RC though is a lot more, but the same thing you have to do for the DC, cutting. But there are still a lot of great options out there though.

Actually, the DC is an official model for AMP PowerSteps posted under Applications in the installation instructions and on their web site along with the CC where the RC is not. The instructions just show a modification is needed for the extended cab steps. At least that's what my instructions say for my DC.

That is true, but it is only one kit (length) with additional steps for the double cab, Cut the boards to length. (at least it was at my time of purchase). That's all I was getting at. It's really just a crew cab package that you have to modify. If AMP had a RC model, it would be "just cut more off to fit". Sucks for RC owners though. Hopefully they would discount the price knowing half of the board would be trash or just cut it in the factory and ship correct sized boards. On a completely unrelated side note... Your truck name "ruby" I just saw, has me youtubing the Kaiser Chiefs' Ruby...

Hey all. I really like the AMP Power Steps and am debating on picking some up. I was wondering what kind of $$$'s I could get for the stock GM 6" chrome side steps. If I'm not mistaken they were a $750 option in Canada. What are you guys selling/buying them for? USD or CAD numbers are cool, it would give me an idea of what I could possibly price mine at. The Amp's are going to run me about $1,400 and if I could offset the price a bit by selling the stock boards, for $4-500 that would be great but don't know if that is reasonable.

Can I put my nerf bars from my 2013 on my 2014 crew? They are Aries?

Installed OEM Look alike running board kit I found on Ebay for $229. Would have preferred to go NFAB but my young kids would have a tough time with that style.

I had the dealer take off my factory 6" oval stainless side steps for a better deal because I really didn't like the look of them. Now I'm looking for a smaller step like the nfab nerf bars. I would like black but in Canada they salt the roads so I'm worried they'd rust big time. I've also thought about going with the Nfab ones and having them done in a linex or other bedliner material.

I have Nfabs on mine and they're powder coated. You can also get them with a textured finish from them, but not sure if it's bedliner materials or what it is. Both finishes was also the same price.

Just a heads up the OEM NNBS steps will bolt up on a 14 or 15, here are the steps off my 12 on my 14.

So if I were to get a set off of a 2014 model and use them on my 2008, they should bolt up?

      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

      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.

      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.
