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

Where are the stainless trim pieces I've seen on the Amp Power? I've only seen one user here with them.

Looks good!

They are an option I opted not to get them because it would bring more attention to the step and the small gap between the board and truck. I think it looks better without the stainless steel strip cause then the step is more hidden.

Hey guys, thuis may have been addressed (in this very thread) but I can't seem to locate it. We're up to 30 pages now so..

 

Anyway, I just put a set of 6" chrome steps on my crew, bought em off a guy who had them installed by the dealer. It came with 16 bolts, and 4 cage nut/clips.

 

The front 4 holes horizontal and vertical are threaded on each side, the back horizontals are not, nor is the verticals. You acn use the clips on the verticals, but there's nothing to use in the horizontals in the rear?? I have 4 bolts left over and I'm nervous about heavy passenger getting into the rear of my truck.

 

What do?

You need to get 4 more cage clips 4 for the verticals and 4 for the horizontals

^+1 I never noticed the uneven gap til it was brought up on here, and now.... minor, but there.

has any body cut these boards down to fit rec.cab yet . I thought about buying a double cab set if they are adjustable and leaving them long to stick under the bed so I have a step back there

Not a bad idea. Only thing is you would have to open. The door everything you want to use the step in the bed

 

Edit: I'm not sure but I think they only make one size board and you have to cut it down. I could be wrong but that's what I am under the impression of for double cab vs crew cab.

opening the door would not bother me .I just like the thought of it being out of the way when I am driving ,

it looks like the mounts are adjustable but have not seen any in person .would like to look at a set firsthand

The control arm to board mounts are adjustable. Where mounts to the board is on a track that until the screws that hold the board to the arm are tightened. They can slide. Once the screws are tightened and the boards are on, they will not slide anymore.

Yea they are quite expensive. Where are you located? If you are anywhere near me you can see mine. I think you have a very cool idea to make one into a bed step and a cab step.

Just chacked. Extended cab and crew cab are the same part number and therefore the same thing. If you order a 'extended cab version' you will get the exact same thing I got for my crew cab except you would have to cut it to fit an extended cab. After cutting the end piece should reinstall no problem to the newly cut end.

      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.

      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.
