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

Yeah, technically, we haven't negotiated a price yet. Just getting GoRhino to manufacture them and get them shipped will be about a 5 month process. If I didn't want the look of these so bad, I would have moved on long ago but once I saw them, I knew I had to have them, but you can bet I'll be using the Carid price for leverage!

I feel exactly the same way, I have always liked the look of the Ford Raptor steps, so when I saw these I was like damn it's about time.. I have been holding out for these since November 14'... I talked to GoRhino today and they said that they have a large shipment going out really soon... I am hoping for good news tomorrow and that I get a tracking number!!!

Well I called Carid today, and the told me once again that my ship date was getting pushed again.. They now said that my ship date is going to be 5/8, I was not happy again...

 

I have been in Contact with GoRhino about these steps since November, so after I got that bad news from Carid I sent them a message and they called me to tell me that they are sorry for the delay and that they are going to red label ship my RB10 steps out to me and they will be here either Monday or Tuesday... Soon as I get them I will post some pictures..

Just ordered magnum raptor oval 4 inch oe stainless with slight curve on ends bars, any body else? Pic? Hope it looks good, we didn't want running board style due to winters and ice build up, truck is kept in garage.

Update: just wanted to give an update on the GoRhino RB10 steps. They didn't get shipped out like they were supposed to, something happened with shipping. Anyways I just got of the phone with GoRhino and they said that they will be shipped out in Monday, so as soon as I get them I will post pictures.. GoRhino asked me to do a little install video and write up about the steps, when I do get them.. All I have to say is that GoRhino is a top notch company!!

sounds like you keep getting the run around, hopefully it turns out.

Man, if they don't ship em Monday I've got a feeling your gonna hear about it here ha ha! My truck is in transit and I really want these steps, but I'm not too optimistic I would have them before the 4th of July the way your deal has gone. Can't wait for pics...

Well I'm rooting for ya cause I want to see some real world pictures. And I'm pretty jealous you got em for free, nice!

 

The only things he has gotten for free so far are broken promises, excuses, and missed shipped dates.

According to your own posts, you haven't actually received anything. So, until then, it's all just broken promises and crushed dreams. lol

Good choice!

And to think that I have been enjoying my Raptors for months ...while other folks keep getting the run around ...

Anyone receive their RB10's yet from GoRhino? Been on a list since mid Dec, '14 and GoRhino is still saying weeks away...their communication sucks ass to say the least.

Bump, also interested in these

Can anyone with the AMP steps please look to see if there is an approximate 1/4" gap between the front idler linkage and the bottom cab pinch weld? Called their tech line and they stated it's normal, but I would think you want the linkage to sit on the pinch weld surface for support?? thanks.

My amp steps don't touch any part of the truck except for where they actually attach. Everywhere else has a small gap between the step/linkage/etc from the nearest part of the truck.

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      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.

      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.
