That is a good idea MFLeury. I just read ever page on this thread. Now I'm considering Amps. Good lord you people make me spend money. Is there a place here to list the OEM stuff or Craig's list the best place. I'm guessing they sell for around 275. Anyone know the best place to snag Amps. No one gives mil/Leo discounts lol.

Do you have the 6" OEM running boards? I have my OEM's listed for sale on here, but I have gotten much more traffic through Craigslist. I've had them listed for maybe 2 weeks. 6 offers through CL, with 3 of the offers for my asking price of $350. Meeting with the first guy who offered me tomorrow to sell them.

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

Oh boy I just dropped the hammer on my zero percent interest credit card for some amps. Hope to install them next weekend.

 

The wiring still goes through the drivers side floor correct.

If I'm not mistaken there is a groment there already under the carpet or do you use the supplied one and drill a new hole. Anyone spare some guidance.

Does anyone know if the OEM Escalade/Yukon XL boards will fit our trucks? Mounts look similar, but not sure about the end caps.

I got mine from autoanything.com so I could get overnight shipping. They price matched another company that had them for like $100 cheaper than everyone else.

I love my Amps(:

Ps, I sold my stock 6" rectangular chrome steps for $250 cash local pickup.

Just realized you already ordered the steps [emoji28] really should finish reading a thread before I say anything haha. But yes the wiring will go through the driver side floor. You can cut a hole in the grommet already there (it's for the brake line) and run your wires through there. I personally drilled, but I did that cause I don't mind drilling and my drill was closer than my knife [emoji23]

I would not bet my cash on them, you will still need something to control them. Unless there is stationary ones you were referring to?

I ordered the plug and play AMP boards Thursday for $1050 shipped to my house. They arrived today, my son and I put them on and they are awesome.

How did I live without these before?.

 

Installation was easy with the plug and play setup. I installed driver side and controller/harness, my Son (11 y/o) installed passenger side himself.

2 hours and we were done.

I recommend these over sliding in and out, as my 5 ft. tall wife has done for over 30 years on all of my trucks.

For those with the AMP boards, I have watched a few online videos. When they are open do they seem to sit too close to the ground on a stock height Silverado? Would they open and hit a curb?

 

Thanks

I have been concerned a few times because I do like to park with one side to the curb. But no, it has not hit. I think it's a little higher than it looks. And my wife say it is just the right height...besides, if it were to touch, it just wouldn't fold down further. They have will stop if there is resistance.

I liked my AMPs so much I ordered my Dad a set. They came in today so I installed them without him knowing. He got quite a surprise when he opened the door.

Second set I've done and only took an hour this time.
I didn't drill hole in floor for the 2 wires, I just punched a small hole with an ice pick in the grommet that was already there. Then sealed with a small dab of silicone.

Another tip is do the wiring first, then you only have to get under each side once. Lay all the bolts and arms out where they go before hand.

Clean underside where LED's mount with alcohol after wiring is done but dont mount LED until it is connected and heat shrink is complete.

Honestly, if you do it this way you can do it in an hour pretty easy.

 

Plug and play is the only way to go.

That is why I went ahead and bought my Dad a set.

I got a different coupon code AFTER my 1st order, but saved 10% on Dad's boards.

Closer to black friday the price will probably be around that also for those that want to wait.

 

They have excellent customer service!

      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.
