They barely stick out at all and the way they mount you can move them out or in a bit.

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

From the picture, they look like they stick out quite a bit. Can they be brought in more? Was really thinkin of gettin these. Canadian price is ridiculous though.

Mine are out about all the way. I bet there's a good 1"-1.5" adjustment inwards. I just lined it up with the rocker. I might adjust them in a bit.

currently have the Dee Zee NXT and you guys with the GO Rhino steps are making me think of taking mine off and buying a set of those.

Only problem is i don't want to have 900 bucks tied up in side steps...

​REMOVED ???? change your mind .

Ha. I removed a post I made. I was having a very hard time getting the driver side straight. The board was twisting - flat at the front and angled out towards the back. I took it off and put it on the ground and it was still twisted. Went so far as calling the seller about a return. Then, I put a level on each bracket. For some reason the rocker is just not level. Ended up shimming the brackets to make it all level and it looks great now!

I'm not a fan of running boards but they can make it a lot easier to get in the truck, especially with a level and larger tires. I actually like the look of the RB10's but how do you like them in use? They're so close to the height of the truck do they make it easier to get in and out or do they just get in the way?

Function is great. There's a nice platform especially getting out of the truck. I mainly bought them to save my seats when jumping out and for rocker panel chip protection. The step is great though. Btw, I have a 2.25" level and 33s.

Thanks! I think they're the best looking alternative. I hated the look of the OEM steps and got rid of them. I'd like amp steps but don't want to spend that much dough plus they'd do nothing to protect the truck from door dings and rock chips.

I've had both designs. The old school round on my 08 Sierra 1500 SLT that I bought from dealer and installed myself to save a couple hundred and the flat newer type on my 14 All-Terrain that I just traded in on my 2016 SLT. All three were original GMC parts put on 1500 double cabs with reg 6.6'bed. Personally, I like the old school better for looks and function (but I'm an old 59 year old). They seemed sturdier also. I'm finding the ones on the 2016 easier to used then the ones on the 14 though I don't know why. I believe the bodies (fenders, cab, bed panels) are the same on the 14 as they are on the 2016 but I'm not positive of that. Lights/grill are all new but think the sides are unchanged. Anyway, my wife and I prefer having the steps (standard equipment on 2016's SLT's). Makes entering and exiting much easier plus they look pretty good.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By fondupot · Posted

      There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks.

      According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock

      I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering

      I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
