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

There's a thread I posted to a while back, but basically, I removed the grill, and mounted it through the standoffs at the bottom of the grill.

I would also like to see pics of the RB10's on a leveled truck. I love the look of them but just haven't seen any in person.

Installed the iBoards this past weekend as well. Took me almost two hours to install because I tried to make sense of their stupid instruction manual (one instructional manual doesn't work for all trucks) Only time will tell if they weather well.

I got my steps installed this weekend, once I finally got the right ones. Some idiot (he says, trying to look innocent) ordered crew cab instead of double cab, the first time around. However, once I straightened that out, they went on pretty well. They're eBay copies of the OEM rectangular ones, but I had them at my local Chevy shop, and they said they looked identical to them. The only difference they saw was that the factory ones come with the brackets attached to the rails apparently. Mine came in pieces, and I had to figure it out, with no instructions to help. The only real problem I had was that some of the little clips that go in the body holes didn't line up, so I couldn't get the bolts through. With a little bit of creative re-shaping of the clip, I was able to make it work (and I only lost one of them down into the body panel!).

 

I went back and forth over the "chrome" vs "black" debate, and I'm pretty happy with my decision. I probably would have been equally happy the other way though too.

I have been looking at getting the Amp Research steps for awhile now which actually is one of the things that led me to this board.

 

It seems like getting the Plug and Play kit is the way to go from what I've seen. What are your guys thoughts of them? Is there a certain place you recommend picking them up from? I'm not opposed to paying full price for them but if there is a better deal out there then I'm all for it.

 

Thanks for the help.

I just got mine on this afternoon. My wife is 5'3" so these were her idea. I'm pleased with the fit and function of them. As for pricing, there are a few place guys on here use a lot. Auto anything is one of them and Tonneau factory outlet has good prices on them, also

Thanks! I hadn't heard of Tonneau but I did run across AutoAnything. I'll definitely check them out.

 

Did you self install? If so, what are your thoughts on it? It seems pretty straight forward from what I've seen. I'm planning to purchase mine this week and have a friend who has done it on his Dodge which requires a bit more disassembling from the sounds of it so I'm thinking between the 2 of us it shouldn't be too bad.

I posted this earlier but I got a good price from http://ourdealsrock.net/ and they must be an authorized seller since I was able to get a Lund rebate after I bought from them (Lund owns Amp Research).

 

The P-n-P is DEFINITELY worth it. I also bought the OBD pass-through harness (this is not needed but allows you to still have an empty OBD port after you connect the P-n-P harness and the empty OBD port mounts right in the factory location). I did the install myself and taking my sweet time and being OCD it still only took me about 4 hours from the time I opened the box until I was finished cleanup. Everything mounts right up and you only need to drill a small hole under the driver's floormat. All the harnesses are the perfect length and the instructions are pretty good.

 

The only thing the instructions don't tell you that I recommend is do not make all the bolts tight until you have the brackets hung and the boards mounted to the brackets. At that point you can go back and tighten then torque everything. It makes lining everything up much easier.

Awesome information, thanks! I'm super OCD too so I'm sure I'll be going the same route as you haha.

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
