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

Anyone running these GM ones? They look pretty solid.

Those look really good, and seem more practical and functional than the nfabs I have on my truck. I see them on ebay for about $700, which is pretty expensive, but I'm very tempted.

I just heard back from my local dealership and they are cutting me a good deal IMO. $880 CDN for the pair. I just placed my order; hoping they are on my truck early next week. Will post some pictures when done :)

Do you guys/gals know what year trucks these running boards will fit? Just putting them up for sale and they are off my 2015 Silverado 1500. Want to put the years they will fit but am not 100% sure. Also, will they fit 2500/3500?

 

I assume they will fit the Sierra's of the same years though.

 

Thanks.

Should fit 14-17 1500 Silverado/Sierras. Crew Cabs only.

well my nerf bars came in, sadly enough i decided to instill them tonight, never done assist steps before so it went from 7:30pm-10:30pm by the time i got everything put away and cleaned up some. what took the most is locating the mounting points, then having to move my center mount due to i had it in the wrong hole, thanks directions. they failed to mention that the first 2 mounting points were threaded (they said the front one was haha.)

 

 

pics are bad but man they look nice and it was money well spent

My '16 Silverado came with the factory 6" chrome side steps. Functionally I think they work well, but washing my truck yesterday I found that huge areas of the chrome on the right side has all peeled off down the entire length of the board. I live in upstate Ny and they do salt the roads but it's only 9 months old.

 

Have an appt at the dealer Thursday am for them to "look" at them but was wondering if anyone else has run into this from a warranty sense.

 

Thanks

      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.
