Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has put ICI Magnum RTs onto a 2017 Silverado? Having some trouble with the moulding getting in the way of the boards hugging up to the rocker and wanted to see if anyone else had that issue and modified the moulding or if they just let them hang a little lower. I know this is a super specific ask, but if anyone has any input I'd love to hear what their experience was with it. Thanks. Updated with pics for reference.

I'll send some pictures in a couple hours of mine. I think we installed flush to the plastic caps with a small gap.

 

Won't need it to touch the body to receive rocker panel protection, having it slightly lower works great.

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

I recently installed Havoc HS2 bars. A little more step area compared to N-Fab. Very solid too.attachicon.gif20170513_175454.jpg

Put the ICI Magnum RTs on this weekend, loving them so far. Was a little worried they were hanging too low initially, but once I got everything tightened and adjusted where I wanted, they came out great. No flex, feel really strong and they're short wife approved [emoji23][emoji23].

anybody have part number for the GM chrome amp style steps?

 

GM doesn't make Amp style steps. The new ones from GM only come "out" not "out and down" like the Amps. And there are many threads on here where it was determined they can't be retrofitted to existing trucks without a LOT of custom programming to the BCM.

 

But to answer your question -- no I don't have a part number.

Installed the ICI Magnum RTs few months back got a deal on them for under 2 bills free ship no tax. After reviewing many running boards, dollar for dollar this was the best choice based off of reviews and value. Additionally have seen a few members stating they changed the silver bolts to black ones on the boards, however with past experience that wouldn't matter over time the black would wear back to silver so, I left those alone. Very easy to install don't see why other members had difficult time in doing so.

Got the ICI Magnum RTs as well and love em, install is very easy, I just had some issues with fitment with the factory moulding on the 2017 Silverado, but after a little toying around with it, came out great.

Yes sir, absolutely lovem as well, boards are just right even for a size 11 boot. Ive reviewed many boards and had noticed that the gap between the running board and underbody were more than what these display however, not as tight so that cleaning cant be completed.

How is the placement of the steps? Heard some complaints on N-Fabs about the step not being in the right position for natural entry / exit.

This is my second set of N-Fab steps and the step location is in the right location for me.

Just installed my RC steps

I'm selling my OEM ones

The RC steps are made by NFAB

There was a label in the box that said NFAB

Also the steps are definitely awkward for getting in and out of the truck. They should be further back

But they look good!

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
