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

Put on ICI Magnum RT Steps over the holidays.  I'm very happy with the look and matches my headache rack well. IMG_6751.jpg.91c0a9763969bdac702f85538e3e5554.jpgIMG_6750.jpg.2d462e34623ca478dbaae48a85cfbed0.jpg

I just ordered my plug-n-play Amp Research steps from AutoAnything for less than $1,200 with overnight delivery!  I'm excited to get these and put them on!

 

I will be selling my OEM 6" chrome running boards in case anyone is interested.  Only been in use for 3 months and look showroom new.

I hope you got the plug and play option, it will make your life much easier

Just curious on how you did this. I ordered mine last week and paid more than that. They typically don’t accept any discounts for those

I just found the lowest price I could online (which was some sketchy website I wasn't comfortable ordering from) and asked them to match it.  They beat the price by $1 AND threw in free overnight shipping.  I just got them an hour ago in fact.

Damn. Wish I would have thought of that.

Well, I got the AMP steps installed this weekend....was not really a fun project even with the plug-n-play.  The alignment of the steps against the body when retracted is annoying.  The front of the step is lower from the body than the rear.  Research shows this is common on the Silverados.  I like them otherwise.

Mine are on their 3rd nasty winter without any problems.  And the stuff they put on the roads in PA is some of the most corrosive around!

 

Just keep them clean and spray the joints with some silicone lube and they work great!

Has anyone installed a set of the Go Rhino RB20s? was looking at these as a more minimalist approach and tossing the drop step onto the passenger side for the GF. Thanks.

Anyone try Realstep or a similar product? It is a metal step that attaches to your standard 3" nerf bars.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
