Amp Research Folding Step ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am looking to get some running boards. I really like the Amp Research steps. I was wondering if anyone here has bought and installed them. How do they fit? How hard of an install? Any pics.

Love them! 2nd pair, had them on my F150 prior to my sierra. Easy to install.

How hard was the wiring?

Generic thread about all nerf bars and side steps, but a lot in there about the amp steps: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/156839-assist-steps-running-boards-nerf-bars/

 

As for the steps, I second the above. Love them. On the wiring, if you do the new plug and play, very easy. for the "old style" aka, hardwired, not bad if you have experience getting into your door panels (any vehicle really), if not, still easy, just time consuming. If you are looking for some still, check here: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/158542-15-off-amp-power-steps-free-shipping/

I think the 15% off still is in effect. ignore the numbers in the first post (it won't let me update it), on the last page is the numbers for the new plug and play model.

Thank you very much! The ones on Ebay and online don't say anything about plug-n-play. The discount code still works and is on the first page of their site. They do not list a crew cab standard box. Just the crew shortbox. I can't imagine the box length would change the steps do you?

I have the AMP plug n play steps. Basically this version gets all the door position signals from plugging into the data socket below the dash. It has a passthrough connector to retain original function. Then power and ground are needed. No problems after a few months now. My wife loves them.

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
