Not even sure if that's what is called. I couldn't find anything on search.

 

I think there is a plug-in device that allows OBDII port to still be used even though the factory port is being used by the plug-n-play version of the AMP steps.

 

Anyone know what that is called and where to get one?

 

Thanks, Bill

Someone on here has one and talked about sending it back to get that money back and he was going to wire it himself. So maybe you can buy his. I'll have to do a little searching to find him.

Thanks Chuck... Looks like a real easy installation from the instructions.

Yes, it is. 5 minutes.

Well.....you still have the step mounting and power. The power harness goes directly to the battery.

I already have the steps on the truck, I just need the Pass-through Harness.

Hello Chuck,

Do the steps activate on all the doors? or just the front doors?

Yes, and the sides are independent. In other words, if driver door or back door on driver side is opened, only the driver side activates. If passenger or passenger rear door is opened, only the passenger side opens. Of course if driver and passenger open doors at the same time, both steps are activated.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
