DUAL OBD for AMP Steps with EDGE programmer

I have a 2015 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali and it came with 37's and 22's. My wife simply wanted steps to help ease the pain of getting in and out but with those steps it uses the OBD port as the easy power. My question is if I can just get a generic dual OBD pass through cable or if I have to get the AMP specific cable to run both the programmer and steps at the same time. The amp brand cable is $85 and I have seen pass through cables for as little as $9 on ebay and amazon so not sure if those will for or not. Need dual ports to plug in Programmer as well.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Won't be able to answer your OBD2 question but why not just hardwire the AMP steps? This would leave your port open for the programmer

I'm in the same boat, and while I don't have a tuner yet, I want to hardwire my amp steps. Should be pretty easy.

Hard wired my Amp steps to the truck harness per the included instructions. Works great no need for the $85 adapter cable.

Also I wired my steps so they only open with the front doors. This way if I am loading passengers I keep the front door open but if I am accessing gear in or under the back seat I am not cracking my shins on the step.

Yes you can. I did exactly just that. I have the AMP step, and just bought a splitter on Amazon around $10-$20, works just fine.

Just don't get the one with the on/off switch, it's missing PIN 1 which the plug n play needs. There are some that you can plug in place of the original ODB II port, while you tuck the rest behind/underneath the dash. I would just check to make sure it has all pins for pass-through.

Such problems

 

I would recommend using the AMP cord. For. Few bucks it makes life easier

 

Now I have a 2017 AMP DOES NOT have steps for the Duramax due to engine and DEF TANK changes

 

Will be a cripple by the timee they manufacture them. In the mean time will install A step on the drivers side.

Hate to drill holes...

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
