Have been waiting not so patiently for AMP to manufacture power steps for the 2017

 

That may never happen. Now I heard GM is coming out with a DEF tank relocation kit. Is there any truth to it ???

On the diesel forums someone has posted about an aftermarket outfit working on a kit, but no news of one being released.

 

Other than this thread, haven't heard any rumor of GM building a kit.

I think it's Performance Diesel that's working on it. Can't remember which forum I read thread on but the OP was looking for AMP steps as well.

Same boat here. I just called amp and they said the 2017 steps shoukd be released by the end of next month. Also looking for info on a relocate def kit or some sort of aftermarket skid to at least help the looks of it.

I have an Ore-fab skid plate on mine since 2012. They started out as a "No-drill" install but the AMP steps used one of the same body bolts so they changed the bracket so you needed to drill one hole to install it. Bad thing is I heard that they were no longer in business, but I would check for one. :jester:

Just ran into a guy today at a CVS in CA. I was stopped in my tracks when I saw AMP steps on his 17 Duramax! Asked him about the steps and he said some company in Upland put them on. He was tight lipped about the specifics but he said AMP just came out with them. Wish I would have taken a pic. Of course, I called AMP and they are clueless. BUT I SAW THEM, I SWEAR :D Didn't cover the tank as much as I thought they would but it looked clean!

Seeing the guy mentioned Upland CA and knowing there's a few big upgrade type shops for trucks, etc. in that area...... Via another forum I'm on I sought out one of the members as he is tied into one of those shops and it turns out he may of been most likely the one that installed them on the truck you had saw that day. He say's they received a decent size shipment of power steps when the manufacturer started shipping that fit the 17-18 2500’s and he still has some in stock.:)

 

The shops name for those interested would be HTW Motorsports in Upland, CA located at 356 E Foothill Blvd, Upland CA 91786. ‪(909) 946-3338

One of the guys name to try to talk to would be Chris [email protected]

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      No.   That would be an LT and higher trim.  Passive entry.  There would be a little button on the door handle and you can program it to proximity lock or unlock.     WT and Custom do not get this feature.

      Mediocre, how much did they lose on the poorly conceived EV strategy?   I wonder how much the stock price is being 'inflated' by all the buy-backs?   Cadillac literally looks like a brand without a rudder, no clear goals or product direction - performance or luxury? I guess performance because we can throw a small block in whatever we can and call it a day. Certainly not luxury when a Denali or High Country is reasonably cross shoppable. The Celestiq - no way - no vehicle can command quarter million prices when something wearing the same badge is on the buy here pay here lot across town.   Notice the 'base' Escalade doesn't even come with the 'leather-appointed' seating surfaces.   Hummer EV - fail Silverado EV - fail Sierra EV - fail Bolt/Volt EV (The most successful EV cancelled, restarted, cancelled, whatever its current status it)   Hybrids - none Sedans - none Medium duty - not anymore Minivan - none Coupe - none Convertible - none CUVs - 20+/-   6.2 Recall that landed squarely on the GMs highest seller - and specifically the fattest margin higher trims of the Yukon, Escalade, et. al. The most critical product line they fumbled big time. In the Escalade segment, are those buyers forgiving GM for a bad engine and patiently waiting for the fixes and dealing with the headaches? Nope, they dump them and go straight to the other premium brands.   In the ENTIRE GM portfolio how many aspirational vehicles are there? Corvette, Escalade (quickly being superseded by the obvious better value Denali)...   I posted somewhere else... what if Cadillac left the luxury game and became a performance brand similar to AMG or (gasp) Ferrari? Cut all the entry-level and base models from their line up and focus on the V-series or Blackwing or whatever they call it now. Of course, those would have the pre-requisite luxury and technology as standard equipment. This opens the floor for Buick to step in/up as the luxury brand (like they are in China), no 'performance pretenses' get rid of the 'entry-level' models with equally 'entry-level' power trains and become the Maybach to Cadillacs AMG. With those two brands effectively out of the way Chevrolet, the 'entry-level' brand has the floor to itself and GMC can take over as 'professional grade'.    Now each brand has a focus, no in-fighting, clear direction, and customer targets.   Just need to sneakily slide Corvette into the Cadillac brand and dump the vestigial script writing.

      I can't get enthusiastic about the 1.5T (or the 1.3 or the 1.2), I won't drive a CVT. But the stupid things sell in volume.

      There is a big difference in motorcycles and vehicles - nobody needs a motorcycle, they WANT one. That WANT is the most powerful force to drive price upwards.   I've hated every iteration of the Equinox, a prime example of GM laziness. It excelled at absolutely nothing, barely competitive by every metric. At least the latest generation looks decent.    I want to like the Buick Envista, but that pitiful engine plus FWD only is a BIG NO for me, I don't care how good it looks.

      For as much hate as Ms. Barra receives on here, she sure is a shrewd businesswoman....
