I will be installing amp powersteps plug n play and would like to add a splitter. My question , is there a difference between the amp 76404-01a for around $85 - $165 compared to ones from Amazon  from around $10-$50 . I know the old saying you get what you pay for but  not always. I did find a unbelievable price for the amp powersteps  plug n play at $1169.99 legit site. Thanks

Will all obd2 splitters for the amp powersteps  work like the ones you can buy on Amazon for $15-$50 or do you need to buy the amp brand at $85- $165? Thanks

I have the amp power steps and I also run an edge programmer full time.  I have the splitter installed on my truck.  From first hand experience the cheap 14 dollar ones won’t feed a signal past the original hub.  Don’t ask me why but our trucks hate them.  I’m guessing the signal is feed two way and the battery doesn’t like it.

 

either my step sister would work or my programmer or nothing.  Bought the cheap one amp has and everything works just fine.

This is what I got for mine. If you don't need 3, they have a 2 splitter version. I found some of them don't have the right power feed to the amp powerstep (ask me how I know, [emoji28]), as they were missing the wire that powerstep used.

I have one going to my amp powerstep, one to my AFM disabler (modded with an on/off switch, so no need to remove if parked for a while) and the normal one for up front to plug in an ODB II scanner or the Bluetooth ODB receiver for use with torque pro app on my phone.

Thanks Guys, I also have the AFM disabler so the 3 port would needed in my case as well. Not to turn this thread into another topic but since I added the AFM disabler I seem to be getting  only 10.5 - 11mpg. I know it says 17mpg city but I was hoping to get at least 14 mpg . 2016 Silverado LT 1500 double cab. 30,000 miles. I am New to the site so it will take me a bit to get around . I will try to find another thread that is specific to MPG. or if someone can throw a link in to help speed me along. Lots of great info here on GM Trucks with people that walked the mile to get to the solutions and then take the time to translate it into "How to" Many Thanks in advance.

This.

 

Also the AMP one mounts directly into the factory bracket under the dash so if a Tech ever needs to plug into the OBD2 port it's just like factory.

My cheap 3 way mounts to the ODB II port just like factory as well. You have to be careful of which one you get as some don't have the correct wire config to match. That's why I ended up getting the one that I did, which had all the signal/power to work correctly.

I've had mine installed for over a year, no issues. My AFM/AMP Powerstep stays plugged in and my Bluetooth ODB II reader is there most of the time. Everything works with no issues.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
