So getting older, hopping up in the bed of my 2024 is a little harder on my knees. While the bumper steps help tremendously in that aspect, I still thought I needed something else. 

 

Cue, Boost Auto and their retractable bumper step kit. Man, it makes it so much easier to get up into the bed now. Knee saver for sure. Its a nice solid unit that retracts nicely up to the bumper, and doesn't look too out of place. When lowered it gives you a foothold about halfway down between the OEM bumper step and the ground. The step pad is customizable a bit for your liking, with different pad designs and colors. 

 

Check out my full install video below.

great idea if you live in the south, wouldn't work long in the snow belt

 

I think it would be OK. Boost Auto is based out of the Chicago Suburbs, plenty of winter weather there. They do pretty rigorous testing and engineering on their products.

I just had their Lumastep M2 installed on my truck. Dont care for the way the guy wired up my engine bay at all Id play hell trying to decipher through it to fix it. The boards seem fine so far. The only thing I dont care for is the fact that the rear of the cab has a curve inward so the boards stick out on the backside.

Byrds,

This is from directly above. there are no adjustments on the brackets. The boards were all the way to the rear originally so I moved them more to the middle to try to take some of it out but it didnt help much.

That don't look right. I'd get a hold of Lumastep and see what's wrong.

I like the steps though.

I had the M2's installed on my 2022 1500 and it looked about the same, just the way the cab curves. 

 

I have a set of M2's coming from Boost Auto for my 2500. I'll see how they look on there.

I did get in touch with BA. They said due to the curvature of the cab, it's the way it's supposed to look. They did say if I slide the boards all the way forward it would take of it out. I just cant have them sitting all the way like that. Would drive me nuts looking off centered.

Let me know how it turns out.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
