This a review and installation of the AMP Research / Lund International PowerStep. This was installed on my 2015 GMC Sierra Extended cab. This kit will fit any 2014-2017 GMC Sierra or Chevrolet Silverado Extended or Crew cabs. The AMP Powerstep connects directly to your OBD II port.

I just installed these on my 19' 2500 and as soon as I stuck the fuse at the hot wire in the steps raised up and won't go down when I open the doors. I assume this is the same instal as the 18 you did so I was hoping maybe you could point me in the right direction. Did you ground to the frame and where did you tie in the hot wire to the battery. This battery has like 5 different locations and Im thinking this may be my problem. Thanks in advance!

06:58 Might want to get the AMP Research Override Switch because standing on that will cause heavy strain on the gears, and motors over time. That will lower the life expectancy of them in the long run. The switch is also real simple to install and they allow you to keep the steps up when you don't want them out, and down when you want to clean them.

My driver's side developed a clicking sound when they reach the fully retracted position and if deployed I can pull it up slightly and get the same click. Called customer support a couple times to help troubleshoot. Ultimately they recommended about $50 in replacement parts. Dealership installed when truck was new, that was three years ago and they haven't needed anything other than lubed until now.

My experience today was a disaster. I have a 2016 RAM Laramie 1500 truck. I had the chrome steps but they were too close to truck to be any use. I went to the dealer and had the automatic step running boards installed today. They seemed to work OK. I drove down to Home Depot which was about 2 miles down the road. When I got in of the truck the running boards retracted then extended and retracted over and over. It was doing this on both sides. My wife was upset not knowing if they would just break and fall down. We were about 1 mile from the dealer so I headed down the feeder road all the time the running boards were banging up against the truck. The accessory lady came out and saw what was going on. I video recorded this while they were looking at this. She called the people that put them in and told her to leave the truck. I got a loaner truck from the dealer and went home. This was my experience with the electric running boards. I hope they can get this problem fixed as soon as possible.

Ok, so what about when it is snowing? Do they still operate as easy as they do when it is warm weather? Will Snow and Ice hamper the rails from working correctly? Will they get frozen from water and Ice build up? Will they work on a Regular Cab Short Box? Do I cut them to size as well? I know that these are a lot of questions, but before I spend $1500.00 I would like the answered to these questions.

Hey, how are they holding up now? They look pretty solid though By the way, is yours with "2 in" extension or just regular?
@GearsGadgets
@GearsGadgets 6 жыл бұрын
Mine are just the regular. No 2” extension, they would be way too low with the extension unless you had a lift. They are holding up awesome. Wife and kids love them and I love that I don’t lose any ground clearance with them. I recommend if you can afford it.
