Today I show you a detailed full install of Amp Research Running Boards on my 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT Trail Boss. If you are looking for a premium running board for your truck, look no further than the Amp Research Power Step Running Boards. These power steps deploy when you open any of the doors on your truck. They retract 2 seconds after you close the door. They come with a 5-year/60,000mile warranty. The install was not difficult at all, but it is very time consuming. The steps also come with LED lights that illuminate when you open the doors, but I decided that my automatic OPT7 Underglow lighting was plenty of light. The board is 6 inches wide which gives you a lot of room to step on. I am a short guy and having these boards come down further than my drop steps made it much easier for me to climb in the truck.
When installing these power boards make sure you torque screws to the proper specs and don't over tighten. It was a little difficult to find a 1/4in torque that went down to 36in LBS. I finally came across a Pittsburgh torque wrench from Harbor Freight that did the job. It is really great that these are plug and play via the OBDII port. You can install these boards yourself, but it would be a little easier if you had a second person.

Very nice job, you said take out the fuse before you install it you're the first person I heard say that well done sir.

@zachattackcustoms 4 месяца назад

Thanks, I try to give as much detailed instructions as I feel are needed. Thanks for Watching!

@bobandrick8546 4 месяца назад

This is one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen.

@zachattackcustoms 4 месяца назад

I truly appreciate it! I try to be as detailed as I can. I strive to help people install things on their own instead of paying an arm and a leg to a shop.

@fixitdanner 8 месяцев назад

Looks good, great video.

@zachattackcustoms 8 месяцев назад

Thanks. These steps are pretty awesome. Highly Recommend!

@scottulrich4200 2 месяца назад

I have a 2020 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss 6.2. Just installed the steps myself in 5 hours. The part that took the longest was running the wires and installing the lights. 😂😂😂 Very easy and straightforward. Love the steps! Bought the Extreme (dual motor). Waited til they went on sale and pulled the trigger! Great video!

@zachattackcustoms 2 месяца назад

Thanks, yea I definitely love them.

@bruceb1958 3 месяца назад

When I saw that you used the torque wrench, I was pleasantly surprised.

@BuenasVibras909 8 месяцев назад

Damn I really wanted these steps but I have my range afm/dfm disabler on my ob2 port.

@zachattackcustoms 8 месяцев назад

They sell a splitter.

@r.g.martinez8697 8 месяцев назад

I also have a trail boss as well and wanted to know if you needed to get the step XL since the trail boss comes with a 2” lift

@zachattackcustoms 8 месяцев назад

No these steps come down pretty far, I have a 4in lift and it’s perfect.

@ifithaswheels7307 6 месяцев назад

Hello - Could you verify what socket you used for the motor torque? The instructions say 4mm hex but that does not fit. A T25 is close, wondering if you used something different? Thanks

@zachattackcustoms 6 месяцев назад

Yes, I am glad you brought that up. I forgot to mention that in the video. I used a T25. I believe a T27 fits a little better though. I also meant to reach out to them to let them know to change the directions. Thank you for reminding me.

@goatsmakesoapco.9113 Месяц назад

Do you know if these steps hang down further than your typical standard stationary steps attached to the truck? Can you measure how far the step is from the bottom of your body?

@zachattackcustoms Месяц назад

I would say they hang lower, they drop down about 6 inches.

@jdptootall Месяц назад

Very nice job, great video. ? 4 U. I have a 2024 Chevy 3500; My OBD2 connector has two wires coming out of it like yours; one wire is all purple and the other one is purple with black stripe and I have those connected. The steps do not currently deploy when doors open. The steps apparently need two more wires out of OBD2 blue and white wires to connect under dash at BCM to trigger the steps. Thoughts? Thanks!

@zachattackcustoms Месяц назад

It seems like they have changed a lot of the wiring on the newer trucks. I would reach out to realtruck support to see if they have a fix for this.

@antoniocarreon7177 12 дней назад

Did you resolve this? About to install on mine and I was wondering why this was different in the instructions? Did you get them to work?

@jdptootall 12 дней назад

I did get it resolved; there was a new OBD2 for the 2024 model year. I called RealTruck gave them my model & year and he pointed me to the correct replacement. All works perfectly.

@FranciscoGarcia-zd3pw 5 месяцев назад

Can I install this on a single cab short bed 2000 silverado? Thanks!!! 🙏🏻

@zachattackcustoms 5 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, it looks like they don't make them for that cab size for that year.

@mhernandez248 5 месяцев назад

We have a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado and we had a shop install our steps and the backdoors won't trigger the backsteps to open. They've trouble shooted them with the company and no luck. Any idea what may be our issue?

@zachattackcustoms 5 месяцев назад

I have been meaning to look into this issue. I will try to compare the wiring on the 2023’s OBD2 port to make sure the pins should be the same for the triggers. Also, I would check in your radio. There may be different door settings on the upgraded infotainment center.

@zachattackcustoms 5 месяцев назад

When you open the back doors, do you get an indicator on the dash telling that the back door is open?

@zachattackcustoms 5 месяцев назад

Are your rear windows working?

@zachattackcustoms 5 месяцев назад

Also, did you buy the boards or did the shop? The part number for the 2023 Chevy crew cab is AMP-76255-01A. Might want to make sure it’s the right part number.

@engineman02 2 месяца назад

You have to leave the harness connected to the OBD2 port for these to work?

@zachattackcustoms 2 месяца назад

Yes but they do offer a splitter

@tylertucker4478 4 месяца назад

These dont have any door magnets to install like the rough country ones?

@zachattackcustoms 4 месяца назад

Magnets? What are the magnets for in the rough country steps?

@tylertucker4478 4 месяца назад

@zachattackcustoms from other videos I've watched the magnets line up with a door sensor and that's what drops the step when you open the door. If the amp plug into the obd2 can I still use my scanner that plugs into my obd2 24/7 or will I have to pull out the amp one to use my scanner

@zachattackcustoms 4 месяца назад

@@tylertucker4478 Oh, yea the Amp Steps don't require door magnets. It's just plug and play. What I do when I need to use my scanner is just unplug the steps and then plug them back in when I am done with the scanner. Amp Research does sell a splitter if you don't want to worry about unplugging and plugging back in.
