Thank you so much for this "HOW TO" I just finished installing these on my new RAM and your video was a big help. Would be nice to have a shop like yours but my driveway worked just fine. Well done, thanks again.
I have these on my Silverado. Had one issue with the passenger side bouncing as it got to the lowest point. I called AMP and they gave me some instructions on how to try and fix it but it didn't work so they sent me a replacement arm and didn't need the bad one back. AMP has great customer service.
This was a great tutorial and I appreciate it but you did not show us how to plug the adapter in under the dashboard at the end and that left me confused LOL
I bought this set for my brand new 2018 Ram 2500 Mega Cab and they gave me fits to install them! They Do Not Fit. I followed the written instructions exactly to the letter. Got all done, was all proud. Put power to them… And the retracted up under the truck and wedged behind the pinch welds. I worked for hours putting brackets and linkages on than taking them back off numerous times, I adjusted brackets and linkages to NO avail. The boards jammed up and got stuck under the truck every time to the point where I had to remove the motors and pried them out from under my brand new truck scratching up the AMP Research running boards. Decided to call customer service. I called and spoke with Brian Weaver. I explained my situation and he seemed to know exactly what happened. Brian said “they got stuck behind the pinch weld right???” I said Yep!!! He said with a snarky little attitude “I’ll send you an email that’ll explain what to do”… So I get this email with an eight step process to remedy the problem. I followed that set of instructions to the letter again. Well step # 8 said if all else fails take a hammer and bend the pinch weld seam over to make it fit. I tried but I would have had to bend that seam over 45 degrees and I didn’t want to go that far with the sledge hammer. Long story short I had to take a 4” angle grinder, remove ¼” + off the top of the pinch weld seam to get my new $1500 AMP Research’s running boards to operate on my $70,000 brand new truck. Needless to say I was PISSED!!!! For that amount of money the AMP Research product should have fit like a glove. If you are looking to buy a set of nice power retractable running boards LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE! Don’t spend your money here, You will be Disappointed !!!!! PS… I took the AMP Research badges off the steps so they don’t get any free advertising from me. They better run flawlessly for a long time… If they so much as hiccup I’m going to unbolt them and throw them into the dumpster……. I’ll definitely let you know…….
That's not fair to have a shop that nice!!! Wow, a lift and all that room??? If I had that set up my frame would be waxed, lol. That Ram is awesome, all the mods you've done are really nice. Great job.
I just installed this on my 2008 F-15O. I am very impressed by the quality an how well everything fits the factory mounts. The installation on the Ford didn’t have any surprises.
Great. Video thanks. I bought mine from. eBay. I got a great price for them. Hit came with no. Directions. Thanks for video helped me a lot on the install specially for the step lights 😎👍🏽
Good job, looks great. Helpful hint: When you want to twist small to medium gauge wire (AWG) use a variable speed drill instead of a screwdriver it is quick and easy to control. I do it all the time when making multi-wire cables. I am thinking about getting a white Laramie Sport so your channel is very helpful.
Quality work. I also have 19 Ram 1500 Laramie w/ Black Appearance package and those steps. The only issue I discovered is a vibration in my steering wheel since installed. It's not bad, but annoying. I haven't tracked down the issue yet.
There is an active noise canceling canister on each side right where the support arm for the Amp board step is. You will need a Torx 40 to loosen slightly and angle the canister away from the support bar. The funny thing is that I had a certified dealer for amp install mine and they did not know this. I found this information on the 5thGENRAM forum.
FYI...the REVISED kit no longer comes with the relocation bracket.. I had to remove the driver side motor to get it plugged in... advise installing it last..
Hi. Do your power running boards come down further/lower than the factory style chrome running boards? I have a 4" lift on my truck and the wife finds it too high getting in the truck now because she's short lol. Thanks.
After installing Amp research power running board on my Ram 2022. I am feeling vibration on my steering wheel. Any idea why this is going on will be appreciated.
I’ve ran through numerous drill bits 1/8 and they either break or don’t drill through . What type of drill bit are you using to drill wholes for lights ?
Hey awesome video. Thinking about getting these for my Laramie sport. Just wondering though if they show up on your Uconnect screen? Like how the factory ones do where u can deploy them while inside the truck or do they just go down only when the doors open? Thanks! And love the channel
Yeah they do not show up in the screen like the factory ones that is all factory programmed these run independently with the plug in the obd2 port and deploy when the doors open
I hate the power ones because it offers no protection when someone is parked next to you and oops there’s a dent in your door because someone opened it too hard or the wind caused it
Are you able to control them by the infotainment? I have the exact truck but not sure to go OEM or these. I want to be able to control them via the infotainment.
Any issues finding the place to plug the small 2 pin plug for the OBD? I have the new body style 2019 and the side dash panel does not remove like the older styles.

@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA I appreciate your response. You made a great video. I just got a 2020 Ram 1500 and my local performance shop is having trouble finding Amp steps that for my truck. Anyway thanks again.
Amp Research has a great track record and I was able to get them for a decent price and from what I've found the dealer gets back ordered pretty easily plus I like the lights
Love your videos on the ram I have the same truck, just wondering was there a reason you chose amp steps over factory steps? I notice I can get the OEM power steps for 1500$ and will work with the uconnect system vs amps 1800$ for crew cab and no connection to uconnect, does the amp steps come down lower or some other reason you chose those? Thanks and keep up the great videos
the amp steps i think do come down lower I got them through my buddy Todd and they were a better deal than stock so I went with the Amp steps, glad you like the vids thanks for watching
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA i have the factory ones, but the amp research look much better with the lighting! i don't think i have ever used the interface on the touch screen
Just installed these today and followed your video by any chance did you experience any problems with your screen display my AC won’t sync, no options given for door & lock settings, heated seats and wheel options gone and my backup camera icon disappeared after starting the truck up
Great vid! Good explanation on the install. I recently bought the RAM 1500 2019 and these AMP powersteps are on my to-buy list. What model are the steps, 76240-01A?
Hey Steve, good job, great looking install. Just curious how long those steps are? Kind of looking for something to do a custom install on my 0ld 80's Jimmy to help compensate for tires and lift, but obviously need to have them a little shorter than for a 4 door ram. Thanks!
I would call Amp research directly and see what kit would be closest to your needs I believe the end caps can be removed and then you can shorten the board if need be, Thanks for watching
Can you please help me out something like this so my 80 year old mom can get into my 96 Ford Explorer much easier? I'm on a fixed income and I really need this for my mom. Please help.

This is the 1st channel I’ve ever seen that you show everything step by step... and everything to the T...very awesome brother...
Thank you I appreciate you watching
You’re the guy I want installing mine!
Very skillfully and thoughtfully done.Great job!
Just got my AMP STEPS today thanks for the video I know things to watch for as I crawl around in my dirt driveway installing them
The steps look great, but I'd swap out those LEDs for ones the same color as the mirrors. Maybe one of those long underglow strips :D
Out of all the install videos I watched this one is the best. Thank you.

You mean the obd 2 port connection? I actually did this same install a second time on my Rebel it should be in that one

Wow! It's amazing,very good power step,if you really have a money you can buy it for your pick up.

Love the cassette tapes above the new vice !!
JOSHUA ZOEBISCH lol glad you noticed I got a bunch from the auction and been playing them in the shop takes me back to when I was a kid
4 years later, how have these power steps held up? My truck didn't come with power steps, does this kit come with the Motor to install?
They are good I have a video on the installation 2 actually
Couldn't have done without the garage walk thru.
Quality work. I also have 19 Ram 1500 Laramie w/ Black Appearance package and those steps. The only issue I discovered is a vibration in my steering wheel since installed. It's not bad, but annoying. I haven't tracked down the issue yet.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that has had this issue .
Great Video- I’m going to give it a try myself thanks to you.
How did you plug in the driver side motor without taking it back out?? I cant even begin to get the plug on it.. to tight agaisnt the body!
how well do these do if you do some heavy offroading and plan to bang them up?
can't say i have done that but they are pretty durable
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA thanks for the quick response.
I’m at the drilling the holes stage and it’s been kicking my butt. Any tips on it?
came for the install, stayed for the vise
Great job- keep that hammerdown!
FYI...the REVISED kit no longer comes with the relocation bracket.. I had to remove the driver side motor to get it plugged in... advise installing it last..
Looks good. Led the truck
Have them on my 2017 Colorado and they are great!
And Will they fit a 2022 rebel?
Great video when u lock & unlock ur truck do the step light turn on ?
Hi. Do your power running boards come down further/lower than the factory style chrome running boards? I have a 4" lift on my truck and the wife finds it too high getting in the truck now because she's short lol. Thanks.
Yes they do I have a 6 inch on my Rebel and getting in is easy with these steps a must have IMO
Very thorough explanation.
Is this just the reg amp research not xl correct?
Yup regular

I’ve ran through numerous drill bits 1/8 and they either break or don’t drill through . What type of drill bit are you using to drill wholes for lights ?
Mine were MAC in the vid but on my second install on these I just ran the wire under the pinch weld on my Rebel
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA thnx for the info , I sharpened a mason 1/8 old drill bit and it drilled through like butter ! Btw your truck is beautiful!
Any way to change the bulb color??
If you got a colored film to cover it that could work
Nice running boards ..I want them on my ram rebel now...what do they go for
around 1500$

I want these for my 2019 ram but I don’t know about drilling into the truck for those lights tho
You can just run the wires under the pinch weld
Its a truck it aint gunna hurt😂
Was this the ( plug and play ) ?
Do you do installation for those ? I’m in pa as well
I have this but only 2 light is working the other 2 is not. What do I do? Thanks
you can check your connections for power or individually test the lights
Great video. When you installed the boards, did you have any type of lift or leveling kit installed?
Robert Mullins nope that is stock height
Thanks, very helpful, and detailed!
Where do I buy these
any local accessory store or online
Where are you located?
Pennsylvania
Will these amp steps for 1500 fit on a 2500?
That I would check the website but they should have a set of not
Great install. When are you gonna get a exhuast and possibly a cold air intake
I am in the works on some exhaust thanks for watching
@@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA your welcome keep up the great work and good luck with your garage.
where do you buy the sikka activator ??
TSE's auto accessories
I hate the power ones because it offers no protection when someone is parked next to you and oops there’s a dent in your door because someone opened it too hard or the wind caused it
DISTRESS
I’ve read if you apply pressure to the boards they will stay down until you open the door again.
Is there a way to deploy them while the doors are closed so when your washing your truck you can clean them?
I installed mines but when I step on the driver side board it clicks , would up know why? I wish there was a way I can send you a video.
May have something loose? mine is quiet
Are you able to control them by the infotainment? I have the exact truck but not sure to go OEM or these. I want to be able to control them via the infotainment.
I didn't see anything in the infotainment I'd say that is something ill have to ask the dealer

Hey, I’ve been trying to find the exact model of Amp Research power running board for my 2019 Ram 3.6 V6 crew cab. Can you help?
Great vid, couldn’t help but notice you didn’t use the steps getting into your truck at the end of vid haha I guess just a habit of not having them
lol I noticed I did that too force of habit I guess
truck looks beautiful especially in black. but the recalls from chrysler scared me away to get a ford
Awesome!
