lol Glad I could help. Yeah that is not the most fun to get to.... but cheers you did it!!!!

Where do u put the jack after installing these? If someone accidentally places the lift under these steps, and lifts the vehicles up for service will it hold the body weight and still function normally?

@@anan7s294 The jack should only be put on the frame. If you lift from the boards they will not hold the weight and will damage them and the truck. If someone attempts to lift from the board and not the frame they should not be allowed to work on any vehicle ever again.

You can disconnect the plugs if needed. I would recommend that you disconnect the negative on the battery or batteries if its a diesel. As for the wire routing they do a pretty good job showing you in the instructions and if you fallow them you won't run into any length issues. Everything is done the same whether is it is a gas or diesel. In my video I was working on a diesel.

They came as a part of the step wiring. As for adding them I wouldn't know where to begin. What I would do is reach out to customer service and double check the steps are correct.

Dis you get this figured out? I believe I have the same issue with my 24 gmc 2500. Only the two purple wires. Steps won't deploy. Thanks.

All I know is that it is a wire that has to do with a signal either going to or coming from the doors.

Did you just cut those wires and splice with OBD wires? Or did you cut them and have to splice in the original wire in addition to the obd wire?

@@jeremyjones214 There is no cutting of any factory wires. The only wires you might trim up are the purple ones that run from the step's wiring harness to the obd2 plug that comes with the amp boards. You can see these purple wires at 8:14 in the video. As for the BCM they supply wire taps that you can see at 7:54 in the video.

It is a Duramax as well. Not sure if that makes any difference.

I believe the 2021 is strictly the OBD2 where as the 2024 needed the extra 2 wires running to the BCM due to something changing between the years. The reason I don't exactly know, my guess is it is grabbing signal for one set of doors at the OBD2 and the other set at the BCM. This is a guess....

There is 3m tape on the back. Make sure the area you are mounting the lights is cleaned very well before you stick them down. Also I would get some extra zip ties I use a few mare than they send with the kit.

I don't like to drill for the lights. I think it's unnecessary, gives it a place to rust and I have never had an issue with it going around the pinch weld like I did in the install. Just make sure that you clean the area you are going to stick the lights very well and firmly press them on. secure the wires so they are tight an you will be good. Been installing amp steps like this for a long time and never had them rubbing though the insulation. One thing to keep in mind is you will want to lube the joints on the steps every 6 months with WD40 or equivalent after getting them nice and clean. To keep them down just open a door, stand on them, then close the door while still on them. This will not hurt them. Lack of proper maintenance is the #1 issue I see with amp steps. Causes the motor to fail prematurely. I you have any questions on install comment on here and I will get back to you ASAP or Shoot me an email. It's under the links on our main KZfaq page. Hope the install goes smoothly.

super appreciative, my guy. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. Looking forward to it!@@XtremeTruckAuto

You can pull the plug if needed. As for pulling the wire out of the plug its self no. You are going to use there supplied wire taps.

any luck, ordered for 2024 custom trail boss 1500 gas. Anyone have answers?

All the wiring under the dash is for door signals. In turn causes the brain to send power to the lights an motor

Your jack should go on the frame. These boards fold up to the body and should not be an issue.

I always do both. I would recommend that you do the same.

Appears to be the same if not very similar to the ones in the video. Pulled the info below straight from their instructions. APPLICATION MODEL YR PART # Chevrolet Silverado 1500/ GMC Sierra 1500 - All Cabs 2022 - 2023 76255-01A Chevrolet Silverado 1500/ GMC Sierra 2500/3500 - All Cabs 2024 76255-01A

With the amp step XL tend to be slightly louder when it come to the motor because of the linkages being mounted to the rocker bar instead of the rocker its self. This in turn allows for more sound to reverberate due to that bar. With that being said it shouldn't be a crazy amount louder.

I would take it some where to see if the check engine is related to the steps. There is a good possibility it is because of the steps being wired into the BCM. I would go back if you had them installed at a business and have them look at it because it is their risibility to make sure the install is done correctly. If they are not willing to do that I would never go back... As for the wires I would hook them up exactly how I have them in the video if it is a Chevy 2500/3500. If you need more help comment again and I will do my best to help you. Once the issue is sorted a code reader is needed to reset the check engine light.

Not that I know of.

Yes they are. There are two green with yellow stripe wires. The correct on is in the center of the connector. This is where I would start looking.

Unfortunately I have not herd. I'm still under the assumption that either the wrong harness or obd2 plug was sent out. Hopefully Real Truck is able to help you out and get it solved.

Having the same issue! Trying to get a new obd2 with 4 wires but they are on backorder. Did you resolve your issue with new obd2(4wire)?

One of the wires to the BCM is hooked up to the wrong wire. I would start there and double check everything is hooked up properly and to the correct wires. If it is hooked up properly then use a multimeter to make sure you are getting a signal form the wires. I know those barrel connectors can cause issues if the are overtightened.

Awesome, I’ll have to take a look at that. I appreciate the insight.

It's about 4 inches. The powerstep xl is roughly 6 inches.

Thank you!! The boxers were my coworkers' dogs. They were from a litter his dogs had.

Same here

Did you figure it out ?

Sorry to get back to you so late. Whats the YMM of your truck? Also what trim level is it? Sometime this can make a difference. I would start by testing the purple and the purple/black wire and see if you are getting a signal though them both. I have seen where you get good signal from one and no the other. Sometimes those barrel connectors and be finicky. Next I would check make sure the brain has good connection. Pull the fuse and disconnect the brain and plug it back in. That is where I would start typically it's right and left not front and back.

2024 2500 LT after install only back doors open. Any recommendations?

@@coreyhinson4170 I would do as I stated above if that doesn't work. unfortunately, I would need the truck in front of me to figure it out. They had good tech support been awhile since I have had to call them. If I come across the issue I will be sure to let you know how I get it resolved.

If you go disconnecting plugs from the BCM you will want to disconnect your battery. I believe there is a little tab that you will push towards the wire and you will pull the plug out. There might be a safety tab that needs to be pulled down to allow that tab to depress.

It was so easy to wire with the connectors removed. Just pull the small tab out and squeeze the connector and it will come right out. I removed the negative battery terminal and no codes were thrown. Thank you for your video.

That is true some of the amp boards are that way and I know some of the other companies boards are that way.

3-4 hrs. is what shops out here tend to charge.

I have the Same issue after instillation tonight. Haven’t found anything yet.

I have a 2024 2500HD Duramax and ran into the same issue. Talked with the manufacturer this morning. When connecting the posi-tap to the light green connector wires, there is two wires that are green/yellow striped. Make sure you tap into location #19. It’s in the middle if the deutsch. I switched that and it worked right away while operating the front doors. I also pulled the whole plug assembly out for ease of instillation. Made it a whole lot easier. Hope this helps. Great installation video. Helped a ton.

Double check your tapping the correct wires. There can be multiple of the same color. Also make sure the posi-tap is snug but not overtightened.

@@GaryDailey1980 The only thing I would add is make sure your posi-taps are sung but not too tight. I have had a few form other shop come to me and overtightening of the posi- tap was causing issues. I had to fix the BCM wires and re tap it. Not a hard fix but an annoying diag.

My guess is you wires that you wired to the bcm are swapped.

Yes, double check the wiring at the BCM. So far everyone who has posted in the comments about the same or similar issue have found that the wires where going to the correct color of wire but the wrong pin of the BCM connector.

Thank you
