Getting into your truck shouldn't feel like climbing Mount Everest. That's why AMP Research invented POWERSTEP™, the automatic, electric-powered running board that instantly extends when you open your door, and then hides itself safely out of sight when the doors close for improved ground clearance, aerodynamics and appearance.
Watch us install an Amp Research powerStep on a 2014 Dodge crew cab short bed.

Watching this dude install these steps made me grateful for the two items that I have in my toolbox. A credit card and a phone.

Thanks for this video. I didn't understand their instructions at all for the wiring, really lucky I found your video!

@patrickoconnor1219 6 жыл бұрын

This is one of the better instructional video's I seen while doing my research. Very helpful and answered some open questions I still had. Hard wire is the way to go - more difficult but will be worth it in the end. Will be purchasing and installing on my 2018 Mega

Great video. I saw you struggle with the rivet at the beginning, I thought that was great to show because, as you know, NOTHING goes perfectly when installing things. Many "how to" videos skip the nitty gritty parts of the job and just show the clean, edited version and I find myself saying, "did the whole install really go that smoothly? Didn't they have trouble with this bolt or that plate, etc. " Seeing you have a little trouble along the way shows how installs REALLY go, with fumbles along the way being a normal part of the job. You're now my goto site for installation tutorials. Keep it up!

+Rick K Thank you very much! We do try to edit out some of our struggle because if we didn't we would have several hour long install videos. However, we are still human and do have difficulties all the time with installations. We try to let the viewer know in the video of any struggles we had even if we did not show it in the video. We hope you enjoy our videos!

That amp under the dash is definitely a pita, had trouble finding that last screw.. im installing on a 2018 ram2500, so thanks very much for the video , i opt for a hardwire kit instead of the pnp because its not avaiable yet , plus I wanna keep the port open for something else. Perhaps a tuner.

Got these for my 2015 Ram 2500 mega. Can't wait to get these on! I ended up getting the plug and play. Beats ripping out the dash to get to the wires.

great, but what about someone in a big medium duty or heavy duty truck. I blew out my knee but still want to drive my truck. It's 2 ft to the running board or if I removed the running board it's a 3 ft climb into my cab. I can't do it any longer because of my knee. So I'm out of work until . . .

Thanks for the video, if you could describe which violet/gray wire for the driver rear door (blue connector) that would be awesome. I have the dash torn apart before I watched this video. All my connectors are unhooked so I can't test the two wires. Thanks again for the video, best I've seen -Matt

@roblowe9846 9 жыл бұрын

Matt, you probably found this out by now, you can test continuity while the connector is unhooked.

Something that I didn't see in this video or other power step install videos, do you install additional rivets x 2 at the top of each linkage as a last step. My instructions show it and I've yet to do it. Didn't know if it was really necessary...

***** We actually went back and installed ours, it’s just important to make sure you put some paint on the holes that you drilled.

@christopherleonard5838 8 жыл бұрын

Soapy water provide good lubrication when it's wet, but when it dries there is no lubrication. Unlike using oil or grease as a lubricant, it never really dries and the bolts can come lose even if you use threadlocker. I used so pay water all the time for stubborn rubber exhaust hangers, slips off like nothing but when it dries it stays sturdy on its hanger. I hope I explained that we'll enough... I don't know if that's the exact reason that they recommended it but that's at least the reason I like to use it.

I noticed that you didn't use the pop rivet that the instructions say to use on the top part of the Hanger, was that intentional? Is the pop rivet unnecessary? Great, insightful video.

Did you have to relocate the brake cable? I have installed a set before on a 2010 Ram. Now I have a 2016. Never done that before. Don't like the idea of messing with brake cables.

Why did you run the wires back into the cab? All those wires are under the fuse box in the engine compartment. Was very easy to just hook them up there

The instructions had us run them into the cab to tap into individual door wires.

Sounds like you may have pierced a wire that you should not have. Go through the entire harness to find the compromised wire(s).

Thoroughbred Diesel Thank you for replying. I have Uploaded a video showing what my truck does, when it is completely shut off. If you wouldn't mind taking a look at it i would gladly appreciate it. thanks in advance. i have checked all wire and connections and it appers that all of them are connected correctly.

@thoroughbreddiesel 7 жыл бұрын

Only thing to do is to completely unhook all of the step wires and begin backtracking. If this happened when you installed the steps then it likely is related to the steps.
