FYI for anyone who has these steps - if you unhook or replace your battery, make sure to remove the fuse before reconnecting the battery or your steps won't work. This video saved me from that (didn't know cause I didn't install them). Thanks guys!
this video helped me. bought my 19 rebel from Volkswagen dealership and they didn't know how to activate them. told me to go to dodge dealership to help me. 2months I went with the running boards not activating. so today I went to the dodge dealership. set an appointment for next week. Decided I couldn't wait and looked for videos and came across yours and say it all. and we'll saw where it connected in the bottom of the steering wheel. so I checked and come to find out.... IT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED ALL THIS TIME 😄 🤣 😂. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for posting. You guys crack me up!. I just finished installing these on my new 22 RAM 1500 and your video was a big help. No job is too big for your driveway! Well done, thanks again.
Pulled the trigger on 2020 RAM LARAMIE today and was considering these. My biggest worry would be the wiring and popping off parts of the truck. Thanks for the great video guys. I'm sure I'll be watching it a few more times.
Thanks for the video. I purchased my amp automatic steps through eBay for a good deal but didn't come with instructions. I used your video for reference. Thanks they work great 😎👍🏽
im doing this on a 2021 ram 1500, and i think they must have reconfigured the wiring a little for this model year, i had no issues at all with repositioning the wiring harness bracket, i didnt have to unclip it from the frame, and there is no part of the wiring that's in contact with the edge of the frame anywhere it could rub. it was very simple to move the bracket
Now that I have a truck again to tow, I should bring down my ZL1 and we can hit up Button Willow or ACS :) Both of you guys help me spend money... Did a water cooled PC last year because of Jays videos, now new AMPs I said I would not buy again ... haha
Lmao I knew instantly who Jay was. It's nice to know he works on his own vehicles. Somthing tells me Linus would send his truck to the shop lol.. Thinking about getting a 1500 Laramie eco diesel.
Hey man just wanted to let you know I have the same kit and truck - 2020 ram rebel when I installed the steps moving the wire harness on that relocation bracket exactly the same way as you. My wire harness failed from rubbing against the frame where that hole is in the body melted my wires together and engaged my parking brake at 35 mph. I had to pay $3,629.43 to get everything fixed. Amp research will not take blame for this whatsoever. Check underneath where it is bent at a 90° angle and hope your wires aren't rubbing. This is a design flaw from amp and now my warranty is voided on a truck 4 months old
I have same exact truck and installed same AMP RESEARCH BOARDS PSSSENGER SIDE LOOKS GOOD BUT FOR SOME REASON DRIVER SIDE DOES NOT LOOK SAME IT HANGS DOWN TOWARDS THE END
Thanks for the help. Want to install on my 2020 Laramie. I don't understand why you changed the bracket in the beginning. Don't see it referenced again in you video nor the instructions from AMP. Please advise
Hey there. Wondering if there are any videos or info on his suspension set up. I’ve been looking high and low for that exact look but can’t seem to get any answers. Also will be ordering through your link! Thanks man this video made it look easy!
I will attempt this install on my 2020 RAM Rebel. Since there is almost no difference between 2020 and 2019 I am assuming the AMP Research 76240-01A will work for my RAM? Another questions those wheels look really nice, would you share the brand and where to buy them. Thanks!
Hey guys I ran my harness in the support you’re strapped to. Just use a flat head screwdriver and pull apart each section as you lift up the tabs. Do the lower ones too.
@@Lethalgarage yeah, mine did not come with it. Have a 2021 rebel. I think it was just left out of the box. I emailed AMP. Hopefully they can send me one.
@@Lethalgarage I spoke to AMP Research today. It turns out, they changed brands of motors they supply with the powersteps. The new ones are a lower profile and the relocation bracket is supposedly not needed anymore. Thats why it wasn't included in the packaging.
I installed these today on my new 2019 Ram. This video was definitely helpful. The one question I have is about the “clunk” sound when the steps retract. I assume that’s normal since it’s similar on both sides. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
The owner should think about doing flat black to cover up that gloss black they look so much better I have the same truck and did it to my Granite Rebel matches the bumpers and flares a lot better
In the process of installing... Attempting to drill through the pinch welds and can't get through! Any advice? Using Cobalt bits and wired drill. Feels like each hole will take me an hour of drilling. Feeling like I don't care to have LEDs at the moment. Help!
Can you make this amp research side step out when you lock your door? This would help with door dings... just wondering if you can make it actuate out when you park???
What if you need to use the OBD port for other purposes. Will the steps not work if not plugged into the OBD connector? I feel like there should be a different way to wire it in.
I have your truck lethal. Same color probably close in year too. a '15. Im installing amp steps on it now and i need to see how you did yours because its more difficult than that new kits.
Not true that they got it right on the 19 for amp research steps. There is actually 2 different amp kits you can purchase depending on what you want to spend or how much install effort you want to endure. They have a kit that is completely plug in play with no wire splicing or a wired in kit. I bought them for my 14 ram Laramie and went with the plug and play. I didn't have to tap into anything which is why I wanted the plug and play. The other optional kit was all direct wire splicing.
Nice. Do you know if these integrate with the uConnect system, so that there is a button on your screen to "deploy running boards" (for cleaning them)? If not, do these come with a switch to manually deploy them even with the doors closed?

The front pinch wells are the hardest metal to drill through, if your bits are dull.
I made it through with ease with bits I ordered online.
Link to bits? I’ve broken a few already.

Great video! Now we need to do steps on my 19' Silverado 😃
what did you guys do with the LED lights? It looked like you guys did not drill the holes. If so, why did you go that route?
I will attempt this install on my 2020 RAM Rebel. Since there is almost no difference between 2020 and 2019 I am assuming the AMP Research 76240-01A will work for my RAM?

Waseem Ahmad if you have the OBD II plug with two purple wires and a blue and white wire... you got the correct kit
Hey guys I ran my harness in the support you’re strapped to.
Just use a flat head screwdriver and pull apart each section as you lift up the tabs.
Do the lower ones too.
I saw the wheels with the duratracs but did he level it up and get 35" ridge graps??
Nice install and they look great.
I love shock top!!!!
That bracket you're holding at 2:48. Did that come with the powersteps? The set that I purchased did not seem to include that in the boxes.
It should have depending on your model truck. It relocates the harness so the motor and steps clear
@@Lethalgarage yeah, mine did not come with it. Have a 2021 rebel. I think it was just left out of the box. I emailed AMP. Hopefully they can send me one.

hello i need i just need the obd2 adapter port for a ram 1500 classic slt 2020 does anyone know what the part number is
In the process of installing... Attempting to drill through the pinch welds and can't get through! Any advice? Using Cobalt bits and wired drill. Feels like each hole will take me an hour of drilling. Feeling like I don't care to have LEDs at the moment. Help!
Need oil on the bit tip
Great install video, thanks! but you never said what you did about drilling holes in the pinch welds. Did you do that or no? thanks again.
We did.
What size lift or level and wheel/tire size and offset is on the Rebel i love the look
Can you make this amp research side step out when you lock your door? This would help with door dings... just wondering if you can make it actuate out when you park???
Just put your foot on it after closing the door

They make splitters
I have your truck lethal. Same color probably close in year too. a '15. Im installing amp steps on it now and i need to see how you did yours because its more difficult than that new kits.
I never shot a video :(
My issue with the unit is everyone is facing the connections upward on the control module... exactly how water can get in..
@@badlilstang I can report these have been on the truck for 5 years with no issues.

when you say 16 lb ft/ft lb when installing the motor, does that mean 16 rotations?
Kevin Hwang no, get a trq wrench and set for 16lbs
@@Lethalgarage 36 inch pounds for the motor to idler. 36 inch lbs is 3 foot lbs.
What did he level with?
JZ His head does not match his body.
Or is it just the lens
All my wires on my 19 are through that plastic housing under the hood lol don’t give up haha
My steps randomly stopped working can't find the issue
Does this work on a Big Horn 2019?
Nice. Do you know if these integrate with the uConnect system, so that there is a button on your screen to "deploy running boards" (for cleaning them)? If not, do these come with a switch to manually deploy them even with the doors closed?
Just keep your foot on them when closing the door
Will they fit a 2022 rebel
Do you have to drill for the led installation?
If you want to do it right, yes
What happen with Jays Camaro? Did he trade it in?
Still has it
yooooo didnt know you and j2c know eachother
Where’s the best place to buy these
Amazon
I love it my bro keep up work and love video and Chevy gang all day 💯💯💯💯💯👍
