Thanks for video.. just what I was looking for. Sorry to hear about diesel - I'm a dog guy myself. He was a great looking pup. My dog, Odin, turns 2 in a few days. I don't like to think about him not being around. I feel for you even though its been a while.They are always a part of you.
For 2007 you dont have to take off door panel it actually doesnt work that way its the yellow and black wire just above your emergency brake release theres 2 (yellow and black wire) but only one is for door ajar switch. This is for all the 2007 6.0 bros all other steps exactly as he has shown in this video
glad I watched this..my buddy had them on his F250 but sold it, so I couldn't use his as a reference to do mine. They incorrectly installed the arms with the motors at the front, which is right where the tires throw all the crap. I thought that was a bad engineering idea LOL...now I know it was just bad installation!!
Popping in to smack the thumbs up as always but this time I actually have a question My Passenger side step is freaking out just randomly goes up and down even if I’m in the house with the keys out of the truck any ideas maybe where I should start
That might could be a bad computer module that hooks to the battery from the amp steps possibly? Amp has awesome customer service I would try giving them a call! Could also possibly be hooked to the wrong trigger wire ? Not sure… maybe bad connection somewhere … but could maybe be back brain box .. call them and explain what’s going on and I’d say they can help diagnose!
I am up to 10:10 and you again point to the motors being in the rear. Which is contrary to the instructions and farthest from the wiring. Why did you do this?
To be honest no clue I didn’t do it wrongly on purpose if I did. It’s been so long I can’t remember. But they’re still holding up great to this day motors in rear , seemed to make more sense to me so they weren’t the first thing to get mud and road grime thrown on them. So honestly didn’t even read the instructions for that part. Just made sense
@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH Thanks! ya know, if it makes sense, go for it. If the wires are long enough and everything, i see no reason not to. You would have had extra wires to try to tie-up. i had trouble with the straw through the door. on mine there was a plastic cover over the wire loom on the inside, but finally it poked around it (had to help fish it with my finger from the inside) maybe they should give a smaller tube for easier use in shoving that straw through. I had to solder-on additional wire (supplied) to reach across to the left side of the truck, but still the wire was too short to reach the door ajar in the door.
Yes door ajar or trigger wire. Passenger side is taken care of in the harness. Hope you got yours done. Did mine a few weeks ago and love them. Well worth the money.
DOOM 524 AWESOME THANKS FOR WATCHING. The excursion is super super similar. Same kit just have to do a few steps different and wire colors may be different. But this vid should help. Also Amp research customer service is awesome I’ve heard so can always call them if you have any questions. THANKS for watching. !
Professional installers do not use quick connect or crimps. Everything is soldered together the professional way, shrink wrapped and taped the factory way, to make all aftermarket disappear so the factory techs can't be ready to cancel warranty. Just saying.
Too bad there are no trucks that have these factory man. A dealer will know if your stuff is aftermarket by looking at it. The rule is, dont mod any vehicle you dont own, unless the work is easily reversed
Yeah Definitley wouldn’t be a bad idea to solder and heat shrink all the connections! Adds to expense really. Can get solder, heat shrink, and a cheap soldering gun to do the trick for around 30-40 bucks. Still a savings of over 250+ dollars to do it even better. But surprisingly these crimp connects that are supplied are all heat shrink/soldering crimp connects. Forgot to mention that. And also the local line x told me everything I needed to install was in the kit. My honest opinion is they would’ve opened the kit and installed just as I did if I had to guess.
Look into the butt splices with solder integrates inside the heat shrink. I have fell in love with them. Just slide one on, get your wires twisted together and heat everything up.
It's dope how the steps on this Ford isn't visible when it's closed ..on my Chevy it sits in a visible area and I don't like it cuz it almost looks like it's always open and has a big gap between the steps and the body..I don't know if I can just re adjust the board or or if it's because of the motors underneath
good morning Justin, excellent explanation I have a f250 SD 2003, the controller (already very old) was damaged I want to replace it with a new one when searching I found an AMPRESEARCH 19-04280 STB, I would like to know if it is compatible with the one I need if you could help me I would appreciate it, thanks for the attention 👌🏻
Man I just subscribed to your channel really like all your videos always on them to see your new project hey I'm from Chicago and I'm hoping to see if you want to work on my truck very interested
On the rain where did you order your amp research how are steps and if you have a part number they will be helpful because I’ve been trying to get them and they seem to be out of stock everywhere 0 My place that might have them as Amazon please let me know
Man I am honestly not sure. I would definitley contact amp research and get a exact part number for which steps you need, their customer service is 10/10.
My question is, let's say you're offroad and open your door when there is something a little tall under your truck, will the steps force themselves down and destroy themselves? Or do they have a saftey like a garage door, that wont let them force shut and break something.
If it senses any pressure they come back up I’m pretty sure. I know if you shut the door and they have any pressure on them they will stay down until you redo the cycle open / close the door

Just picked up a set. Thanks for the info. I have a 22” lift so I hope these are low enough. Keep up the great content My dude!!!!!
Hey Justin great video man. 😎
I plan on getting a set of these for my Excursion! 👍
I need a set for mine too, been waiting a while to get them.
You get them on your Ex, I am installing a set this week on my ex

I only show amp having 08+
Did they discontinue or are you using 08+ model?
You have great content. 1999-2007 kinda gets swept under the rug. I have an 01. Thanks for your channel!

7:40 - instructions say for superduty, motors to the rear.
2005 Excursion....im almost finished my install,what is the purpose of the wire that has to go into the drivers door?
I’m not sure honestly I can’t remember , should be in the directions… I think it was the door ajar wire.
Yes door ajar or trigger wire. Passenger side is taken care of in the harness. Hope you got yours done. Did mine a few weeks ago and love them. Well worth the money.
@justinhawksmith you ready to put some DBA wheel lights on the avalanche
Yessir. Use that discount code when you buy save you 10% on your order. “HAWK10”
I can’t remember what lift and tire size you were on right here, can you tell me? Trying to get a reference for how my steps will set after my lift.
They drop down 14” from door sill plate if that helps you any. I honestly can’t remember myself.
@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH thank you man

Clicked subscribe. What did i win!
You didn’t win anything sadly… someday I will have giveaways tho where you will have the opportunity! Lol.
did you get the additional 2 inch drop?
No sir. They make the running boards sit a little lower with the drop so I opted to not get it. To keep the steps hidden.

Trucks looking good. We're did you order them from needing some for my f350 super duty
What brand of traction bars do you have on your truck bro??
I have a 2004 f250 6.0 do you recommend any good ones?
Go with PMF suspension traction bars they’re worth the money and will make truck ride and handle amazing. These were home made I built them.
👌🏾
id love to have these for my 02 f250 single cab
Great video rip our friend the dog.
What’s the lift on your truck?
I know this is an old post. Can you take both of the purple wires and run to the plug and play pass through harness?
I’m not sure man
Didnt get Notified
:( why
@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH youtube sucks lol
In your link to the steps it says they fit 99-01 and 03-07. Question would these fit my 2002 powerstroke?
Man I am honestly not sure. I would definitley contact amp research and get a exact part number for which steps you need, their customer service is 10/10.
RIP diesel
Good job
Need a set of these for my 08 🔥

@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH does the running boards for a 06 f250 super cab? Not a supercrew.
