Now I have nearly 2 weeks for my install, so I just take my time with all the wiring, etc. At the end of the week, I call back and they tell me the production line was tied up and my part should be shipped next week. He tells me “ we have to make that part and we should be able to get that done by the end of the week”. The customer service guy is frustrated and not getting it, so I email him the picture. I call AMP Research and attempt to explain the situation over the phone. Now onto the install which could be best categorized as “ The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”!Īs you can see by the above picture, one of the front idler linkage assembly was completely destroyed during manufacturing! I’m pretty sure this piece is billet aluminum and during the pressing of the hinge-pins, something obviously did not line up! How the heck did that piece make through any sort of QA/QC? Now I’m wondering about everything else, right? They were shipped on a Thursday and I received them the following Monday…. ![]() I found a 10% discount code online, no sales tax and free shipping out of CA. They are considered “ the official authorized in-stock shipping center” for AMP Research. I decided to pull the trigger and ordered the PowerSteps from. When the PowerStep were finally released this year, I followed Josh Mills thread on his install as well as Pete/Sandman Ranger. I had them powder coated metallic-grey to match the Sport Trim. So I opted for the Westin HDX Stainless Drop Steps. The AMP PowerSteps were not available yet and they said it was going to be months before their release. However, when I watched my Wife and Mother-in-law struggle to get into the truck in their church dresses, I knew I had to do something. When I first got the Ranger, I really didn’t want any sidesteps/bars at all. With apologies to fellow 5G member Phil Schilke…. I decided to finally get a set of the AMP Research PowerSteps for my Ranger. NO need to enter door panels to locate wiring.After much deliberation….One of the newest features of the AMP Research powersteps are a 5 second time delay to keep the steps deployed just in case you closed your door by mistake and keeping unnessesary wear and tear on your Truck or SUV. AMP's patented technology on the powerstep electric steps are extruded aluminum steps with full length internal ribs and a high texture finish that make these power electric running boards the best of the best. The AMP Research running boards feature an industry leading 600 lb load capacity per side. ![]() The AMP Research powestep electric steps increase fuel efficiency by reducing the aerodynamic drag underneath the bottom of the vehicle. This step includes AMP's all new Plug and Play system which allows for an easy installation cutting over 90 minutes off the install. The original AMP Research PowerStep electric steps are proven to perform in severe driving conditions and is backed by a full 5-year/60,000 mile warranty. Its handsome design, all-weather performance and legendary reliability set the industry standard. AMP Research invented POWERSTEP, an automatic, electric-powered running board step that instantly extends when you open your Truck or SUV door, and then hides itself safely out of sight when the doors close for improved ground clearance, aerodynamics and appearance.
