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.

Are you asking about the Roll N Lock that is power opening and closing? If you are, it doesn't because the electric motor will keep it from being opened.

That is not true. Whoever told you that is full of it and needs to read the install instructions. All three of these cover are designed to have there rails parallel. It's done with how the rail and canister are made and some sort of shims for the rails to get them as parallel as possible (there is some margin of forgiveness). For example the Roll N Lock has you add to brackets to the bed by the bulk head and some butyl to fill the gaps on the front edge of the bracket. Retrax does it though the bed rails being wider that the bulk head than the tail gate. It is important that the rails are parallel as possible so the cover can function smoothly.

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.

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

The locking hubs I installed on this 95 ranger didn't come with any springs from what I remember (installed them 2 years ago). I believe it was the locking hub and new hub nuts the only thing I would consider spring is the thrust washer that come on the truck. What vehicle are you installing the hubs on?

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

Awesome to hear. It doesn't' happen often but I have seen it. I think the biggest factor on the longevity of it is how many times it is opened and closed.

If it does it is it is very minor. Nothing like Chevy. However there are a few companies that do make a narrow track kit for Chevys.

Unfortunately you are stuck with either a soft/ hard folding or roll up cover. None of the canister covers seem to be available.

Sorry to get back to you later than I had hoped. Things have been crazy here. The roll n lock will be a bit smoother in operation, as for which to go with I would like the TC USA epically if you do jeep things with it. TC USA you have the ability to set things on the cover with in reason with out damaging. As for the rattling I would think they would be about the same. Do you have a soft top?

@@XtremeTruckAuto thanks much for the reply! I have a hardtop. I doubt that I would need to put weight on the top but factors like rattle and drainage/leakage would be important.

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

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

You want the shorter end of the block to go to the front and the longer end towards the rear.

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.

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.

I agree but unfortunately the industry does not.

@@XtremeTruckAuto I concur 100%

Hell Yeah!!! If I was in the market for a truck it would be a 2nd gen or older Tacoma. Great trucks.

@@XtremeTruckAuto literally all it needs is oil, brakes, tires and gasoline

@@ocularpressure4558 that sounds about right on those trucks.

@@XtremeTruckAuto my wife hates it because she says it’s old and ugly but the truck just won’t die. It just keeps going and going and going.

@@ocularpressure4558 look at what the OG Top Gear did to the Toyota Hilux. They couldn't stop it from running.

What sensor are you talking about? Does your Jeep have a washer fluid level sensor?

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.

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

I personally would try to keep everything a straight as possible but matching it wont hurt. It's not 100% necessary to be perfectly aligned. If the are too far off it in theory could cause binding issues but I have only really seen that with heim joints. Ball joints are much more forgiving.

@@XtremeTruckAuto Sounds good, Thanks!

Are you Installing it on a Jeep similar to mine? Because the mounting can differ greatly depending on the application or even with what engine is in the vehicle. The easiest way to do it is to use the velcro they provide with the trigger and mount it on the fuse box that is typically located near the battery I have done this and it works great. I Just have mine wedged in-between the battery and the AC line that runs just behind the battery it has been this way for years and I have had zero issues with it. You could also see if they have a mounting kit for your vehicle I know what applications they have brackets has grown in the past few years. The last thing is you could do is build a bracket for it but once again that would differ greatly depending on the vehicle it was getting made for.

Velcro crossed my mind after seeing another video where it was mounted to the top of the fuse box which had not crossed my mind nor was it mentioned anywhere in the instructions. Also my six shooter didn’t come with any velcro, but easy enough to get. Thanks for the reply, apologies for being a poopy pants. I ended up screwing it to the top of my fuse box. Probably should’ve used velcro but I was too lazy to go looking for it.

The butt connector AMP send is a marine grade once you shrink it down. But, if you wanted to add heat shrink it's not going to hurt.

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

They will hold majority of the water out of your bed, like 99% if properly installed. Keep in mind that no cover is 100% water proof. Car washes and some heavy rains can get past the cover but its because of gaps in the bed, bedrail caps, tailgates etc..

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

I have a few questions only because I have never herd of this happening and I'm curious. So assuming the cover came out of the canister and rails. Was it in the open position unlocked? Did it bent the stops at the end of the rails? Was it while you were accelerating?

@@XtremeTruckAuto the cover was closed meaning the bed was covered. I almost always would lock it but I didn’t that day. It did come off during a hard acceleration. It came out of the canister and stripped everything in the rails knocking down the tailgate when it let go. I couldn’t get off the road immediately so when I got turned around it was just in time to see a big rig run over it. Not being a busy highway and seeing it punted off the road I went on to take care of something, figured I could pick up what was left on my way back. Well when I got back it was gone. I really wanted to see what was left of it because there was absolutely nothing in the bed to give any clue as to what failed. This just happened a week ago, which is what led me to your video. I really, really liked that cover. Just doing a little research before buying another.

@@aaronlindsay5641 That is crazy. I'm sorry that happened. If you were worried about that happening again, then the other two are a better choice. Because, the spring that pulls the cover open would keep that from happening again.

THANK YOU!!!!

Did you upgrade the joints or go with a different kit?

I do not know, sorry. Best place to start would be to find a wiring diagram for both at the BCM and compare.

If you are looking to replace just the big ones yes 5. Those are the ones I have had issue with and replaced. The smaller one that come with the kit are still going strong. When they go bad there will be a video. I might have found mine on sale I think I paid around $55 each for 4 of them about a year ago. I don't remember what I paid for the one in this video.
