AMP Research PowerStep Smart Series Running Boards for 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 2015-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD / Silverado 3500 HD and 2014-2018 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2015-2019 GMC Sierra 2500 HD / Sierra 3500 HD (Gas Engine)

Phone control is what the Smart Series adds to AMP Research's PowerStep, letting you command the boards out or in from an app. Leave them deployed for loading or washing, or hold them retracted for ground clearance on rough ground. LED lamps light the step, and a textured black powder coat covers corrosion-resistant aluminum. Part number 86154-01A is the Gas Engine version for the 2015-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD / Silverado 3500 HD.

Features

Deploy or retract from your phone
The AMP Research app for iOS and Android sends the boards out or brings them in on command, whether or not a door is open.

Handy for loading and washing
Hold the steps out while you load cargo or wash the truck, instead of propping a door open to keep them deployed.

Held in on the trail
Keep the boards locked in the retracted position when ground clearance matters more than a step.

Automatic every other day
Without the app the Smart Series behaves like any PowerStep: out when a door opens, tucked under the body when the doors close.

No separate switch to fit
The app does the job of a physical override switch, so there is no extra hardware to mount or wire.

Aluminum boards rated for 300 lb
The boards are powder-coated aluminum in textured black, rated for up to 300 lb per door, and pivot on stainless steel pins and hardware.

A lit, 6" wide step
The slip-resistant step is 6" wide and lit by integrated LED lamps when it deploys.

A Smart Series kit is built for one vehicle and pairs the motorized linkages and controller with a wire harness and a Smart Series OBD-II plug-in module that supplies the door signal. Every Smart Series guide includes drilling, and shorter cabs trim the boards to the lengths the guide lists. The wiring is joined with crimp or Posi-style connectors, so plan on electrical work or have a shop handle it. Torque every fastener to its listed value and test each door before you call it done. On this application the boards are cut to length for some cabs: Extended Cab 72" (trim 7").

Warranty, Shipping & Returns

Warranty. The PowerStep Smart Series is covered by AMP Research's limited warranty for defective materials or workmanship, as long as it was installed following the supplied instructions. AMP Research repairs or replaces a faulty part at its discretion, while removal and reinstallation labor stays with the owner. The original purchaser alone is covered; the cover stops once the boards are fitted to a different vehicle or the vehicle changes owner, and it does not reach abuse, collisions, incorrect installation, alterations, inadequate upkeep or hazards on and off the road.

Inspect on delivery. Examine the boards, linkages, controller and plug-in module on delivery and write any damage on the paperwork before you sign. Compare the box against the guide's parts list before the install, so a missing part surfaces while it can still be replaced.

Returns. Unused items in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery. If an item arrives damaged, defective or wrong, return shipping is on us. See our Returns & Refunds Policy, or email support@prestigetruck.com with any question.
