So i picked up a step of used electric amp steps. Do any of you guys have a write up or link for the wiring and a good place to install the box (for wiring)? Any help is greatly appreciated.
LOL its not really de-railing anymore, somone already told me what i was looking for so.... :flipoff:
And thanks, im pretty happy with the find I have a grill, bumper, and emblems, now i just need to spend a little bit more and get the headlights and ill be set
Just make sure you have the diodes. The install is easy, all you are looking for is a ground for the switch in the latch. I am pretty sure AMP probably has the instructions on their website. If you do a search I have posted up the color wires I used on Recon250's thread...ours could be the same colors.
Yea, both being 01s I bet the wires are the same. I checked amps site and they are on there. Amp says they will also send the diodes needed for 01 and earlier for free. So I'm going to check that out. You care if I contact you when I'm doing the install if I run into problems or have any questions?
Ok, I just installed a used set on mine a while back. My best suggestion is call or email Bruce at Amp research. Tell him what yeah your truck is and which control box you have. They have gone through several changes on their control boxes and the wiring differs. He'll ask you what number is on your control box (the box that mounts under the hood). Once he knows which box and truck you have, he can email you the correct wiring diagram and also the diodes you will probably need.
I used the wiring diagram off of the website for mine. Everything worked good except after the truck sat for 10 minutes or so the boards would come down on their own. Once I talked to Bruce and got the correct diagram and one extra diode I needed, I was good to go!!
Get in touch with him before you do anything, it will save you headaches. You can also get the diodes at radio shack and make your own diode setup if you dont want to wait for them to get there. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions.
I check here, craigslist and keep my eyes open around town. Every once in a while i call dismantlers around me too. I just lucked out with this guy parting out his truck though. The grill i got is painted and missing for oval, i didnt want chrome, im painting it mat black, and then having both bumper powdercoated the same color.
The guy i got the steps from is selling a chrome grill 05-07. Has the billet grill in it, he is asking $100.
I know this thread is old but Im trying to install a used set of amp steps on my 01 F350 and Im having trouble locating my wires on the driver side, anyone know what wires to look for on my truck?
