I used my bed step in a big way when I did my monthly trip to Costco yesterday. I had a full load of water and groceries and the step made it easy. Load onto the tail gate first and climb up to transfer to the front of the bed. This was done multiple times both at the store and when I got home...

This confirms my suspicion the spacer was not installed correctly when some owners complain of a rattle sound. Looking at the part diagram I figured this was the reason the spacer was split on one side. My truck goes in next Saturday for this recall. I appreciate the explanation and I will make...

A lot of us have received our kits from Mishimoto so I don't understand the claim they haven't shipped. Sure the order size has been big so it might be the reason all the orders can't be filled until production catches up. I think the early orders have been completed and the last orders will...

I just checked my e-mail and found a notice from Mishimoto that my order for the catch can kit is shipping along with the UPS tracking number. I ordered the kit several days after the pre sale was announced. I also got the order delay notice before this latest notice. Looks like things are...

Jared, I like the new site format. I especially like the dark/light function. Like many members I find the dark gives better contrast so I will usually use the dark. It also has another useful function for me. I find I like to copy certain posts that solve a problem I am repairing or modifying...

I had the same issue. Just loosen the bolt that attached the drum to the mount and you can rotate the drum slightly to gain clearance when the steps are retracted. This device is used to counter frame harmonics generated by the engine so anything contacting it probably negates what it was...

Billet1500 4X4, Nice explanation of the installation on your RAM. I did clock my motor as shown in step number 5. I trimmed the one ear of the gear cover to get a correct fit. This seemed to provide a good even contact of the gear case cover. Looking at your photo of the driver side front...

That matches my retracted step position. Like you my gap is even. I think you are fine. I have looked at photos of other power step equipped Ram 1500 trucks and they all seem the same as you describe.

Good information on the switch programming. So if I have this right both the up and down positions work on the 30 minute time and then the next door action after they return to normal operation with the doors. I can work with that. Your photo of the switch mount is nicely done, but I want to...

Just ordered my kit. I had a BT kit on my 2012 Ram but it had less capacity and no filter like this design. For these reasons alone I like this design. Thanks for designing a superior kit that will provide long term protection well worth the initial purchase price. BTW I enjoyed seeing the...

The problem for that spot is it doesn't exist on our new generation Rams. The picture shows the switch where the new trucks have the emergency park over-ride cover. I don't want to mess with that safety design. There are other locations that would work depending on your tolerance to drilling...

One thing to be aware of is the method to keep the steps down by resisting the retraction. Using this method allows the motor to raise the step slightly from the full locked down position. In doing this the steps are supported by the motor and gear drive putting stress on those components...

I like your bracket design.. It looks professional and can provide extra functionality for additional switched circuits. Keep us informed on your findings of a mount location. Perhaps to the right of the steering column. Less chance of you hitting the bracket getting in and out of the truck...

I installed my bed step yesterday. Everything lined up correctly and the step practically disappears when retracted. The three mount positions lined up with the frame perfectly and there is good clearance from the exhaust/ resonator and other components of the stock exhaust. Once the lower wire...

On my installation I ran the LED light wire under the pinch weld and up the inside of the rocker. This was easy because the LED wires are stiff enough to retain the shape I bent them. I supported the LED harness feed wires with adhesive 1/4 clips that lock onto the harness loom. This worked...

There is precious little free space on the panels. I'm thinking making a switch bracket that attaches to the left screw for the steering column lower panel. This is reversible if I don't like it. Much depends on the actual size of the switch.

I was looking for a location as well. The bracket idea I first had probably won't work. Mounting the switch with a bracket will only work if I can find a location that won't reduce the safety or room afforded to the driver. I haven't found that space yet. I have a week to figure that out until...

I got my step today and like the other reports the box was damaged with several small holes. Fortunately this step is so well built I don't think any shipping could damage it. The good news all the hardware was in the box along with the instruction so I got the complete kit. I'm looking forward...

I am guessing like you but my best guess is it will reset to down position or it might require recycling to the middle position to return to normal. I think the 30 minute deal is for safety. If you have it set to stay retracted the steps will likely remain that way until the switch is set to the...

Of course, this is the way it usually works.:)
