Episode Notes
In this 3rd episode of our 5th season we revisit the installation of AMP Research products, but this time we install them all on our Chevy 1500 Silverado project vehicle. Kicking it off with the brand new BedXTender HD, then the original BedStep, the PowerStep, and finishing it all off with the new BedStep2!
This episode features Olivia Korte as our Motorz Girl and also has our regular segments, Partz and Letterz. In “Partz”, Chris talks about a cordless C3 tool from Craftsman (which is used during the BedStep2 installation) and a chrome oil pan from Hedman Hedders’ Trans-Dapt.
As always, be sure to stick around to watch our out-takes at the very end!
Music
This episode features an original Motorz theme song by Jeremy Pritchard.

BedStep2™ mounts on either side, just behind the cab providing a faster, easier and safer route to access toolboxes, equipment and cargo in the bed. Easily installed, it’s solid, frame-mounted design can be mounted on either side of the truck box, and it flips down or retracts with the nudge of a foot. BedStep2™ is proudly made in the USA, and it’s backed by AMP’s industry-leading, no-nonsense, 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.
The AMP Research BedStep Black Truck Step gives easy access to pickup beds even with the tailgate down. It is made from high-strength aluminum alloy and is black anodized and powder coat finish for long-term durability. This step supports up to 300 pounds of weight.
HAUL IT ALL. With the AMP Research Bed X-Tender™ and Moto X-Tender® it’s like adding an extra 2-feet to your truck bed. From hay bales to Hondas, it’s there when you need it. And when you don’t, it flips forward to keep your smaller cargo safe and organized. Invented by AMP Research, the Bed X-Tender™ is incredibly light weight, yet strong enough to use as a bench on the job, at your favorite campsite, or at the track.
AMP Research PowerStep Running Board is a power-deployable running board that automatically extends downward when doors open and quickly retracts when doors are closed.
Accomplish tough jobs with ease with the 19.2 Volt C3 Cordless 3/8" Right Angle Drill/Driver. With variable speeds and reversible operation, along with a braking switch, this cordless drill provides easy, simple, efficient operation.

@enginerepairguy We wish we could, but it takes time to produce quality episodes. There was a longer delay than normal between this and the last episode due a death in Chris’ family (see the “in memory of” at the end of this episode). Thanks for your support!
