AMP power steps on an Excursion

Who has done them? What did you do about the step motor hitting the AC lines on the passenger side?

I've seen it done. I don't know how or if issues were addressed.

I got them on.....but I don't like the way the motor is pressed against the lines. It has pressure on the lines, I'm worried about it over time rubbing a hole.

Couldn't you relocate the lines either higher or lower, if that is what is needed? Or put a sleeve over the lines at the contact point. Coolant hose or PEX water pipe could be slit along the length and worked over.

is the motor at the front or rear of the passengers board. The Ex boards have the motor at the front and the pickup has it at the rear if i remember mine correctly.

You are correct, the instructions tell you to have it at the rear(on both the trucks and excursions), but I did not like the way it looked, not to mention it was even tighter against the lines with the motor at the back. So it's to the front, and still against the lines.
