Hello all. New to the forum. I have a late model 2015 1500 and I installed the 76139-01A a few weeks ago. Couldn't pass them up for the price I found them for. No crash bracket, but the holes were there for it. At first I was worried I needed the 76138 but if your truck was manufactured after June or July of 2015 and has the threaded holes for the crash bracket it will work. Initially I had issues with the pinch weld and ended up grinding it up until the steps would deploy. All seemed to be well until I noticed how aggressively the drivers side was retracting from an audible standpoint and feeling it as well. The passenger side is perfect and quiet other than the motor itself. The driver side step is making contact with the bottom of the gear housing on the idler. Somehow the foam wedges or stops are not stout enough to keep it from closing too far. I swapped motors from one side to another to see if maybe that was the issue but it didn't help. Just wanted to see if anyone else is having that issue and maybe knows a fix. Thx for any and all help

I had been in contact with AMP before the purchase. Just sent my problem to them to see if I can get some help. Maybe I'll call them directly and see. Doesn't help I'm kinda OCD and this bugs the crap out of me. I can't be the only one with this problem hopefully...
