I have a 2005 6.0L 2500HD, Magnacharger (3.0 pulley), Aem Methanol Injection, air raid intake, headers, 3'' magnaflow exhaust. Im looking to do more upgrades to it but i'm not sure what to do next, any ideas?? I still need to get it tuned for the pulley and methanol but i'd like to do more to it before I pay the money to get it tuned, thanks for any help

what brands do you suggest? I live in Cedar City Utah, not many people around here know about the superchargers, there is mostly just diesel performance shops.. I talked to magnacharger and they suggested a Lingenfelter Cam (GT2-3)

I agree to go with what Robert said: cam, headers and gears. You may want to look into beefing up that transmission as well depending on how far you want to push it. A torque converter will also help you to get that HP on the ground.

Lingenfelter is a good company, as is CompCams. I would suggest calling either company with what you are hoping to get out of the cam, and they should be able to suggest a good custom grind for you.

I'm just looking to get more power mostly.. I'm trying to talk to a guy that lives in Sandy UT (Absolute Performance Inc) hopefully he can help me out, I hear to many different things from people so if i can find a shop that knows what they are doing and can do all the work it would make it much easier

I hear ya on the power, however, do you want it on the high end or the low end. You will also need to make sure that the LSA will work well with your blower.

I'd probably want it more on the mid to high end, low end is already pretty good just cause of the instant boost the supercharger has. I'm not sure I want to tear the motor apart if i dont have to.. i'd rather have it blow up and tear it apart and do everything at once rather then having it taken apart a lot. would the gears make much of a difference?? what size and kind of gears would be best for my truck?? its a daily driver around town and race buddies sometimes and I dont tow very much.

What size tires do you have and what gears do you have now? You may not need them, but they can definitely pick your truck up if you are under geared now.

 

A cam can certainly wake your truck up also. Don't forget you have a big heavy brick that you're trying to move. Low to mid range is very important unless you put the proper stall converter and gears in.

i have 35" tires, as for the gears im pretty sure they are just stock. The cam im not sure exactly what i'd want. i'm just trying to figure all of it out. Low to mid would probably be better, i just say mid to high becasue the only people i really race are diesels and once there turbo spools at mid they usually win but i'm just talking trying to figure out what would be best for something i drive and rely on daily

If they are stock, then they are either 3.73's or 4.10s. With 35 inch tires 4.10s would be the bare minimun I would run. I personally would probably run 4.56's. But you will get a lot of opinions on this.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
