Paid $75 CND from local dealer. Installed in 20minutes...had truck on hoist - also would be easier if you have a jack, jack up the rear end as much as possible(without lifting tires off ground), 3 push pins go into fender lip and I believe 3 self tapping screws that you gotta drill in. Looks much better, and protects your box and underbody.

No box, mine came from my dealer and they were loose. Considering where they go and what they are for, scratches are not really that big of a deal. I would think they would have to be treated pretty badly to get damaged.

Undercoating FTW

 

+1 for that.

 

2 cans of rustoleum undercoating got me 2 coats per wheel well on the rears. looks amazing and lasts a long time. I know a lot of people on here have done it and loved the results.

Mine didnt come in a box either. They are a weird shape and arent heavy at all. and considering the item, it wouldnt make sense to have a box. On my old truck, I sprayed undercoating then installed these ... protection x2 lol

Plus I think it is much easier to take care of. Liners always seem to get scratched and bleached out/faded (what every you want to call the gray appearance they get). For maintenance on the undercoating just spray some tire protectant on it and it looks good as new.

 

It has been over a year since I coated mine. No recoating so far and like I said, I can make it look brand new in about 5 minutes.

So what do you think happens with the Escalades, Tahoes, Suburbans, Denalis, and all cars? Does "dirt/debris/salt, etc still get trapped behind the liners, and cause some issues?" I've never seen/heard of a Escalade having issues in the rear wheel wells, my dad has had his for 7 years now, wheel well liners are fine. IF your that worried, spray some undercoating yourself, install the liners and you'll be fine.

Undercoating FTW. Duplicolor makes some that is rubberized and goes on like a pro did it.

well at $100 for molded plastic I expect a box

 

So that you can throw the box away?

 

The liners come tie-wrapped together with the hardware in a bag. Works fine for what they are.

Exactly. Where are the stories of all those SUVs rotting away?

Exactly what I was gonna say. Why do you DEMAND a box ... when your just gonna throw it away?

      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.
