FWIW,

I just put a set of those Recon smoked with amber LED cab lights on my truck. I got a red silverado 2500 hd and I dont have a picture yet, but i will take one tonight and post it up. I will say this, i love them, my truck didnt come with them either so i wired them into the parking lamp circuit so they come on appropriately. The black casing with amber led really sets off the red truck.

I have a red 2500HD CC that I just installed the Pacer lights. I did the five individuals similar to the pre-99 style lights. I too don't have pics yet, but I'll try to post some tommarow if I think about it. Overall I really like it because it is unique. However, install was a PIA. But I have little patienence so that doesn't help. Worst part by far was trying to manuver you're hands under the headliner. I didn't completely remove mine, just took off the visors and overhead console and pulled the headliner down. If I had known how much of a PIA is was to do this I wouldn't have done it. Took me about five hours from the time I started measuring to finish. However, a good 1-2 hours was spent lining the lights up to make sure they were in the right place before I drilled 15 holes!

Yea i agree, every time i started drilling into my 06 cab it hurt me down deep, and i asked myself, wtf am i doing. But the outcome is worth it. Took me and a buddy an hour to mount them and 45 min or so to figure out where to wire them to. Granted i only have 3 lights but I still measured 30 times lol.

i would certainly do these again on just about any truck.

My outer cab lights on my 09 2500HD went to pot, they barely light and just flicker a little before they go completely dim. I'm guessing a short somewhere in the harness, these were ordered with the truck when it was built.

 

I've had it in for service and they wanted to pull the headliner but didn't have time, so next trip... :uhoh:

Here are mine. I used the Recon lights and love em. I measured the lights on a factory install then measured for mine numerous times before I drilled. It hurt putting holes in the roof but the outcome was worth it. I recommend using grommets or silicon around the screw holes and the hole for the wires. Good luck!! You'll love em!!

Dealer replaced both lights and were bad. The cost on the lights are $75.00 each and $50 something at dealer cost... Both were covered under warranty, but that is ridiculous....

 

I think when this thing goes out of warranty, it looks like a set of Recon light replacements.

      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.
