I wouldn't worry to much about Chinese cars, now the pollution from them, that's a different story, they'll be pumping out more hydrocarbons than a 1980 Toyota Camary that hasn't even had the oil changed in 2 years but has had some new plastic chrome hub caps installed. If they start importing those cars then I'll be scared, you think these new greaseless ball joints are bad....

Jul 30 2008With just over 1.3 billion people (1,330,044,605 as of mid-2008), China is the world's largest and most populous country. As the world's population is approximately 6.7 billion, China represents a full 20% of the world's population so one in every five people on the planet is a resident of China.

 

 

 

 

You'd think they'd have sold a few more considering the population and the fact that so many of them now have jobs. :uhoh:

Actually, right now cars have a very low penetration in China. if they sell the same # of cars per person as we did a few years ago, they will be selling about 64 million/year!!! 16/300=64/1200. really, our automakers should be trying to get a bigger piece of that pie.

If you are in the auto service industry you will have to work on them or find a new line of work. Just like the people who refused to work on Japans imports years ago did not adapt got left behind. The days of GM & Ford having 75% of the market share are long gone. If you are in any service industry, you go with the market or get left out.

 

 

not to say i won't work on Japanese Imports, I'll Just grit my Teeth on a Toyota, but at least I don't have to go very far to complain for a Nissan! and I'm neutral on Honda.

China doesn't count. Their economy is going to crash big time eventually and they are not going to have the brains to fix it.

 

 

as long as dumb ass companys like wal mart continue to buy from them they will grow, communist economys do not crumble easy because they can easily turn a dollar and the whole system is based off of cheap labor with the biggest profit going into the goverment

Its ironic that the percentage of American physically manufactured parts on a toyota is greater than a gm vehicle these days. Its hard to sustain any type of economy when all you do is import import and yet we still have all these morons saying buy American made cars, when more than half the car is made in Mexico.

      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.
