A New Englander dies and is sent to ####. He

had been a horrible man throughout life and even

the devil wanted to punish him, so he puts him to

work breaking up rocks with a sledgehammer. To make

it worse he cranks up the temperature and the humidity.

 

Love my kingdom!" laughs the devil.

 

After a couple of days the devil checks in on

his victim to see if he is suffering adequately.

The devil is aghast as he looks at the New Englander

happily swinging his hammer and whistling a

happy tune. The devil walks up to him and says, "I

don't understand this. I've turned the heat way up,

it's humid, you're crushing rocks; why are you so happy?"

 

The New Englander, smiling big, looks at the

devil and replies, "This is great! It reminds me of

August in New England. Hot, humid, a good place to

work. It reminds me of home. This is fantastic!"

 

The devil, extremely perplexed, walks away to

ponder the New Englander's remarks. Then he decides

to drop the temperature, send down driving rain

and torrential wind. Soon, #### is a wet, muddy

mess. Walking in mud up to his knees with dust

blowing into his eyes, the New Englander is happily

slogging through the mud pushing a wheelbarrow full of

crushed rocks.

 

Again, the devil asks how he can be happy in such conditions.

The New Englander replies, "This is great! Just like April in

New England. It reminds me of working out in the

fields with spring planting!"

 

The devil is now completely baffled.

 

Angry, and desperate to make #### really ####,

he tries one last ditch effort. He makes the

temperature plummet. Suddenly #### is blanketed in

snow and ice. Confident that this will surely

make the New Englander unhappy.

 

The devil checks in on the New Englander. He

is aghast at what he sees.

 

The New Englander is dancing, singing, and

twirling his sledgehammer as he cavorts in glee.

 

"How can you be so happy? Don't you know it's

40 below zero!?" screams the devil.

 

 

Jumping up and down the New Englander throws a

snowball at the devil and yells, "#### is frozen over!!

 

"This means the Patriots won the Super Bowl!!!"

    • 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.  
    • 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. 😉
    • 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.
