I really like the steering wheel that's on the 2010 Range Rover, and I'm wondering if it will fit a chevy tahoe. Any ideas?

Fit...sure....work with your airbag system etc...not a chance.

It's not like the air bag is a high usage item....

Huge safety item though...

I know if its not working in most parts of Canada you will fail your annual inspection....if the province has one.

Can you give me a rough idea of why not and what's involved?

 

I'm assuming the sensors on the Tahoe speak a "different language" than what the RR steering wheel understands? If that's the problem, can I just gut the electronics out of the RR wheel and replace them with the electronics from the Tahoe? Does accessing the electronics involve opening or damaging the air bag? And finally, (I myself am not used to asking this many questions, please bear with me) are airbags reusable, or once deployed, you have to change the steering wheel altogether?

Air bags are not reusable.

Yeah they "speak a different language"...you cannot just take a bag out of another vehicle and drop in, and expect it to work...also, all the electronics involved with the bag are in the BCM, and in the airbag enclosure. You would have to swap all the bags over to RR bags, than run a stand alone BCM from a rover to control those bags...problem here is that the airbags would be missing and throw a code on the BCM, and light the airbag light on the cluster. Which in most places will fail you on a safety inspection.

 

If....however....you don't have to have the bag system working for an annual inspection...have at 'er....I would love to be rid of the whole damn system...usually the most expensive part of an accident is the replacement of the airbag system.

      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.
