I'm thinking about putting a 12" sub I have from my old truck under the single fold up rear seat. I'm trying to keep as much floor space as possible which is why I was going to go with the single section of the back seat. I can fit the box no problem but I'm having a hard time finding a good spot for the amp without loosing a lot of space. Has anyone else done this?

I just ordered a new crew cab and am wanting to do the same thing. I was looking at the JL Audio Stealthbox for that vehicle, but I can't tell if the spot in the middle of the box is for an amp or not. Floor space is too valuable to lose all of it (under the seat, that is).

 

If you find a solution please keep this thread updated - and I will do the same.

I'm not sure how nuts you want to go but I've seen pics where the rear seat was torn out and an amp mounted to the rear wall, then the seats re installed. Not exactly idea for service but it would save floor space.

 

I'm just living with the Bose sub for now, its to much hassle to do anything else in these new trucks.

I have the JL Stealthbox and can tell you an amp will not fit in the box cut out. JL told me that area of the box is purely acoustical.

I have an Ext. Cab and have two amps installed behind my seats, mounted to the back wall. The short side of the seats can be raised all the way up, but the long part can't go all the way. It stops about 3 inches out.

I have mine on a carpeted board mounted behind the rear seat. I raised the seats 1/2 inch and trimed the catch tabs so when you raise the seat bottoms abount 1/2 way up it releases the seat back and folds down giving much easier access to amp controls

Is that safe to do? I have an '08 Sierra Crew and I need to mount the amps behind the seat as well. Does anyone have specs on the size of the board?

      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.
