Hi All:

 

I have a question related to some past service on my truck (GMC Dealer)...One year ago, I had an ABS code set related to a bad hub assembly. When I got a call from the dealer, they said that the passenger hub assembly was bad and was replaced under warranty (the invoice where they list the part number stated the right assembly, but the tech notes indicated the left assembly was replaced).

 

Today the truck is in the dealer's shop and the passenger hub has crapped in the bed. Now that I am beyond my factory warranty and this is not the one replaced a year ago; this replacement cost is on my dime. My claim is that it was the right assembly that was replaced the last time, not the left.

 

The Question:

Is there anyway that it can be verified which hub was replaced one year ago? Would the ABS code identify Left vs. Right? If I could prove that the replacement hub went bad again, it is on GM's wallet.

The ABS code should indicate which side is bad,HOWEVER...Even if it is the same side that was replaced before under warranty,UNLESS your truck is still under the factory 3/36 warranty,it would not be covered under warranty again,Parts that are replaced under the factory 3/36 warranty are only covered for the remainder of the warranty.

 

In other words if they replaced it under factory warranty when the truck was 30 months old,and had 30,000 miles on it,it would only covered for the remaning 6 months/6,000 miles of the factory warranty,after that your on your own.

In a way this sucks. If the repair was done under warranty at 35,999 miles, the part would be warranted for a whopping 1 mile!!!!! If you paid for the repair (out of warranty) the part would be covered for 1 year or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first, I think.

 

They should really give you at least 30 days or 1,000 miles on a new part, no matter what.

      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.
