Well... Rich.

 

ANYBODY who believes that ANY carmaker makes perfect cars is simply not worth listening to anyway. I dismiss them and add them to my dumbass file.

It doesn't look like it's going to stop for them at this point. Every few months, it seems like another vehicle is being recalled.

Thats why I laugh when something like this happens to Toyota, because their followers brag them up so much.

Yeah, I actually like to see recalls. Because everything made in a factory is going to have flaws occasionally, and if they are fixing the problems and taking care of the vehicles/customers that is good. As for Toyota I don't see why all the hype right now. Sure they make some great vehicles, but everybody wants to act like they beat all the competition right now just because of their sales. I'm not so sure about all that...

I'm no defender of Toyota.

 

Everybody has recalls, but the media is certainly making sure that any by Toyota are front and center. Funny how they turn on you. Toyota used to be the media darlings. GM has recalled millions of vehicles in 2010 as well but luckily WE are not the current media target.

Naah. The truth is that when it comes to recalls, they all have em, but Crapota is in the spotlight because well, everyone expected better of em and they under-delivered. I welcome the negative publicity Crapota gets. Your better off driving a "Government Motors" vehicle then you are a Crapota it seems.

That sure as hell won't be me.

 

Toyota deserves their bad publicity right now. They tried to coast along on their reputation while their product line began to suffer. Think that won't come back to bite you? As GM or Ford about the 80s!

Not really.

 

Over 1,800 people were killed in fire crashes involving GM trucks from 1973 through 2000 because of the gas tanks before they did a recall. It was a matter of PENNIES to fix the (known) problem at the factory before shipping...Yet they kept putting them out that way.

 

Who's to say that they aren't doing that about something else right now? Hell...The engine covers on the 04-06 GTO will rub a hole in the fuel line and turn you into a mach III turbofire of DOOOOOM. If you complain, they take your engine cover off. No recall that I know of, and if you don't complain, they'll never tell you about it.

I'm curious where you get your info from?

 

 

I'm not aware of any fire problems on 1973-2000 models. Chevy trucks from 73-87 had tanks outside of the frame rail and were subject to a lawsuit..... certainly not pennies to fix.........

      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.
