Truck Bed Anchor Points


Recommended Posts

Posted

I found these a few wks ago and ordered them because I really needed something like this to help secure cargo.

With my toolbox I cannot access the bed anchors in the front of the box very well. These will work well when needing to tie cargo down. I can go staright across the bed. They are made very well.

Those look nice, but if you have a tonneau cover, they would not work. I bought some Dee Zee tie-downs. They go in those plugs in the bed.

You missed the entire point. The stake pockets are nice but I can only utilize the rear two because of the toolbox. Hench the photos of what I bought I can put these in the middle of the bed and they work great.

Ryan the Dee Zees replace the rubber plugs a few inches down from the bed rails. They do not go into the stake pockets.

 

I think the rubber plugs are where the GM Cargo Management Rails attach. There are two on the front of the bed and three on the sides (I think - I lose track since the Line-X guys sprayed over the plugs on my bed and they sorta disappear.).

Edit: Correct bed liner spray. Thanks Darral.

Line-X maybe? :lol:

 

BTW, Ryan, those things look as handy as pockets on a shirt. :lol:

Oh the SHAME of early onset Alzheimer's. :)

 

And I forget stuff, too. There are 9 of the oval holes in the bed.

 

Yes, Line-X. I'll edit the post. Thanks.

You might look at the Bull Ring brand too. Realtruck carries them. The Bull Rings push back to be flush when not in use. Also the Dee zee rings are aluminum and can be broken pretty easily.

I also have been running some bully dog tie downs

    • 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.
