I went to the Harrisburg, PA auto show today and saw the Silverado ZR2 concept truck. Looks good, huh?

I had to chance to see it at the All-GM Nationals in Carlisle last year,If they would build it I would buy one of them instead of the new Camaro I have ordered,But.....It will never see production,and if it does it won't look like that with the carbor fiber items,or have the supercharged 6.2 in it.

I have seen pics of this truck for a long time, it's been around since the 2009 SEMA show. Doubt it will be released but if it is, I will have one of those! Do you have any pictures of the interior?

Sorry, no interior pics. The doors were closed, and it was roped off.

Looks good. Too bad you can't buy trucks like that off the lot.

 

 

yeah you can. It's called a Raptor. :P I hate to admit it but Ford has the balls to try the custom stuff. wish Chevy would do the same.

You mean those things hangin' from the trailer hitch? I saw one the other day. It didn't look that good. I don't guess Ford has chrome paint*. Only thing it didn't have was a coon tail on the radio antenna.

No, I meant as a Corporation Ford will listen to the enthusiests and give them what they want. GM Won't. LOL at the Truck Nutz though.

I wuz just bein' a smart azz.

 

I was not making fun of you, though. That late 80's Ford I saw had so much chrome stick-on crap I bet he's over GVWR unloaded.

 

Yeah, we do need more of the stuff on the concept vehicles. It's taking too long for the trickle down to work.

I like the custom touch on the front end, the bumper looks blockier and kinda modular.

 

I don't understand the fenders' flares-on-flares thing though.

    • 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.
