OK guys I stopped in a parking lot today and stared at a 2011 HD silverado with an entire front chrome bumper. My Z71 has the painted corners. I don't see why it can't fit but I didn't measure of course. Ideas? I know there are many aftermarkets but I miss my front chrome bumper.

Ideas welcome.

The HD front bumper looks larger. I don't know if the entire bumper set up will work but I have seen HD chrome end caps on 1500's before.

Did the one you looked at have the solid bumper or one with the end caps?

HD end caps won't fit on a 1500,they're too tall.

And a 2011 HD bumper won't fit on an 1500 either,different setup as far as height and brackets go,now you could probably modify or make custom brackets to make it fit if you want,but it won't be a simple bolt-on project.

Also,GM just announced a new "custom chrome front bumper package" for the 1500's that includes chrome end caps,so they now have chrome end caps made just for the 1500's.

And for a split second I thought that this would be a bumper that would stay rust free for at least a year. :cheers:

A 2011 HD bumper can be swapped to an earlier GMT-900 HD. You need the bumper, brackets and grill as it is a different shape. I have no idea how well if at all this would work for a 1500.

the HD bumper was one solid piece.

 

I do not know if I would use the word "solid" in reference to these bumpers. "Continuous" might be more appropriate. :cheers:

there are a couple of 2011 HD swaps already done, im not too sure if you will need different brackets though.

you will though need to get a 2011 HD grille since your current one will not fit the mold of the HD bumper, and it will hang a bit lower than your current bumper since its a bit taller.

plus your hood will not line up unless you get the trim piece that goes on the hood(last pic). or get an 11 HD hood.

 

-2011 HD hood- 20952912

 

-2011 HD bumper w/fog light holes (they call it "bar")- 25883349

 

-2011 HD grille- 20966058

 

-Fog Lamps- (Left side) 25883245 and (Right side) 25883246

 

-2011 Hood trim molding (Grille piece)- 20963700

 

-2011 Plastic molding (cowling piece that says Allison or duramax or whatever)- (Left side) 20927551 (Right side) 20927552

 

Im not sure if the hood trim piece is included on the hood, it may be separate.

      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.
