The little knob to the left of the steering wheel that adjusts the interior light. You have to turn the interior lights all the way up and then the cargo light comes on. It's a crappy design. You should be able to turn it own without turning the interior lights on, but you cant.

 

 

Just realized you said nbs or GMT800. My answer is for nnbs GMT900. I dont know if it's the same.

Sir dan, dont bother replying to forum topics if you have nothing usefull to add, you must really have nothing better to do. Do you not think if I could find my owners manual that I would have checked?!

 

Ya its the gmt 900 nbs. I tried turning it all the way to the one side as that is what I thought it was but it wouldnt come on. Bulb was burnt out, just changed it over to led. Glad it works atleast!

Thanks for posting a solution (link to owners manual) RyanbabZ71 and not just a useless comment like some others.

I'm not a fan of the current setup either. Granted the light is now absolutely useless because of my tonneau cover- even folded up it blocks light from shining into the bed but the functionality is worthless. It doesn't turn on if you're moving so you can't check the security of the tie downs that I know you all use as responsible folks and even if you could, with the dome lights on the reflection on the glass makes it all but impossible to see the bed.

I'm going to try something tomorrow. What happens if you hit the dome light cancel button (by the dome light / interior light / cargo light knob) and then turn the knob to make the cargo light come on? Will the interior lights stay off and the cargo light come on?

      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.
