Talk about a scare...

I decided to drive over to my wife's place of work to enjoy lunch together, yup I'm a big softy. Anyway as I pull into a parking spot and start applying my brakes, the trust doesn't slow very quickly. As in I almost hit the car in front of me, so I jam the brakes and I stopped. I look at the dash real quick, nothing out of the ordinary...except the tach shows ~1200-1500 rpm. I gently release brake and sure enough I begin to roll again with a purpose. Engine is definitely not going back down to idle. Well I shift to Park and the tach jumps up to ~2000 rpm and now I can actually hear the engine speeding up. I had the radio on so I didn't hear the engine at the lower speed. Just as quick as it jumps up it went right back down to idle and all was well. No lights, no dings, no messages, no other gauges reading anything out of the ordinary.

So once lunch was done I, carefully, drive back to my work and of course....nothing....all is as it should be, thankfully. Now I've cleaned my throttle plate before and didn't have a problem and I only peaked at it this weekend while I was servicing my air filter (K&N), but I drove it around all day Sunday and yesterday with no problems....odd! So I guess I'll keep tabs on it and see what comes of this. I guess after 6 years and 95k miles I can start expecting some "new" quirks to my "old" truck.

Well if you're still reading, thank you for your time. I appreciate any comments or suggestions.

LOL! I wish. Nope no Toyota today. It was a Jeep I tried to hit and a couple of other trucks. Parking lot was mostly empty since most everyone left for lunch. Hasn't acted up since so hopefully a fluke.

I know if you start the car with the electronic throttle disconnected (a small metal box on driver's side firewall under the hood) it will idle way fast. Might be worth making sure that wire is running with no rubbing or shorting and that the connectors are all tight.

I'll take a look see into that. Thanks for the idea.

Has it been raining a lot lately? My old Montana van used to do this if it had been raining a lot. Something to do with a sensor that was not working right. Not 100% sure what sensor it was, we traded it in.

feed it a honda, its just hungry

 

It has been a while since I've been able to load the truck up and truly work it. I gave it a teaser this weekend with my travel trailer around the neighborhood so the truck might just be egging me on to load her up...still have those blocks you were lugging around awhile back...lol

I did take a peek at that. There isn't anything obviously wrong (loose, busted, unplugged, etc), but I didn't want to start disconnecting connectors. With my fat fingers I'd probably end up breaking more just trying to find anything broke. It still hasn't acted up since so I'm "hopeful" it was a freak of nature, need to eat a Honda (thanks Grape), one time thing.

you commented that you messed with both the air filter and peaked at the throttle body - I would bet on the intake tract not being reassembled correctly or a vacuum line is knocked loose - it sounds like the motor is getting unmetered air (air is getting sucked in from somewhere after the MAF sensor.

Is it possible that when you were pressing on the brake pedal your shoe was also hitting the gas pedal?

      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.
