I had to share this deal.

 

I am upgrading my battery setup on my new truck to run dual Odyssey batteries. I allready had one from my old truck, and am putting in another to match in this truck , so i will have double the cranking power , etc.. Anyway When I just saw the price on odyssey website, i almost puked! http://shop.odysseybattery.com/p/pc1220-a?pp=12 $360!

So i went searching and Found it on amazon for $320 ish

 

For the heck of it I checked ebay and found it for $249.98!!!!! Brand new, FREE SHIP! According to the picture it looks like the previous design, as the new one has built in plastic handles and this one had rope handles, it appears, but the performance specs you cannot beat for the price and reputation! 680 CCA @ 0 Degrees! Most other batteries are testing at 32 degrees. I grabbed one right away! Heres the link

If anyone is loooking for a battery or might be coming up in a year , grab this deal now before it is gone! I cannot stress how good the odyssey battery is and treated me great in my old truck.

 

This is for the PC1220, which shows works for my 2012 silverado.

Thanks for the heads up Jerry, I'm not going to go the battery route right now, but I did get the backup bulbs we talked about. Watched them for a month or so and caught them for $22.99 shipped!! Got the day before I left on this trip, installed them right away and they do make a difference. :jester:

Sears Platinum is made by Odyssey. You can catch them at $189 or so every few months. We use them on all our equipment that have large electrical loads. They outlast anything else.

I checked sears earlier, Closest they showed in a AGM was $180, plus tax and core that brings it to over $200. For the price I paid, i am extremely happy.

I would use caution with buying batteries online. I also did this on ebay in the past too. The seller I purchased mine from stated they were not selling old stock but infact that is what I got. One of the two batteries I purchased went bad a year later.

 

Amazon is a very good site to buy from and if it were me looking at doing this I would spend the $70.00 more and get it from them.

 

How old is the one you aready have?

It is a risk, but thats why I love paypal, and the power of feedback. I'm allready assuming this battery is going to be the older model since the one on odyssey website is the newer plastic handles, and this one appears to be the rope handles. I believe it should be here tomorrow so I will find out. But if it turns out to be crap they sold, Then I will get paypal involved.

I'd rather gamble the $70

 

The battery from my old truck was in there for approx 2 years or so.. According to Odyssey specs, This should be at the start of its life so its not like im putting and old with a new. If it were 4-5 years old I would buy 2 but this should work great.

Basically positive to positive and negative to negative. I'm having a shop do it for me tho. They are wiring the dual batteries and setting it all up with 1/0, and doing the Big 3 at the same time. This way I will have plenty of power to run anything. They are a shop I have gone to for years and trust when doing important electrical stuff.

 

Once I have this done I will be all setup for wiring my LED rigid D2 lights, amp /sub, 12v compressors.on vacation in 2 weeks. Cant wait. Lots to catch up on.

I got the battery today. And I am happy to report it is indeed a new battery, and the new design. I thought fro sure the cheap price meant the older model with rope handles. Here is a pic of the top of battery with sticker showing date code.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      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.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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. 😉
