My truck has been in transit since Sept 30th and the dealer was advised of a delivery date of October 8th. Still no truck. Does anyone know what the in transit time has been running or how close to the delivery date given to the dealer has GM been accurate with?

Not sure and I also have a truck on order and in transit.. I doubt the government shutdown is helping...

I must admit the wait is killing me and I've gone from the kid at Christmas to almost pacing and while staring at the phone.. lol

 

It'll be worth it in the end, hold out man she's a comin'

 

On the bright side you'll get yours before me....

Truck was built in 2 weeks, got to Birmingham (4 hrs away) on the 7th. EDD is the 15th, but the dealer usually get them within 72 hrs from arrival to Bham. The anxiety is killing me, but even arriving tomorrow it will be 4 weeks. Coming from Mexico as well.

I just left the dealership. They had GM track the truck. Dealership was advised it is on a railcard between Chicago Heights (final drop off point) and Mexico. They could not tell where it is only it is on the the rail car. I asked if the Government Shutdown would effect the time frame with inspection and such. dealership was not for sure.

The government has nothing to do with the transit time. Union Pacific is a private company and so are the contractors that unload the cars.

Hello,

 

I understand that you are getting anxious about the arrival of your vehicle. I can guarantee any new information but I would like to look into this for you. Please private message me your name and order number.

The dealership speaks to GM today and we are told. All GM vehicle need to sit for three days after they are unloaded from the rail car. This is done so they can sort out vehicles sold and waiting to be delivered and just stock trucks going to dealers. My truck was set to be delivered October 8th as of Monday the 14th it was sitting on the rail car waiting to be unloaded. Forward to today. Thursday still sitting on rail car waiting to be unloaded and will sit another three business days until it will be shorted with the other vehicles and shipped. Now if i did not hear this on speaker phone I would not believe it but heard it myself. Just a little upset leaving for a 4 days trip tomorrow afternoon would have been a great trip for the truck. The dealership is great they are giving me a loaner car to use since I sold my other car local and sit car-less. So the truck sits 1 hour away on a rail car since Monday so if it is delivered next week mid week it had sat for 8 to 9 days in the rail yard.

      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.
