So I made one video with the muffler removed...now I went a step further. I have removed the resonator and left the exhaust tunred down over the axle. So no muffler, no resornator just the cats. I have the vaulve clamped open and it's pretty loud. I'll have to get you guys a clip soon.

The number of hours spent on any given forum are directly proportional to the number of dollars spent on subject vehicle.   Ask me how I know.

So you removed the muffler, resonator, but kept the valve and then clamped it open?

I origninally left it to help with drone when I removed just the muffler. But after cutting off the resonator the valve caused a bit of rasp at low rpm. I clamped it open which helped, just haven't had time to cut it out and put a piece of pipe in. Which I probrably won't since the exhaust will change again soon.

have a question bout the oem muffler - noticed when looking for the eav valve on the back side of the muffler, there is a hole on the bottom, in the crease of the sidewall basically - is this a bad weld or some sort of drain? also, was looking for the ol flapper valve due to the loud squeak when coming out of v4 into v8 - figured this was the culprit - can it be lubricated or modified in anyway to stop it from doing so? thanks - just keeping everything stock for the moment - dealing with the rear end vibration issue with dealer/gm and don't want to give them any reasons to start waving fingers at me -

installed new borla this morning love the sound

Sweet. Any V4 drone or helicopter sound?

Looks like your factory exhaust was leaking at the front connection.

 

Edit: oh, shoot I just realized you got the ATAK!

Yeah I haven't even really heard of them, but Flowmaster is a top of the line brand, ill go with them for a exhaust and try the Injen cold air intake, the other cold air intake on the site is 100 bucks more but i did my research, and the people who dyno tested it, actually lost performance, which is why research pays off, wow.

Hey Mike, just curious, which exhaust did you end up going with?

I ended up ordering a Maganflow exhaust from hottexhaust.com part # 15268

I have been reading a lot about Gibson and their products aren't the best around. A lot of folks are having issues with some of their exhausts. I'm definitely not an expert. I would expect around spring you will start seeing new models.

 

I got the Gibson single swept side exhaust. It sounds good with a nice deep burble. Unfortunately the V4 drone is horrible. The pipes and muffler were heavy gauge stainless. Easily better than a Flowmaster setup. The clamps Gibson includes with the kit are garbage. I managed to snap one of the U-bolts with nothing more than a 1/2" ratchet. I ended up ordering a couple Walker lap joint band clamps and Permetex exhaust sealant. Exhaust note sounds much better with a proper seal.

      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.
