I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

He took a red magic marker and traced the thread with it. I believe it was a cloth marker. Do a small line and then wipe off the excess as you go. It really only works on leather though as it can be wiped off easier and not soak in where you don't want it to.

graves- I'm liking your wheels.

 

This happened on mine today. Nothing out of this world. They're the $200 eBay 5" nerf bar special lol they're sturdy and will definitely get the job done.

Before you attempt something like that, you better check your state laws in the vehicle code on tinting limitations.

Tinting the windshield in most, if not all states is illegal and may cause you to NOT be able to pass state inspection. I believe the tinting allowed on the front windshield is usually not to go below 4" from the top of the windshield. There is usually a little tinting from the factory at the top of the windshield. Where that ends, that is usually the limit.

 

When I was in high school, I had my front windshield tinted in my offroad vehicle and it sucked. Visibility was terrible, even with the sun blazing in the middle of the day. IMO, it would be extremely dangerous driving at night with the windshield tinted. It's not worth affecting your visibility and possibly hurting or killing someone out on the road because you can't see properly out of the front windshield. If you want to know what it's like at night time having the windshield tinted, try driving with sunglasses on. That will give you a pretty good idea of how difficult it would be to see after tinting.

Not legal here, but mine is done and also has the strips. I got the Lumar Air Blue and love it. You can't even tell its there. It just blocks the UV and reduces heat. If they bust you for it they have scratch at it ti fine it and are alrady in trouble. Can see perfect at night and don't even see it with polarized glasses on.

Take a look at this thread for more information, Supercharged SS is the vendor that was able to get these mirrors. If you have power folding mirrors now then these are plug and play. The power folding, turn signal, power mirror, programmable mirror, etc. will all work. They have amber clearance lights and white LED's which are new to GM and these lights have to be wired to work at this time. There are folks looking into programming the truck to have them work as well. At this time GM has not offered a reflash to make these lights work on 14's. The mirrors are an option on 2015's. I did the install myself and can provide more info or pics if you decide to do it.

Bath time today. Friday was retractable boards, paint the headlight trim, and repaint the chipped bumper.

Wow! So no problems with auto-dim or tilt on reserve functions? ... I think I might be sold should your answer be a positive one.

 

Are you taking orders? I think I found your eBay page and it says the passenger side is on BO?

 

Thanks again bro

      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.

      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. 😉

      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.
