LT bucket seats and 6.2L question


Recommended Posts

Posted

hello all, my questions are as follows:

 

with the bucket seat option on the LT, if choosing the bucket seat option, do you get the same style seating as the LTZ trucks (sectioned off from the passenger) or do you need to order the centre divider/console separately. Also, it seems like you cannot get leather with the bucket seat options, that's pretty stupid...I guess they don't want you building a LTZ like truck inside the cabin???

 

also, might be a long shot, but im sure some of you have good inside info...any rumors of GM offering the 6.2L for the LT Silverado and not only LTZ/SLT/denali/HC trucks

probably wont see the 6.2l outside of the upper trim levels, they didnt do it for the gmt 900's and probably wont this time. adding the buckets gives you the console automatically. You can get leather on the 40/60 bench it appears at least on z71 version of the LT, although that also requires you to add either the all star package or the convenience package

In probably 2016 the 6.2 would be available in the LT/SLE. Thats how it was in the last generation

Mine isn't an upper trim level and I have the 6.2 in a gmt900

forgot that they did put them in the lt/sle after a few years, my bad, lol

gmt 900 is the body style from 07-13, k2xx is the current body style it is the platform designation for the vehicle from gm

They started in 2010 in the LT models. The 09's had em in the LTZ.

    • 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.  
    • 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. 😉
    • 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.
