Looking for solutions for my tablet... I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and a Samsung Note Pro 12.2. I am looking for advise or experience with mounting to the console or dash. I have looked at the goose neck mount (my first desired option) but the seats int he Denali don't have your traditional floor bolts. I looked at PRoclip that makes a console mounting clip but I'm not sure it could support the weight of a tablet plus an additional pillar/mount to get ti to face the driver. I've looked at various dash/vent mounts but once again size and loss of access to systems is a concern.

 

Any ideas or pictures would be greatly appreciated... I know that if I downsized my table there are other option but I am not thinking about buying another tablet until I have exhausted all my other resources.

How about getting a second cup holder as someone here did, then either bolting one of the Pro Clip solid pedestals to it or finding a cup holder type stand?

 

Google "cup holder tablet mount" and see what pops up. Lots of ideas.

I finally took the plunge and went i-diving :dunno: .

 

My wife wanted me to pick my gift. I said I wanted a 10" pad that I could use my phone's sim card in. It had to have 4G LTE Verizon, GPS etc. It'd be used for road trips, etc., where we need to find a room, restaurant, or topo maps while navigating off-road. We have phones that have served some of that function, but they are just too small. I have OEM nav in the truck, but it won't do topo at this time and extra programming (nothing for what I want) seems like it's as pricey as any pad. I started shopping for a Samsung, since that's the phones I have and my wife have. The wife got an ipad mini from me a year or so ago. So, I know the product line a bit. I found one I-pad Air (1st gen) on ebay, "new-open box" $389 4G Verizon, etc.

 

So, onto the mount. Sparing no cost, I found this. http://www.thejoyfactory.com/product/MWA208M

aXtion Bold cradles your iPad in full military-grade protection (MIL-STD-810) so it can withstand drops from up to 6 feet (2m).

This model comes with a MIL-STD-810, 6 ft drop rated, water resistant case. You can get a waterproof case, but you have buy the parts separately (more $).

The cupholder mount has an expanding plug that is tightened by the barrel just above the plug.

 

Now I want another cupholder. Where was that thread?

That brand of mount is pricey but extremely nice. I've got the headrest mounts for iPad minis in the back of my truck for my boys. I was a little bit bummed that I wasn't able to find the truck I wanted with OEM rear seat entertainment but decided to figure out a better solution. iPad minis with these headrest mounts are freaking awesome. Each kid had their own video to watch and games if they want and I didn't have to drop a couple of grand on headrest monitors.

 

Basically, you will like the quality of the mount. At least I'm a fan.

thanks for the vote of confidence on their products.

 

I agree with you on having i-pads as opposed to built-in entertainment system. More cost effective, flexible and independent.

 

Joy Factory Inc is just down about 40 miles from me in Irvine CA. The mount should be here tomorrow.

      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.
