650 miles on the truck and no heat. :shakehead: Took the family out to the movies tonight and on the way home with five adults in the truck we had no heat or defrost. I have the dual climate control and no matter what mode or temperature setting I set it on nothing changed. I have cool air blowing on the floor and from the dash vents.

 

I tried Auto, Sync, Defrost only, Recirc, tried changing the modes from floor, to vent, to defrost, it doesn't seem to matter.

 

It was a cold drive home tonight, 35 deg. wasn't to bad except with five adults talking, we had to crack the windows to keep the windshield from fogging up.

 

Yes, I did have heat on the Temp. Gauge.

I had all kinds of problems with my 05' GMC climate control. I think there is a problem with the my blend door.

 

My local GMC dealer has a bad reputation when it comes to service. Maybe I'll stop by the Chevy dealer.

Hopped in my truck and went to town, had plenty of heat. What is going on now? Last night I used the remote start with no heat, today I used the old fashion way, with a key, and plenty of heat.

 

Has anyone had any problems with remote start and dual climate control ?

I had this exact thing happen on demo 2014/2015 with 800km's on it. I thought I was doing something wrong. Only had cold air out vents beside touch screen, feet were froze, as we have snow up here. Got worse when truck went into limp mode, smelt like sulphur and like stuck in V4. Was not a good test drive at all.

I haven't had actual no heat, but i've noticed that my climate controls (dual climate) is completely inconsistent as to temperature. I never use auto.

 

What i see is that at times, the actual temperature set, say, 70, can feel either freezing cold or way to hot. sometimes i have to set 80+ to get warm air (even after truck warmed up and OAT above freezing, maybe 40's, and other times i can get hot air with a setting of 70. Other times, when temps are warmer, in the 60's/low 70's, i can set 68 with an OAT of 65-68 and it feels cool and comfortable but them later, with same temps set, i have to set the AC on. Other times it almost feels like the AC is on even though i haven't set the AC to be on, but other times, same conditions, i have to actually set the AC on.

 

Basically, there seems to be no consistency or correlation between what temperature I set the climate controls to and what temperature air actually comes out.

 

All this is after the trucks coolant temps are up to operating temp.

Get the latest software update. I had occasional anomalies with the climate control, radio, etc. but none since the dealer did the latest update. Takes awhile, they have to download the software that is specific for your vin from GM to a thumb drive, then load it into your truck. Took about 90 minutes, definitely worth it. Good luck with yours. BTW, the latest software just came out a couple months ago, so chances are your truck needs it.

My trucks heat seems to working good now, maybe I need to learn how to use it.

My truck was delivered to the dealership late November. How would I know if I have the latest version software ?

They can pull up your software version right in the service drive, then look in their computer to see what the latest is and if an update is applicable to your truck. Based on the symptoms you are describing and your build date, I suspect you would benefit from an update.

      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.
