Has anyone pulled of the wood trim on the doors? Is it just snaps and can I just snap it back on if I pull it off?

I have. It has some tabs on the top, and then 3 or 4 clips in the middle actually hold it in place. Start at one side, gently prying from the bottom to pop the clips and it will come right out.

What's underneath it? Is it worth doing?

Mine seem to rattle with certain bass frequencies with the Bose system. I need to pull them off to see if I can pad them with some foam to solve that problem. But as usual I'm afraid I will break them in the process.

Not sure I understand the question. Perhaps your question is if you can just leave them off if you don't like the wood look? If so my opinion is no, because internal door parts are underneath it. I had to remove them to resolve some vibration related buzzing in the doors, and then popped them back on, and based on the OP's wording, I assume he's looking to cleanly pull them so he can put them back on once he's done inside the door.

This is EXACTLY why I had to pull mine off. I found the buzzing to be them and the actual window and door lock control modules sitting in their holders as well. I used various pieces and sizes of stick-on felt in different spots to take up the slack and stop the buzzing.

What did you use to pull them off?

I actually want to pull them off so I can wrap them since I don't particularly like the wood color. I'll most likely wrap them carbon fiber or a slate color or to match the wrap I'm going to do on the outside. I could do it with them on but I don't want to risk cutting the leather when trimming. Thanks for the info. I'll take some pictures of what they look like when I pull them off.

I just don't like the wood grain look. My dad loves it, albeit in his M5 - but that's a different car and real wood.

      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.
