This happened when i backed in the garage after work.  Appearantly the garage door stopped short about 4" from full open.  I never heard it until it was dragging across the cab...

 

I feel like this  :lol:   and I want some of  this  :nono:

Dam. Will it buff out at all? Those look pretty deep.

It won't buff out...  The scratches on the cap are down through the gel coat and into the fiberglass.  The scratches on the cab are into the primer and on one of the ridges on the cab it's to bare metal  :nono:

Ouch, that happened to me when I had my ZR2 Blazer, fortunately that 31" spare bumped it and I stopped before any damage was done to the door, I figure my spare would have wiped my door out!

Sorry to hear about that.  

 

I thought it only happened to me. I smashed the drivers door on my Sonoma by backing up in the yard with the door open while unloading mulch in the flower beds.  I got a little to close to a tree and the tree won.

Ouch.  At least it's on the topside so you don't have to look at it every time you walk up to your truck.  I guess that's the silver lining in this one.

I'll fix it...  (sigh)  I could probably turn it in on my home owners, but I doubt it's worth it....

 

I'll check with the local body shop that I trust, and ask them to scuff and spray the cap... (no filling) and then fix the cab correctly.

 

Gosh was I mad when I saw it!!!  SOB!!!  :nono:

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      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. 😉
