Yes sir! That's what I have.

 

That sounds easy enough? How hard was the install? And does it sound better than stock?

Edit* Checked them out on their website and they say they won't fit my model. ugh :(But! My truck is a 2015, if I select 2014 there is a super 40 (part# 853046). Since the 2014 and up are the same new body style, they should be pretty much the same under the truck as well no? I don't see what they could really change

I have a 2015 and had my muffler and flapper cut out. I left everything else alone. The truck sounds great and only cost $60. If you didn't like it it would only be $60 lost.....

 

I returned my weathertech floor mats. Try Husky liners. I thought they were cheap knock-offs, but they are actually a better fit and better engineered product (in my opinion)....

I had mine installed by a guy... Mostly because I wants duals with tips. It was like $400 for the muffler, labor, and chrome tips.

You could have bought a Mandrel Bent kit for less than $400

Yes, I could have, but I didn't.

I work a full time job, I'm an Air Force reservist, a full time student, and I'm trying to date a girl. I just didn't have any extra time to do it myself, and I don't mind spending the money to have it done flawlessly.

Yeah that's pretty much how I feel. I bought a 40 series muffler, I'll install it hopefully once the weather clears up. I also bought a tip but they sent the wrong size. May end up just keeping it all stock aside from the muffler. (If it sounds as I'd like)

I just left the exhaust shop and the fella told me that a guy just had him do this, (chop off the muffler and replace with straight pipe but retained the rear resonator and flapper) and came back the very next day and said it was too much and couldn't handle the drone and to replace the muffler. Am I missing something or is he?

      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.

      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.

      To me it honestly makes zero difference what filter you run. It's not a race engine, just a truck engine that's mostly bumming highways and it just needs a filter that filters oil.   The filter used to be a 7060 and the long version was a 7045. Now it's the newer updated filter that the K2XX trucks and newer run, the 100255 I believe if we are using napa numbers. Any of those filters is going to do the job.   I wouldn't overthink it, to me it makes no difference because those first filter numbers worked for 18+ years before the spec suddenly changed.
