2015 Z71 Midnight Edition Silverado 4X4 LTZ 6.2 LEE-TAA Monster engine, Fully loaded errr-thang that's available for this mofo. :facepalm:

Now it's time to find my fellow offroad companions and find all these trails around Houston and see how far in the woods this 4X4 will get me stuck.

So, it took a couple weeks for dealers to find a truck with all the options i wanted in the Midnight edition with the deal breaker has to have the 6.2 engine.
So dealership calls me, says they found one, "come sign paper work and we will have it shipped over". (No biggy, i had to have the GTI shipped down also because of the options not being around the area of Houston.) So i already knew how it was going to go.
So i went down, talks some numbers, they tried to rape me compared to other dealers trying to give me the same thing. So i showed dealer the quotes of other dealers and they beat it by a 100 bucks. Ok, coo, lets get my truck shipped. Three days go by, no call, no nothing. I Call them, everything ok with the shipping? Excuse was "Man the other dealer said it's such a rare truck they don't want to sell it to us." Fine, i understand. So I'm like "ok, where is it, I'll go get it"..."Well we can't tell you, we sign papers and we can't lose your deal and business." Ok, well find another, let me know.

Couple days go by and got a call. "Ok, we got one with everything you wanted, it's sitting in the show room all cleaned up ready for you to test drive and take it home tonight." I said, "Well i have to work late a couple days and i haven't had overtime in, I don't know how many months in this slow ass oil field business. So i don't want to take off early and miss out on overtime". Dealer says "Ok, that's fine, whenever". So two days roll by, get a call from dealer, "Man everyone that sees your truck has to have it, we are turning down deals left and right, If you don't come down here today, we are selling it." "I told you I'm working, and hell no you are not selling the truck, remember you wanted the deal/business, now where is that philosophy?"

It so happen that day the manager was like, "yall go home early and i'll still pay yall for 12hr's". Cool, I can go get the truck. So it still pissed me off that he told me that. So i go in, sign paper work in finance department, give him some playful hell. They had the truck in the "show room area" as they call it. So Sales manager, couple sales man, and general manager are all there when they hand me the keys and go over the basics of the truck, like onstar, door locks, remotes, seats...blah blah blah. I'm like give me keys, I know what I'm doing. The wife gets in the passenger side, and all the dealer employees are like "nice truck, enjoy it" then the guy that "threaten" to sale it, "It's a nice truck huh?" I turned to my wife, "these mofokas being all nice now, **** these bitches!" She's like "No you better not! Your going to get in trouble!" I put that bitch in drive, floor it and leave two black marks in front of them all! All customers turn and look, lmao.

I get a call from one of the salesman "That burnout you did, voided all your warranty". lmao.

I've always been a street racing dude, all my cars have been bought and modded for speed. My brother still has the bug (6.2 silverado with Heads, valvetrain, cam, exhaust, intake...you know all the normal shit a texas truck has)
My 2010 VW GTI. 13.5 1/4 @107mph on 93 (never got to run at the track with my water meth kit on race gas tune) (Beat most of the cars on the high end, stupid Fail Wheel Drive.. I mean Front wheel drive)

First exterior mod was done today. Running boards for my wife and kids who are to short to climb up in it. I don't like them. Going to sell them and get the power steps, just looks cleaner to me when they hide. Next mod will be to rewire to make my foglights come on any time my truck is started Day or night time. I don't like that i have to push the button to turn them on. 27xjmll.jpg

Do any of the mods include removing the black grill, headlights, or front bumper for aftermarket? If so I'd love to buy them off you (I'm in Houston energy corridor).

 

(assuming the '15 parts fit the '14, which would be weird if they didnt).

      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.
