One more year for me...I actually only have like one semester left (12 credits), but I am waiting it out to next may instead of graduating this Dec.  Gotta apply for law school, and won't be able to start until Fall of '04, so might as well take a couple of classes and keep working (my job right now is somewhat based on my going to school, no school, no work)... :chevy: But it will come soon enough, and will be an easy couple of semesters to end with...then off to torture myself with 3 more years of school... :cheers:

 

 

Anyways, congrats on getting done with school Ryan :thumb:  :thumb:

Yea I have been looking since december.  Never to early to start.  I have had a few interviews and I think I may have something possibly but will find out at the end of the month.  

 

So far the best thing this semester is my econ class is finishing up a wk before finals without a final so I only have 2 finals on one day so from tuesday til the monday of graduation I can do what Batgirl suggested   :cheers: Itll be nice sleeping in for me is sleeping till 7:30am which i did today

I've got 3 1/2 weeks after this week.  Then one more semester and a semester of student teaching.  As for the feeling of anxiousness, I'm torn.  I'll be glad to be done with classes, but then I remeber how much easier this is than having a real job.  When I graduated from college the first time I couldn't wait to be finished with it, this time I'm not so anxious.  Those 5 years at a real job made me appreciate the time here this time.

I said the same thing the first time around.  Especially since the job I was getting had absolutely nothing to do with my degree.  It didn't matter, even with all the aggrevating stuff you have to deal with college is far easier than having a real job.

I still have to disagree, but hey they are both opinions I guess and arent supposed to be the same. But when I get a real job I wont have to mess with all this stuff I dont like because I will never have to use stuff like Calc 2, numerical methods, and all that other useless stuff.

That's true, and you are right opinions shouldn't always be the same.    :thumb:

 

However, I'd be anxious to see if your opinon changes in 5 or 6 years.  I hope it doesn't, just like I'm hoping that I have the same opinon as you do after I get out of school this time.  If your opinion doesn't change, then you'll have alot to be thankful for.   :thumb:

That depends entirely on your line of work.  :eek:

      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.
