Thinking of changing out both the front and rear bumpers. Would like to see some photos of different styles/options. Post em up if you have any.

LOD's bumpers are so nice. I confirmed with LOD they are coming out with the Silverado bumpers soon.

So nice!

these are great - I'd love to know if they have it for the 1500 and how much it will cost...

awesome, someone already made a thread for aftermarket bumpers but seems like a dead thread :( lets bring it back to life! I need help deciding on bumpers too! Already have a great rear set up in mind but am looking for something for the front

 

Here's my rear idea, Backwoods bumper with 6" bars angled outward w/ flood optics and a single row 20-25" bar in the center with flood/spot combo optics

Here's my front Road Armor non-winch bumper.

I'll be changing out the rear soon also. Going to go for a Fab Fours Vengeance.

Looks good! Can you give us a pic from the side. I'm looking for a bumper that maximizes approach angle. I'm in the air right now but leaning towards the SCA performance bumper.

i really like the look of the front bumper on the reaper. i was at the dealership yesterday and the guy was showing me one... list price was $102,000 but it's been reduced to $89,000..... yea... still a big NOPE!

 

but i loved the front bumper (sooooo not a fan of the grille... too 'dodge-ish' for me)

 

personally, i'd colour match or 'dip' the grey parts

Hate the look of that reaper to be honest. I do wish GM would release their own version of the raptor though.

 

I really want FabFours Vengeance bumpers, I'm just bummed they only sell them with holes for parking sensors. I even contacted them about trying to get a custom set without done, no dice. I'll prob run it anyway and throw some LED running lights in the holes. Would look pretty sweet IMO.

The vengeance back bumper is sweet. The front one I am torn about because of the 2 big holes they have. If it was a little more tightly packed.

    • 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.  
    • 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. 😉
    • 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.
