So far this is the only picture of my truck I have, so you might have seen it already.

I have a Safety Rack with rails.

 

I am happy with the setup. Was very easy to install and is very stout.

 

I have a Back Bar as well, but won't fit with the rails. I am going to fab up a custom bracket so I can attach the bar to the rails easily.

I have the original back rack mounted on my 2015 and it's the same kit since 2007 so it's easy to get and still simple to install. They are solid when they are mounted and I use mine as I only put racks on work truck junk lol. No pictures since I put it on... hardest thing to do was cut the front stake pocket holes out and it wasn't hard anyway.. I just was careful with a box cutter. This is my fifth back rack now. Canadian Tire up here puts them on sale for cheap quite often and the fact they don't screw up the truck to install makes them all the better. I am hoping this 2015 ends up being a good truck as I get tired of loading my tool chest and 48x40x12 packrat back into my rotting into the ground 160000 mile 05 Sierra and bringing it back from retirement. All I know about my Silverado thus far is it's 6.2 is fun to drive!

I went with the DeeZee headache rack(s) because I liked the way they looked and the hard angles. So far they have worked pretty great and were an easy install, the only problem was with the damn shipping company taking about 3 months to get them to me...

 

Here's a few horrible pictures I snapped the other day, you get the idea at least.

I am looking to get something so I can carry my kayaks but need a set that will be easy to put on and take off and work with a tonneau. Have even contemplated making a set. Hope I can get some good ideas from you all! tracrac_tracone_kayaks.jpg

I wouldn't mind a simple back rack just to keep the back window safe with the atv in there.

 

Looking forward to seeing more pics

Mine. Somewhat set up for work but still missing my weather guard slider. Once the slop freezes at work I will swap over to this truck completely.

I got this not to long ago and this is what it looks like so far. The lights on it I ended up removing since they didnt work. But looking to put on some LED pod lights to replace it. Trying to decided between a flood pattern light or spot pattern. Not sure what would be best. Mainly would be used for loading and unloading once it is dark. Then can turn one to another location if needed.

Guy I am looking to add a backrack and found the backrack 15004 at mytruckpoint.ca for $186, will it work for Tundra and GMC Sierra 1500?

      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.
