The RC only has the 4 speaker setup, anyone tie in dash speakers yet? Can't be too crazy but I don't like to reinvent the wheel.

I would ditch the idea of dash speakers. That's a lot of work for nor reason. Custom tweeter mounts in the A-Pillar will give you better imaging and will be much easier and cheaper. Just my 2 cents.

Eh, not wanting to tear in to the a-pillar for tweets, and it would be less work to install them in the factory locations.

OK, maybe I dont have the right picture in my head. So you have 4 door speakers. Does you dash have the cutouts for the speakers along with the grill cover? Basically a normal 1500 dash just no speakers added? Is that right? I was thinking you didn't have the speaker cutouts in the dash, hence why I said a pillar would be easier. If that's the case, yes, you can use a crossover and tweeters of choice. You would need to make a custom mount unless you use the OEM speaker because the OEM speaker size is aa ridiculous 3.257" or so. Not a size you'd find off the shelf.

Thats correct.... It has a spot for them to go behind the grill but no speakers. I grabbed some GM Bose Pillar speaker pods out of a 2012 Tahoe that I will install in my pillars during the dash speaker install. It has the same radius as the 2014 pillars so a little time with a dremel tool ought to get a perfect hole for the install.

Ok gotcha. Here's the set that will drop in. Not sure if they're discontinued but they're pricey. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Stage4/TS-S062PRS

 

I did my full system (well 3/4 of a system) and still use my stock dash speakersspeakers. They aren't terrible but they are not great. Just haven't felt like taking the time to disassemble and modify them. Our dash speaker is a more of a midrange speaker and I'm worried I won't get the sounds I want from a small tweeter due to its location. Stock speakers will be fine if you want a quick, cheap fix for better sound. Other than that, go through the thread I showed you and contact the op aswell. He is very knowledgeable and helped me a lot during my build.

Did you have any problems when you disconnected the door speakers in the front? I'm reading that they are on the same wire as the dash speakers. I disconnected mine, added some new 6x9 to run off an amp, and the dash speakers stopped working. Any ideas?

I know I'm way late to the party on this page, but did anyone ever determine if the dash speakers are plug and play? I have the wiring and want to add the speakers but if it's not plug and play I won't bother because I could live without them.

      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.
