2006 yukon denali family/school hauler with 107000 miles

 

just wondering what your pad life is with these size suvs.

 

at 90000 miles the rears started to squeel like crazy and they resurfaced the rotors and replaced pads for a bit over 300 bucks

that was the first time the vehicle has ever had brake work

 

are these pads that good?

 

i went in today for an oil change and asked to have the front brakes evaluated....they have not squeaked yet.

I was told they have 65% remaining.....what is that correlated in the mm size?

 

also, whats the story with durastop pads? is that a lower model of pads vs what came with the vehicle

 

thank

On my 2006 Sierra SLT 4x4 1/2 ton truck, I had a bad squeal from the front brakes at around 78,000 as I recall. The only real problem was the right front caliper had gotten stuck a little sideways and caused the inner lining to wear uneven, and the squealer tip was rubbing the disc. The total lining wear otherwise was maybe 20 to 25%. I replaced the front linings and rear drum shoes "just because", but if it hadn't been for that uneven wear, the way I drive, the OEM linings would probably have gone well past 150,000 or so. I replaced the front linings again and also the discs when I did the front axle hubs, I think that was around 120,000. I have 157,000 now, the rears are showing almost no wear and I expect my brakes to last until 200,000 at least. But I am easier on brakes than most people, I mostly drive the highway and don't use them much.

      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.
