Not sure how long this will last, it"s really bad. For now it's fine.

 

 

Get the boyfriend out their to clean that up!

 

Cleaned it out already, guess I have to check daily, at least for a while. Living in the woods you'll never know who's moving in with you :)

More shop time last Sunday.

 

Replaced the hood release cable. Painful job. But it's done :thumbs:

Took 2 hours, not too bad I'd think.

 

Looking at the brakes is next.

Didn't do the brakes but really have to.

 

Another thing is driving him on the highway it feels kinda wobbly (?) when I reach 80kmh (and I like going faster than that). It's annoying to keep him in the lane, especially on those roads we have up here.

 

Looks like my Sundays are booked :rolleyes:

*sigh*

 

Bad news.

 

On top of me not being able to drive (wrist joint damage) the engine soon light came on a while ago and I got it checked out.

Code pO446 - evap vent control problem

 

As far as my understanding goes it could be just a leak in a hose or the tank cap or...

 

If I would want to do this on my own (well not really since I can't do a lot right now) would I be in trouble or can I fix this kinda easily?

If I have to let a mechanic fix it how much would it cost? Ballpark would be great.

 

Am I right by saying this isn't a real issue since it won't do anything to the car? It would be an issue if it would have to go through an inspection I guess but that's not the case.

 

I have to ask since I'll have to sell it and I don't wanna screw anyone over. I just need to know if this is a big deal or not and if it can be fixed easily w/o paying big bucks.

 

thanks guys!!

      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.
