I have a 2005 Chevy Avalanche that the ABS light has been on for quite some time now. Today I took the positive battery cable off and ohm'd it out to the positive connection of the ABS pump and got infinite ohms. is this supposed to be open? I am assuming that the pump module should be supplied voltage all of the time and the module turns the pump on and off. Any thoughts?

If I am reading this correctly, you are checking with the key in the off position. Instead of using an ohm meter, use a volt meter with the battery connected and the key on. Using an ohm meter the way you are is not really the way to test it.

Check the 60A abs fuse in the underhood fuse box. On a functioning vehicle, you should have continuity from the disconnected batt cable to the abs module conn 1 terminal B red wire. Not how I would test it though. Just test for voltage at that terminal. Also check the ground on the frame. Front left body mount area .

To properly check for voltage drop across a connection you just connect a voltmeter (on 2volt scale) on either side of the connection. On the 12volt part of the automotive electrical system it is generally acceptable to see 0.1v on a connection, but 0.0v is preferred(obviously). With computers and sensors operating at 5volts, acceptable voltage drop is pretty much 0.0v or in the hundredths of a volt range (0.01volt). Keep in mind that the voltage drop is due to resistance. Resistance can be due to anything from a corroded connection to a light bulb(or any other load in the system).

 

Ground circuits are usually where you will find the largest voltage drops. This is simply due to most not even checking/maintaining ground circuits because they figure on the ground there is no power, so connection does not really impact anything. The opposite is true. Remember that when checking voltage drop, the electrical system must be completely connected. NOTE: Do not test volt drop using ohm meter.

 

What I used to do to check for something killing the battery overnight was to disconnect the ground cable from battery, and then taking a test light and connecting one end to negative battery post, and the other end to the terminal of the disconnected cable. If the light lights up, then there is enough of a drain on the battery to kill it overnight.

      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.
