The mirrors I am looking at state they do not fit on classic body style and do not work with built in ambient temperature sensor. Now I don't think I have the temp sensor but how do I tell if I have a classic body style? <br />

I have a 2014 silverado ltz 4x4. I have pix available. The mirror I am looking at is this Chevy Silverado 2014-2015 Towing Mirrors Power Heated LED Signal Lights | A122QKCH221 - TopGearAutosport

Those will work on 2014-2016. If you have DL3 mirrors (you say you have an LTZ?) the flashers will work. You can tell because there are 4 mount studs. You most likely will have to drill your door for the 4th hole.

Yeah I have the ltz. Power mirrors and turn signals and heated. Where do I have to drill and what do I have to run?

When you take the old mirror out, look at the door from the front (as if you were walking up to your truck). You will see the left most mount hole, the right lower and then the right upper. In between the left and the right upper there should be a dimpled area, that would be the drill point. Its right above the wire grommet hole. They call for a 10mm hole (the slightest bit over 3/8).

 

The only trucks that don't need to be drilled are American built crew cabs (vin starts with a 1). All other trucks that came with small mirrors need the hole.

 

Being those mirrors are aftermarket, it is 50/50 that they mount with just 3 studs, so if you order, look before you drill.

O yea no doubt I wouldn't drill unless it was needed. And my Vin does start with a 1 a hopefully I won't need to drill

Crew or double cab? If its a regular or double and starts with a 1 (all of those body styles do) then yes, if its a crew that starts with a 1, no drill, and if its a crew that starts with a 3, yes drill.

      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.
