I need to stay under 6'10" for my parking structure at work and was wondering what the real height of a 6" lift with 35"s would be vs a 4" with 33"s. Can anyone tell me how tall their trucks are? Thanks!

Measure how high it is on stock setup, add 6" then do the math for the rim tire setup you're picking (convert the tire width in mm to in, then take the sidewall % measurement & multiply by that to get your sidewall height in inches) then add 6" + the tire sidewall height + difference in rim diameter you plan on using over stock (if different, which I assume is yes) - and you'll have an idea of what the delta is.

I'm w/ fondu though, doubt it'll fit

Thanks. Did all that math yesterday. Stock it's 74" giving me 8" to play with. 6" lift +35s give me 6'9.5". Was curious if anyone could measure theirs

No chance I would risk it with only half an inch of clearance....

Careful. I'm at 83-1/2" with a 7" Full Throttle lift on a 2015 Denali with 35's and I went into a parking garage with a posted minimum height of 88". I was fine.......until I got to the first light fixture. They forgot to take those into account apparently. There were spikes at the entance, so no backing out. I had to let a ton of the air out of my tires to get out without remodeling or having a convertible. Good thing I have an air compressor and tank on board for my train horns with a hose and fittings to fill tires.

This takes me back, my Tundra lifted ...antenna hitting everything I had to take most of the air out of the tires it took over an hour to get out of a parking garage that normally took 5 min.in my car. I cleared the Max height overhead yellow bar on the way in.

Never again.

Did you ever figure this out?  I have the same exact delimma.  Truck is a 2019 LT Z71 Texas Edition and work garage is 6'10".  Would a 4" lift with 33's fit for sure?  I mean 6" with 35's would be ideal but 4" on 33's would be cool too.

Oh OK.  Well they just tried to steal a lifted Silverado from our parking lot so I'm going to see how high I can go in the garage.  Plus I don't want this Texas heat to mess up my paint and leather.

      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.
