Well I left friday morning to go fishing.  Pretty nice day.  Loaded up (i need a long bed crew cab more and more  :eek: )and took th 2 hr trip.  Got there and cut the grass (by hand since we still havent got the rider working). It was pretty high (knee high).  Did some fishing then that night all heck broke loose.  Pretty bad storm ripped through our area (right down us30).  They were flashing baseball sized hail and tornados.  Luckily I only seen pea sized hail (i had blankets ready).  

 

Saturday was nice.  Warm and perfect.  Went to town to walmart to buy some things and luck would have it i ran into some mobil 5qt jugs for like $18 WOOHOO i hit the jackpot.  I would have bought all 5 until my gf suggested i didnt  :seeya:.  That night we hit the lake and i didnt catch a darn thing.  Was fun though.  

 

Sunday sucked (today), cold rainy windy.  

 

My weekend did turn out awesome though this past thursday i had a pretty intene interview for a job they told m i would find out in a week.  Well friday night my mom called to let me know they were offering me the job.  Saturday they sent a letter.  So thanks guys for all your help on selecting something to wear (I choose a nice dress shirt and khakis and no tie).

Havent fully accepted the job yet.  I plan on it its still settling in especially the income  :seeya: Still need to graduate (tomorrow) and pass a physical/drug test (no problemo).  

 

I never knew how stressful it was going to be graduating and getting a job.  I have never thought about a 401K or health insurance before in my life its scary  :eek:

Stressful? Thats nothing...Wait till you buy your first house. Because it's not about how much you are going to be bringing in....It's about how much you owe to someone else. Now THATS scary.

 

It's all good though. How many retards do you know that have a 401k, and own a house? Quite a few, I'm sure. If they can Gump their way through it, you shouldn't have any problems. :eek:

      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.
