Column shifter for me! As mentioned it frees up a lot of space and I do not like push buttons.

I hate the floor shifter. I was dead set on a new F-150 till I went to the lot and every truck I saw had a floor shifter. I drove a GM truck only cuz a buddy of mine was raving about his and saw they

I remember the old days when I was a kid there was a Dodge with push buttons to shift the car. Now we are headed back to it.  Bottom line as long as things work properly i don't think the new style will be that bad. Just have to get use to it. I thinking of getting a 2022 Silverado or Sierra but need to see the pics of what outside and inside look like. I want a specific build. Hope i can get pics of the 22s look before cutoff  special build date.

 

I am not a techy type but have to learn to keep up with the times. Just got my 1st NON flip phone. lol

I may be the odd man out here, but really prefer a console floor shifter to column despite the loss of console space. To me, it just looks and feels more sporty and less like grandpa's old car.

I have a 2019 GMC Sierra At4, it has the push start and column shift. It would take a long time to get use to a vehicle without a column shift as every truck I owned had one. Plus I don't trust electronics, they have a tendency to fail. Same as the push start which took a little bit to get use too. The auto stop/start can be a pain in the butt at times.

I like having a key ignition as a backup, with the push start their is no backup that I know of.

That's funny.  There are a whole bunch of electronic components that have to work right, for even your key ignition vehicle to run, for most vehicles made in the last 20 years or more.  And what is the key ignition the "backup" for, that a push-button start wouldn't be?

Start button and key and remote fob all do the same thing.

 

They three all just send a 'start request' to the computers -- and the computers manage the whole start process.

No need to hold the key or button 'til it starts -- just 'bump and release'.

 

Keyed GM's have been this way for many years.

To me if they are going to put the shifter in the center console, may as well offer a 6sp manual and third pedal.

GM mid sized truck would be perfect for it. They think the future is electric, for now.

I enjoyed my 1993 GMC Sonoma 4x4 with the 4.3 and 5sp.

The new console shift is very meh to me. I’m OK with a column shifter but I get flashbacks of 3 on the tree 😉

 

What I really do like is the dial type gear selector that Ram puts on the dash. That ends up giving you massive amounts of storage space in the center console and Ram does a great job of giving you a lot of flexibility with that space. I wouldn’t mind one bit if Chevy stole that idea.

 

Ford, almost gets it right with their folding console shifter. Giving customers that folding workspace is genius IMO but again the shifter is sacrificing what could be some very useful storage space.

      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.
