Was scrolling through a thread about the 2014-2016 silverados and adding aftermarket brake controllers, wondering if it's possible to put the stock ITBC in a 2017 Silverado 1500 2wd 5.3, mine came with the 7 prong adapter so I was told it's prewired for it by the trailer company but wondering if anyone has come across this yet. Would prefer to keep the stock look instead of adding a box underneath the dash.

Anymore, I am surprised that GM doesn't just have the ITBC installed on every pickup that leaves the line. They put so much other stuff on a pickup that is about short of worthless and unnecessary, putting the factory brake controller in would make a lot more sense than some of the other goofy stuff they put on at the factory whether you want it or not.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I love the factory controller. I love towing with this truck in general!

You couldn't add the ITBC to any previous year. I doubt GM suddenly did something different for the 2017s.

The actual controller piece (at least on my 07) resides on the drivers side frame rail just behind the rear tire and is more of a brake by wire system as it is tied into the stability control and anti lock braking systems as well as the manual override in the cab. You would have to add the actual control module, any sensors, and probably reprogram a computer or two that control the brakes. I think I would stick to a good aftermarket controller.

Factory controller can not be added to a 2014-2017 truck. GM does offer a plug and play aftermarket controller made by Curt p/n 19330154.

 

From GM on adding the factory one:

 

#PIT5241D: Adding Integrated Trailer Brake Controller RPO JL1 - (Sep 13, 2016)

Condition/Concern

Some customers may request the factory Integrated Trailer Brake Controller (RPO JL1) be installed on their Full-Size Pickup or SUV when the vehicle was not ordered with the option.

 

This is to advise you that, if the vehicle does not have the option (RPO JL1), it cannot be added to the vehicle.

 

Note: Reference the latest version of PI1105 - which advises how to install an aftermarket trailer brake controller.

Does it call for some ECM reprogramming as well to make it work? The harness is there, just a matter of getting the computers to recognize and incorporate into things when putting in a ITBC. Would seem that is the only hiccup to doing this by those that didn't have factory ITBC.

The dealer installed the aftermarket Curt brake controller and said the ITBC could not be added. I don't really have a problem with it, but, where they mounted it, I do. They mounted it on the lower panel to the right of the steering wheel. So my knee hits it when I get in reaching for the accelerator pedal. Where does everyone mount their aftermarket controllers?

Like other said it can't be added. I would really like GM to at least put a indent in the base of the dash so you could add on and not have the Knee hitting issue.

 

I added one in my 2014 but the 2016 had the built in one.

 

I put mine right over the E-Brake in the 2014 and pulled it when I was not using it just to avoid hitting my knee.

      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.
