Does anyone have a rust proofing spray for the frame that will not take off the wax coating. Went with fluid film in a couple spots just to try it and yes like others have said it takes the factory coating right off if you touch it. Anyone have a product like fluid film that could be sprayed on the frame that won't hurt the factory coating?

I had the same experience with Fluid Film. Anyway, I ended up Ziebarting, no idea what itll be like in 10 years (so many mixed reviews) but I decided to roll the dice. Expensive initially but then free yearly touch ups long as you clean the frame of dirt before hand.

 

Not sure if you're interested in something like that. At least your frame will always be black and you don't gotta get under there and spray around on your own.

I'd like to hear about this as well. I've got a few spots where the coating has worn off, and there is surface rust visible.

 

I'd like to know what I can spray over it that will play nice with the GM coating. Should we just spray on the same stuff (NOX Rust 121-b,i believe), or should we go with Rustoleum or something?

The factory wax comes right off if you touch it regardless if it has fluid film on it. I had my arm jammed up against the frame and moved it while working under the truck. Took all of the factory wax off where my arm was.

What should we do to the rust spots before spraying the Nox-Rust over them? Something like Por-15?

 

It is sad that us with a 2016 have to be asking this...

For the place where I accidently wiped it off with my arm, I'm thinking of sanding off the rust and then just coating it again with the GM wax. I was thinking of priming and painting it but I'm not sure how the paint would act around the edges where it meets the wax.

I get all my personal vehicles done with Auto Armor rust preventative before I take a new vehicle home after buying.

 

Something to look at... Line-X now has frame coating products to protect underside of vehicles. Thinking about getting my next semi truck done with that.

I have used the Amsoil HDMP stuff frequently for my commercial trucks. I buy a case at a time. It is a very good product.

The Daubert Nox Rust x-121b, the stuff our frame is coated with, is about $30 shipped for one can. Anyone know if the dealerships sell the stuff?

      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.
