Hi Guys,

 

I have taken so many idea's and insight's from those here on the site and weaved them into my own little project a 2016 Silverado 2500HD Custom.

 

Here's an update of the mods completed so far:

 

- Rough Country 3.5" lift/level kit

- XD Buck wheels 20 x 9 +0 offset

- Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295/55/20

- Front window tinting 20% sides/5% eyebrow

- GM exhaust tip

- Chevrolet Black bowtie emblems front and rear

- Chevrolet red caliper covers

- BedRug bed liner

- Aftermarket Tonneau cover

- Custom pinstripe

- Black color matched door handles

- Black aftermarket OE style running boards

- Black APS tranny cover opening grille insert

- Black AVS window vent shades

 

Next up:

- Magnaflow 12909 muffler

- Bushwhacker flares (maybe, like it "as-is" too)

- ???

 

Hope you like the photo's.

 

Disclaimer: I'm not quite sure if I'm completely happy with the way the tires fill the fender wells and may address that at some point but will drive it "as-is" for now.

Otherwise the wheels are tires fit and look great no rubbing or scrubbing and no trimming at all.

hows the ride on the Rough Country 3.5" lift/level kit? I'm thinking of doing the same one.

Same or slightly better then stock in my opinion, I think the new shocks with the kit may be why, no more Rancho's. But in fairness they were only on the truck for about 1500 miles. That might not have been enough time for everything to break in completely.

 

I'm happy with the results but to do it again I might have gone for the 4"-6" Zone kit instead (50/50), especially if you want 35's on a rim with +0 to -24 offset. The set up I now have is probably perfect as a daily driver which is how I use my truck.

Looks great man. Your tires are flush right

 

What don't you like about how the tires fill your wells? You run under any extreme bumps or turns?

Thank you for the compliments.

 

I guess I'm over thinking things a bit again, took me 3 months to settle on which set of wheels. LOL

Update: I swapped the muffler over to the Magnaflow #12909 today.

 

Local Muffler shop charged me $236 installed OTD tax included.

 

They welded it in and had it completed in 30 minutes, he said it was pretty straight forward and he didn't need to add any extra pipe, it fit perfectly.

How's the 12909 sound? It was a straight swap huh? That's good to know! I'm gonna dump mine over the axle

I'm happy with it, its definitely a change over stock low deep rumble but not nearly as loud as I anticipated.

 

My wife and daughter haven't even noticed it yet which surprised me.

 

On a loudness scale of 1 to 10 if stock was a 3 the Magnaflow I'd give a 5 riding in the cab.

 

I still need to let the wife drive it and do a few passes then follow her in the car to see how it sounds to others outside of the cab of my truck.

How much "no rub" room do you have, do you think a 295/60/20 with a 0 offset would fit in there?

      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.
