Hey guys/gals. Let me ask a few questions.

 

First of all, I have the Bose system, and about a month ago, I lost some of the backlighting on the radio...no big deal, it can wait, then today I have no sound coming from the radio, no AM/FM, or CD, and my horn quit working. Now I called the dealer, and they told me they would pull the radio, and send it in. Its under warranty, so its no big deal. Now my question is that doesnt the radio control the chimes/airbag/and other stuff? If they pull it, wont I loose all that stuff? He didnt know what I was talking about. I hope someone can shine some light my way!!

 

Thanks guys!!

 

Sorry for the long post.

I had a similar thing happen to my 03' Silverado. I did not loose any backlights, just all the audio and chimes. Radio still lit up and I was receiving messages on the Radio data system from stations. The problem turned out to be the fuse for the radio amplifer in the fuse box under the hood. I removed it to see if it was blown, and it was not so I put it back in. After that the sound and chimes were working again and have been ever since.

 

HTH.

You said you have the BOSE system. What reciever do you have? CD, CD/Cassette, or 6 CD?

 

My friend has an Envoy with the BOSE system, and has gone through 3 different reciever units due to problems with the system. may not be exactly related to your situation, but apparently there is a flaw.

My receiver is the CD/Cassette. When I went to go home the other night, the radio worked fine, has ever since. But the backlighting is still out, and the horn still is inop. Im really starting to miss my 3/4 ton Yukon. :jester:

 

Oh well, fix the little problems, and it will be alright.....

I got a 03 2500hd with 1300 miles on it. I dont drive too much had it almost 3 months. I got bose with cd/cassette. At 200 miles i couldnt get sound from the stero.

      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.
