2014 Silverado, RALLY 4WD


Recommended Posts

Posted

Issue 1:

I have a 2014 Silverado 4wd rally, since I purchased this truck, there has been a rattling, pinging, from under my truck, the dealership replaced the muffler like 2 years ago and the noise is still present.

Seems like when I am going up hill at 60-70 or any hill at 30-35, it clearly looses power and sounds like I need a lifter adjustment or the timing is off, but its from under the drivers side, under the bed.

 

Service center has me pay for ride along's with a def technician who looks under the hood and changes the report and they throw there hands up and say we cant do anything if we can't duplicate my concerns.

 

This has gone on since I've owned this truck, as a busy dad and contractor its difficult to get there. 

 

Issue 2:

The truck also engages 4wd low, a chevy tech told me this was normal when traction control is engaged ? !!!! I was like what?

 

The knob is on 2wd, the truck drops into 4wd low with no indication lights on the dash and just when leaving a parking spot or turning onto a street, I have to turn the truck off and back on to make it go away

Johnny01: noise and power problem. Sounds like it could be the rear brakes, something broken or adjustment issue. If your brakes are adjusted to tight or something is broken internal behind the rotors or drums. It could cause the noise and power issues. Going upgrade you could be loosing power because the rear brakes are dragging.

Johnny01: The GM tech told you a bunch of B.S, I would remove the 4x4 switch out and check the wiring out. Make sure it's not broken or unpluged.If not check the switch as well or have it checked.

    • 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.  
    • 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. 😉
    • 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.
