So shifting to M, the +/- does nothing. I took off the column plastic, orange cable seems fine. Tow Haul button works.  Is there a fuse or ??

What do you mean by it does nothing?   Does the gear indicator on the dash change?

 

It does not work like a manual mode where you can upshift and downshift at will.  You use the +/- button to set the highest gear you want the transmission to be allowed to go into so it is really a "limiter".  After you set that it shifts by itself but will not go higher than that gear (for example if you set it to "M5" it will never go above 5th gear).

The wires normally break inside the handle near the button. Here is how you test it. Disconnect the orange wire and using a voltage meter goto the Ohms setting and touch (don't cramp them into) the terminals on the switch side. Toggle the + and Minus button and you should see the resistance value change higher then lower. If it does not, you have a bad shifter switch.

meaning if I go int M_1 I can't + to M_2 or from M_2 down to M_1

Yes it will do that just be careful about downshifting too soon. But sk is also right, if you set it to m4 it will not shift into 5th or 6th unless the computer thinks it's going to over rev.

IMO

Up Shift

It will not shift to a higher gear by its self than the one you've selected.

4th gear M.

It will go from 1st to fourth as needed but never to fifth unless you shift it.

 

Down Shift

The computer controls the down shift points.

If you're in manual 5 and shift it down to 4 th gear it will not down shift if you're going to fast.

      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.
