You'll wonder how you ever pulled a trailer without it. It takes a little getting used to because the truck has the same turning radius a a Saturn. You'll love it trust me. :wtf:

I have 5600 miles on my 03 Quadrasteer. I really enjoy the overall handling of the truck either driving in town or out on the road. It is nice to cut tight corners without the right rear climbing curbs or dropping off in holes. Parking is a breeze although I still tend to be way out in the lots.

 

Pulled a 1500 pound trailer with three dirt bikes and camping gear over 2200 miles to Colorado and back. Not a big or heavy trailer but I never felt it back there. I used to with my 2000 Z71.

 

Some don't like the clearance lights; I do they set the truck off as something a little different. Then there is the Denali box, the outside is not metal and sounds strange to beat on.

 

It would be hard to go back to a regular Extcab after driving the Quadrasteer.

 

I think you will enjoy it.

Completely love it. From towing to tight turns, its absolutely amazing. Be prepared for everyone and their mother to want to see it work. I've done circles and figure-eights in parking lots on more than one occasion for strangers

Haha, not surprising. Can I see, can I see?

I've had Quadrasteer in my Sierra Denali for over a year now and am very happy with it. Great for parking and great for taking those tight corners. I love to watch peoples eye's bug out when they see me parking or doing a u-turn on a narrow street without a cut! I got used to it in a day and it feels very normal and natural now. I wouldn't buy another truck without it! I haven't heard one owner complaint about Quadrasteer, and have never heard of one instance of it having problems.

I am really impressed with my Suburban with Quadrasteer, You can put the trailer in some preety tight spots and move it inches or feet in any direction efforlessly. Great for around town as well. You can manuver around some things you never thought you would make. I as well have done a few "demonstrations"

:) heres to all that has been said about Q-steer so far!! notice not the first negitive reply!! ME? Here is what I have been doing with mine! Pulling a 7000#,24' 5th wheel! It has been everything I had hoped for!! the Sierra Denali is supposedly a 1500hd, but I say it is everything 3/4ton and more! part of July and Aug I was on a trip with the combo and put 4197 miles on it! very little of that was the 5th wheel not on the truck. this included Mt Rushmore and YellowStone areas and back to Indy. the truck, AWD/AWS never missed a lick and was trailing a sierra duramax/allison and 28' 5th wheel and a powerstroke 1T duallie and 32' prowler. countless times I could have taken them oon some hellacious grades! My 96 Aurora gets no milage on it now. giv'me QUADRASTEER all the time ~~~Dave J

I simply love mine. And to see the look on peoples faces when you make those sharp turns was worth the extra price alone. :)

 

I've got about 7k miles on it now, and except for a few "Service 4 Wheel Steer" messages, no problems what so ever. And with that problem, all I had to do was kill the truck and restart. It happened with less than 1k on the truck and the dealer "could not duplicate" but it hasn't happened since.

 

It took a little getting used to backing a trailer with it, but once you get used to it, it's a dream.

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      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. 😉
