Interior door panel peeling

So I noticed my driver door soft touch vinyl was discolored and it was a very thin layer peeling off in spots.  I tried touching it up but just made it worse and finally bought a new door panel.  Then today wiping the inside with damp micro fiber there was a small spot on passenger side also fueled off. After I wiped it the water made it flake off even more. I never used any harsh chemicals just 303 protectant and McKee’s interior cleaner which is water based. It’s a tinted transparent film that’s is peeling off leaving a different shade of grey/ black.  So far dash and back doors are ok.  

Is there a known problem with the vinyl on these trucks?  I don’t want to spend another $350 for a door panel. Can the vinyl be redyed?

I was wondering if this is a build up of dash protectant over 4 years since when I wipe with a warm damp microfiber it turn milky except the section that peeled off.  So I decided to scrub the entire panel and as soon as it turned milky it just peeled off super easy.  It is black underneath where it peeled off and looks nice and matte finish like it did new.  Could this be possible the vinyl protectant built up or did I just peel off a layer of vinyl. It was a super thin layer and was black tinted but I have never had anything like this happen before it occurred on the soft padded vinyl on both front doors. The lower hard plastic nothing comes off

Bet it is the 303 - tried a bottle of it and was not impressed.  I use Meguiar's #40 once every 3 months if that - there is such a thing as over maintaining.

that's a pretty general question, I've had my truck for almost 3 years now but haven't seen any problems with the vinyl.  Even my jump center console's vinyl where I usually put my arm on.

 

No problems for me, off course I just use wet microfiber towel to wipe it down every few weeks or when I do a car wash.

      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.
