I tried to build and price a max tow on the web site. I saw some towing options, but nothing like max tow or trailering. I like being able to hold 3k pounds in the bed of my truck, but 13 mpg gets old, when I read about 25 mpg on the hi way in a truck that hauls ass.

I'll put the 4 wheeler on the trailer instead of in the bed, right. 1200 pounds of tools and crap in the box and under the rear seat, that can go on a half ton....

 

And I found that I was trying to put it on the trail Boss, no go.

Max Trailering Package is $ 850 you make the choice on Packages page.

Nice truck, Block. CC standard bed is the way to go! ?

To get the Max Tow package to show reliably I always would choose short bed, CC, 4x4, 6.2L, LTZ, then go to Packages. Max Tow should be there. If you make other choices, the website might tell you that Max Tow isn't available. 

 

Block8head - Max Tow didn't use to be available for the High Country.  Is that new for 2019, or special order?

Yes sir. They are factory ordered and available for the 19 High Country.

That’s a good looking truck! What’s the payload on the door sticker?

I drove a 19' 6.2 Max Tow. It was a nice looking vehicle. These look MUCH better in person- lots of curves you don't see. The seating position is nice, like my seats in my 2015 HD better. Lots of power, the 10 speed is a little different. Controls are nice, but further away. More room in the cab. Drives nice, but the 2500 has a feeling of more solid/stiff ride. Going to keep the HD.

Here are the cargo numbers 

AEB27517-5843-4C40-BCCD-42CB20923D37.jpeg

That’s a pretty impressive number. I just purchased a 2018 GMC 2500HD SLT All-Terrain crew cab regular bed Duramax and it’s payload is only 1,984lbs. It’s got nearly every option, including sunroof & gooseneck prep kit, which pulls payload capacity. My friend with a 2015 Duramax LTZ without those two options has around a 2,300lb rating. Gotta go gas or get a stripped down diesel to get respectable payload in a 3/4t truck.

      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.
