I was traveling with a storage trailer yesterday and hit a large bump on the Interstate that caused it to come off the ball. Scary but luckily I was able to get it to the service road with the chains and thankfully all were safe. Person where I came to rest said I was the 4th person in 2 weeks to hit that spot and lose a trailer. Called responsible state maintenance department today to report.

 

Yes, I have insurance but was curious what I should expect for bids to replace and paint for an estimate? Damage appears to be a series of dents across the metal part of the bumper (see pic - not to bad for what happened) Paint color is white tri-frost. I only believe the metal part of bumper has dents and no other damage. It is a 2016 Sierra Denali with painted bumpers. Thanks.

 

I know it won't be inexpensive just curious on what your experiences tells you the cost should run.

Wow it should never come off the ball and if it did it should RIP all the parts out of the trailer.
Anyways I had same spot damage and honesty it would be cheaper to pay out of pocket. If your deductable is anything $500 or more. It was like $750 or so to replace bumper, all sensors, and upper plastic. With 3 extra spray outs for the color match. I did go with the smooth bump as I hate the pockets.
But point is my insurance goes up a few bucks a month for next 3 years. That's my truck,car,boat,motorcycle, home(3). So I pay like 4k for it all. Not worth it. Or and I'm not saying this but it that happens in a parking lot when you aren't in it and you have broad side. Then it is zero at fault zero deductable. Just saying...

Depending on how handy you are... you could replace it yourself for about $540. 

 

I just replaced my metal shell on my Denali over the weekend after a "Travel Trailer" incident.   Took about 4 hours, but most of that was spent at the kitchen table transferring the plastic trim and parking sensors.

 

If interested in DIY route, check out MBI Auto on Amazon or ebay.   They sell Painted-to-match bumper shells:

Also, there are several you-tube videos that step through the bumper removal process.

Depending on what state you're in - there's often times a threshold that has to be met before a loss can be surcharged.  In PA your insurer must pay out $1,700 or more for the loss to be considered surcharge'able.  So if you were in PA and you had say a $500 Collision deductible - you'd have to have an estimate of $2,200 or more before that claim would cause you to be surcharged.   You can also try to work out a deal with your body man to pay some extra out of pocket to the keep the insurance share below the $1,700 threshold.

 

Also regarding 1SLOW1500's comment - in PA - even as a hit & run claim - it still falls under Collision and your deductible still applies.  Only difference is it's non-surchargeable regardless of payout.  Every state insurance law has it's own way of interpreting how hit & runs are handled.  That's how it is in PA.   As far as I recall Michigan is the only state with true "no-fault" auto insurance so I'm sure they handle hit and runs much differently than most.

Cool idea. Thanks for the link I will check it out.

      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.
