Hi everyone, I think I found a way to stop the auto stop function. Temporarily  anyways until someone comes out with an actual delete. I had the max defrost on 1 morning and noticed the truck didn’t shut off at a stop light. I continued to drive to work and it didn’t shut off once. There are many stop lights and stop signs on my to work so the auto stop function is very annoying to me. I’ve been driving like this for a few days now before I posted this just to make sure. So what I’ve been doing is switching the max def on and just turn the fan to low. My only thoughts to this is am I putting wear on any major things other than the blower motor? Don’t want to hurt the truck in anyway just because I hate the auto stop feature. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

Do you also know there is a toggle switch to turn it off.  At least my truck has one. A button with an "A" on it.  You have to turn it off each time you start the truck though.

 

Congrats on your new truck.

SO far I have never encountered a dealer where they knew more about the vehicle I wanted to buy than me.

It is especially entertaining when the salesman argues with a potential customer about features, packages, engine numbers etc.

Turnover rates are so high that most dealers never have the chance to properly educate their salesman on all of the models.

I remember in the mid 90s hot rod mag had an article about the 94 impala SS coming and had projected performance numbers. I went there to order one. They said I was misinformed. Months later they had two. First car I paid sticker for.

My wife's Subaru autostop won't activate if the rear defroster is on. Forum members on the Subaru side figured out there is a computer setting to permanently turn on the rear defroster (until you turn it off), which basically turns off the autostop permanently. This way you don't have to push the button every time you get in the truck.

So I think what you are saying is probably correct. Most autostops won't work unless the car is warm, and not when the defroster is on.

Another way, at least on GM vehicles, is to just put it in manual mode.  Manual and click up to highest gear, no start stop.  That's what I've found with the loaners that had that not even close to seamless crap on them.

I think I noticed in L mode it doesn't auto-stop, but with the 10sp shifting to L and clicking upshift to 10 is a whole lot more work than hitting the A/S/S switch to turn it off once.

Guess that's one advantage of my wimpy 4.3, no auto shut off.

      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.

      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.

      To me it honestly makes zero difference what filter you run. It's not a race engine, just a truck engine that's mostly bumming highways and it just needs a filter that filters oil.   The filter used to be a 7060 and the long version was a 7045. Now it's the newer updated filter that the K2XX trucks and newer run, the 100255 I believe if we are using napa numbers. Any of those filters is going to do the job.   I wouldn't overthink it, to me it makes no difference because those first filter numbers worked for 18+ years before the spec suddenly changed.
