Pumping gas in the hood


Recommended Posts

Posted

I avoid getting gas in bad neighborhoods but it happens sometimes and this problem isn't limited strictly to gas stations. Smash and grabs happen a lot in my city but theres also the quiet thieves that slip in while you are pumping gas or otherwise distracted steal your shit and run. My concern comes from when Im pumping gas and the truck automatically unlocks every door. Is there a way to have just the drivers door and the gas tank unlock?

There is a setting in the stereo menu to select what doors you want to unlock with the keyfob.  You can choose all of them, or just the drivers door.

Time to move.

Better investment than a truck.

Someone messes with me with a gas nozzle in my hand, shame on them.

Find a nice community where the liberals predominate, they will take your guns and teach you and your family to hide in a  closet while the undesirables ( with guns) relieve you of your possessions and haul them away in your truck.

You have a locking fuel door?

You need to avoid those areas. The demographic in those areas are people who can't earn a living honestly, and will resort to dishonorable means to get what they want.

I lied...kind of. I thought it was available through CHevy accessories but it’s an AC Delco part I got on amazon. P/n in the photo.

only issue I have with it is it doesn’t have the tether so don’t forget to put it back on.

Oh thanks! I was looking for a fuel door that unlocks with the central door locks ...I thought OP said they had that. 

 

 

Thanks for the part#! Found it on Amazon for $13.xx

So OP says he *works* in the ghetto, and doesn't live there.

FUEL UP BEFORE YOU GO! Are you one of those people who runs down to fumes before you fill up?! That doesn't save you any money. You have to go where you have to go. BUY. THE. GAS. YOU. JEW.

Jesus. All you're doing is cooking your fuel pump by running it so low.

    • 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.  
    • 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. 😉
    • 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.
