Hope nobody minds, but I'm going to start up a Quick Reference Guide for common parts/fluids/bulbs for the T1 HD trucks.  I'll try to keep it updated if anything changes.  If a mod wants to sticky it,

I can not believe that the diesel tanks are 28 gallons for a long bed dually? wow why not the larger tank? I guess those aftermarket tank companies will be making some money.

 

In the dually, only the reg cab has the 28. Crew dually and double dually get the 36.

Perhaps because the def tank how has to live by the fuel tank, since it isn't under the passenger door anymore. 

 

Fuel tank size seems to be impacted by both cab length and box length as well as presence of def tank.

 

Perhaps someone at GM likely figured out that most long distance duallys ran with either double or crew cab -- and both of those have 36 gallon?

Highest tow capacity is the reg cab dually -- are they used more for 'local' work with infrequent longer trips? 

 

I'm sure there are some that will want to have reg cab and tow long distances that will add additional fuel capacity -- but some would do that even if they were all 36 gallon (or more).

OP, good info.  Thanks

Any interest or possibility of adding some torque values for things like differential covers, drain/fill plugs, transfer case drain/fill plugs, oil pan plug, transmission pan, etc.  I think many, inclulding myself, would love to see them.

 

Thanks

I think torque values would be helpful.

Curious question, i tried switching my lights to led, when i swapped the bulbs. I have h9 and h11 bulbs. Not 9005. Anyone else have that? Or is mine a special case? Dealerships were not much help

SO i  know you can swap the lamps and my LT does have Halogens however there might be some differences as I ran into a guy with a Diesel LT who had LEDs . Supposedly bought new no mods.

 

Would need to confirm on this

On my 2020 2500hd LT, the high beam lights are an H9. Not a 9005. 9005 plug is different and wouldn't plug in. And my Brother-in-law's 2021 is the same way.

Front Axle 9.25"

  • Axle Lubricant: 75w85 Synthetic High Efficiency Lubricant, 10-4091 / 19300457
  • Capacity: 1.9 Quarts

Rear Axle 11.5"

  • Axle Lubricant:75w90 Synthetic Lubricant, 10-4016 / 88900401

Rear Axle 12.0"

  • Axle Lubricant:75w90 Synthetic Lubricant, 10-4016 / 88900401
  • Capacity: 3.17 Quarts

 

Is there a visible difference between the 2? Or is 1 axle spec'd w/ gassers & the other diesels?

Pic is from my 2024 2500HD w/ the 6.6L gas motor, 14 bolts holding the cover. 

 

Also the 2024 owners manual doesnt specify an axle lube (see your dealer). I have 3 qts of of this

20241021_134059.jpg.3f2c1b06147acbb86ce353e0bd80b30a.jpg

that was the rear axle lube for my 2017 2500HD w/ the 6 L motor. Is this usable for the 2024? If not what is the current lube? PN maybe be different as it's from GM of Canada (different bilingual English/French & metric 946 ml labelling).

Both axles use the same cover so no easy way to tell.

 

That fluid is an older number and does appear to be a Canadian number, but the right stuff.

      BAK MX4 EZ-Lift Install and Review

      By parthery · Posted

      I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.     NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.     I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:     And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:     Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.     The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Same here, first I bought a few filters to get me going right after I bought my truck to do some short distance initial oil changes, then realized I could buy a case lot for less as they drop the price if filters or trans oil etc is bought by the un opened case lot as well as the discount for buying the vehicle there. So I have filters for a while but its good to know going forward, knowing to expect it to be a different part number and looking filter at the dealer and not be confused over it and think they are handing me the wrong part.
