OP you cant add the 4.10 gears without tuning, the ECM/TCM has to be tuned for the new gears. If you dont the truck wont shift right, thats not even taking into account the ABS system which cant be programmed by the aftermarket industry.

So if you want front and rear 4.10's then you are going to need to budget in a custom tune as well.

Guess its cheaper to trade in for a 6.2 and 10speed lol
I would of liked to have the 10speed with my 5.3 but for now Iam happy with the 8speed. I know I will loose mpg when I upgrade to 62lb mastercraft 295x70r18 but others are running 70+lb tires; which gives me hope. My buddies at4 5.3 with 33” toyo mt are 74lbs and 12.7 wide is averaging 13.5mpg. I think I can do better lol

That was my worry, not worth it then.

That'll be a very tight fit but some guys get away with it.  I might have 1/4" of room between my tires and mud flap with my 285/70's with a 2" level.  At 125km/hr (75mph) I average 14mpg.

6.2l/10 speed at4 here. With 20x10s and 35x12.5 tires, 4” bds lift (6” total) and a corsa cat back I’m getting 12 mpg with mixed driving. I can get slightly better if it’s all highway and I’m watching the throttle, maybe 14, but any hills will kill that. I didn’t buy this truck for great mpg, but damn a bigger tank would’ve been nice lol.

Agreed, it’s still 7-10k CAD to delete the l5P around here. I can understand the cost for the new/unlocked PCM but I can’t understand why it’s another $500 for the credits. Not to mention the custom tuning. I got quoted $2700 before any tuning is done. 

The high costs are due to the relative risk they run due to how illegal it is. The government is coming down pretty hard on tuning shops that defeat the emissions equipment.

      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.
