I have the non-bose in my LT Trail Boss. I installed the GM Accessories Kicker system with the additional multichannel 32-bit DSP amp. I am thinking of going with the Infinity Kappa 20mx for the dash, 93ix for the front door, and 62ix for the rear door. Any serious modifications, as far as cutting door panels or depth issues for these speakers?

What is the output on the DSP amp? I am planning on upgrading the audio in mine but undecided on the exact direction to go with the DSP I would like to flatten out the factory signal.

200 watt to power the sub and 200 watt dsp to power the speakers.

I installed 93ix in the front door and 62ix in the rear but I used Excelon KFC-X2C in the dash.  I had to take care with lining the Kappas up in the Metra mounting brackets but it wasn't that difficult.

 

The Kappas use set screw mounts to attach the speaker wires so you'll need to either fabricate your own harnesses or buy ready-made ones and cut off then strip back the speaker-side ends.

I put these in the rear doors:  https://www.crutchfield.com/p_108K62IXM/Infinity-Kappa-62ix.html

and these in the front doors:  https://www.crutchfield.com/p_108R9633IM/Infinity-Reference-REF-9633ix.html

Finally these in the dash:  https://www.crutchfield.com/p_953PRX27/Memphis-Audio-PRX27.html

 

The doors were easier than the dash.  Crutchfield sent custom speaker install mounts and wiring harnesses.  For the dash speakers, you have to remove the entire top of the dash (one-piece) and cut the connectors and wire the speakers into the existing wiring.  IE - no wiring harness for dash speakers.  You'll need a 1/4 universal to get the bolts in and out on the dash speakers.  It's tight in there.

Do you happen to know the part # or what the mounting brackets are called? I just ordered the same speakers but not from Crutchfield because they're sold out. I was originally wanting to go with the newer Kappa 90CSX but I couldn't find out about the fitment. Any help would be appreciated. Also, are they alot better than the Bose?

      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.
