First off...

Thanks to everyone on this forum. I have been silently lurking for about a year and enjoying all the information that you all share.

 

I've ordered a new truck and it is scheduled to be delivered the first week of April. My father-in-law has a GM Card that he hasn't used it quite a while, but told me that he thought there was some GM earnings still on the card that I could use toward my truck. He says that he can give them to anyone he wants, but I'm unable to locate anything on the GM Card website that confirms that for me.

 

Can anyone confirm this for me? If the earnings are transferrable, can you advise on what needs to be done to transfer them? The wrinkle in all of this is that I have the card here in Michigan, but my In-law is in Arizona and won't be back until the middle of May.

Thanks for the reply, however, if you read my original post, I mentioned that I have already reviewed the GMCARD.COM website and found nothing that refers to transferring earnings.

 

If you are aware of a specific page on that website that provides this info, I'd love to have a page link to look up.

 

The main reason that I posted my question, is because their website has not been helpful. Is anyone else familiar with how to go about getting the earnings transferred?

my girlfriend let me use hers. I took the card in to the dealer when i bought my truck. The dealer called my girlfriend and took down her SS #, date of birth, and mothers maiden name. Then he called whatever GM phone number that needs to be called to set the account up to be transfered and told the guy on the phone all the info. Took about 10 minutes. So, basically...make sure when you buy the truck that your Dad can be gotten a hold of by the dealer and you should be fine. He will need to speak with him directly for the info he needs. Thats how i got mine transfered. Good luck.

If it can be taken care of with just a phone call, we can definitely make that work.

 

Thanks for the info and quick reply! :lol:

      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.
