Sometimes when pulling into or out of a tight parking spot, I hear a loud "moaning" sound from the tire area. The tires aren't rubbing and there is no clicking sound. Just an annoying whinning moaning sound. Anyone ever heard of this before? Please let me know. Thanks :rolleyes:

anytime the steering wheel is turned all the way to the end the

power steering pump will moan and groan. it's normal and not recommended

that you keep the wheel turned all the way for any length of time

hard on the pump.

When a PS pump is low on fluid it will make a groaning noise. You might check your level to make sure that's not it. If it is low, you may have a leak somewhere that you will need to find.

At about 20K miles on my '02 Silverado, I started hearing this groan while turning into or out of a parking space or other slow speed turns. It would happen when I would be turning the wheel fairly quickly. It continued to get worse to where it would happen every time... Took the truck in under warranty. They replaced the power steering pump and the sterring gear box (?). I would have to find the paper work to be sure, but they swapped some steering parts. This took care of the problem for a while.

 

Now at 31K miles, it is happening again. Same noise. Took it back to the dealer and they said that they could not reproduce it. I didn't have the time that day, but it will be going back soon and I will take the service mgr for a ride and demonstrate it for him. It's still under the original warranty and I do have the extended warranty, but I want them to fix it before I have to pay the $50 deductable on the ext. warranty.

The symptoms you describe are EXACTLY the problem I was having. The intermediate shaft lube stopped the 'knocking' but she was still moaning... The steering gear was replaced on warranty last week. Problem solved!

May or not be related - take it out of auto 4 wheel drive and put it into 2 wheel drive. Mine will moan and bump a little if left in auto 4 wheel drive and turning the wheels.

      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.
