Does anyone know of any sites that have information on the new generation of S-Series trucks? I saw a short story on PUTC saying they will be called "Colortado" the drawing looks great... maybe there is already something on here about them but i haven't seen anything yet... still getting my feet wet...

I am wondering that with the extra room for the new six cyl. engine that may take advatage and slip in a V-8 for a ZR2 model... now that would be something to see!

Here is a little preview.. :)

No V8 option.

Edgy look.

Can't give the whole thing away! :biggrin:

The ultimate rlease date will be dictated by when we can get the photo for publishing. Our goal is Tuesday the 10th.

hey mervz,

Any idea of when you might have the next gen s-series??  I am extremely anxious to get details.

the Colorado is schedualed for a 2003 model year introduction. So only one more model year of the "old" S-10.

I'm going to try to get that story up before the end of the week. We're having computer "problems" over here, so i can't get to my pictures of it.

Mervz,

Thanx for the quick response, i appreciate it.  I love my '96 sonoma 4x4, but I am ready for something a bit newer and I'll be dammed if I'm buying a ford or taco.  :)

Hope you get everything worked out and I can't wait to read the article.

Hey,

I made sure i bought my truck before it got a slap with the ulgy stick!  Its starting to get the avalanche look to it and i guess i m probably one of the only ones who dont like the look of it..

The new redesign is good it could use a few new engines, some size, some retooling.. but dont mess with what you've got for looks now..

I know VW wanted the colorado name.. and to be honest they have it..  The S-10 has been a good name for a long time..

Plus what sucks the most is what happens to the ZR2 and the xtreme models???you wont see any sharp looking xtreme or Z's with that new body style..

Oh well it will still be one of the most dependable trucks on the road.. CAUSE ITS A GM!!!!!

Steve

      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.
