What is the warranty cover under corrison control. The reason I am asking is that from frame is rusting. Can anyone tell me what to do about it, does warranty cover it, or do I have to fix it my self.

 

Thanks

I believe it covers perferation and damage, not surface rust and scale, For about 20 years on my plow trucks I have sprayed the frames and under sides of truck with a paint spray gun and used 85w140 gear oil in the fall before season start and in spring afterwards and it real seem to eat the rust and protect it too because I have frames that are 25 years old that have very little rust and no real loss of metal and can still get my chassis bolts out if need be. A little extreme for some but it does work.

6 year 100,000 mile rust through on the body sheet metal only.

 

What I have done is to pressure wash the frame to remove all the dirt, and scale, then I will use Rust-Oleum "Hard Hat" spray paint on the frame rails. This takes care of the frame, and lasts a long time too.

 

I have never had any trouble with my truck's body. My '89 Silverado was 12 years old before rust started bubbling up in the cab corners. 12 years seems acceptable to me. Unless you really get into alot of salt, the factory galvanized finish works pretty well.

 

My wife's '97 Blazer gets washed out every time it gets into the salt. -Even if it is 20 degrees outside. So far it shows no signs of rust. :confused:

If the air blows in your face you might have a case. I have my vehicles undercoated which slows the onset of rust. There is no fix except to move south. The frames rust rather quickly, if not treated. Just go into the used lot at your dealer and peek under any GM truck and you know what I mean.. that wax dipping of theirs is as effective as a fart in strong side wind. If you do decide to treat it, do not forget those cross member tubes.

 

P.S. Make sure to instruct whoever steam cleans your engine to not clean the frame from above. That is one sure way of pealing all protection off of it.

You can't use it on the frame because it will take off the factory wax coating (Which isn't worth s*@t!) But for everything else underneath I use WD-40,spray it on and let it soak for a couple hours then wipe off the excess,been working for me for 15 years.

You must go through a lot of WD 40. I use gear oil in a spray gun twice a year on my plow truck and forget it and wipe nothing and it has a lot of staying power and does not wash off easily in cold weather either.

      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.
