Ok, I have decided to order me a Wait 4 me tune in the morning. I am going to have to do something with this 6.0. It is sick, the tune will either wake it up or I will have to put it out of its misery.(Trade it off). What info do I need to have ready when I call? I get to keep my old one right? :cool:

Get it..... you won't regret it :shakehead: . I am going to send mine back to Jesse for some "tweaking" in the very near future and to soften the shifts up just a bit (It is a little too firm for the street while the truck is not loaded). If I pulled a trailer or had the bed loaded all the time, it would be perfect. I pulled a 6x12 loaded moving trailer and then had about 1000lbs another time and it shifted really nice.

Hey bluefenofeno, let me know how things go with the tune. I might do the same for my 6.0. By the way, I called the other day and he is about a week backlogged on the tunes.

I installed mine Friday night (11/18) and WOW, I have a new truck! It started fine, ran smooth, and when I got in to back it out of the driveway I tapped the gas like normal and laid two black pacthes about a foot in lenght without any effort.

 

The truck drives better, I get the throttle response I want, and the fuel mileage seems to be about 2 MPG better, and I have about 100 miles on the truck since putting it in, and just love it.

 

Yeah, it takes a while but it's worth the wait and money to get it done. I have the big grin :cheers: while driving my truck.

I installed my wait4me tune a few days ago and love , it's an inexpensive mod for a lot of get up and go, I can actually leave dual ten yard burn out marks from a stand still :cheers: . It did take a couple days and about 100 miles of aggressive driving for it to really come alive though, no regrets at all.

On a side note...

I saw you had a magnaflow muffler... how loud is it over stock and could you feel a difference in power? I am pretty sur ethat my factory muffler is restrictive but don't ewant anything real loud (interior noise) and would rather keep my factory tailpipe. Thanks!

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      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. 😉
