So do you have a dump insert? If so give some details, pros'cons etc..........also, who made it and cost etc.

 

I'm considering an aluminum because of the weight difference between it and the steel (400lbs vs 750lbs).

 

I've got a '02 2500HD, 6.0L 4.10 and do landscaping.

Thomas, I think you made a typo. I think you meant to type, "Do you have a dump insert?"

 

For those of you who still might be confused, a dump insert is what you see in some landscaper pickup trucks. Dump inserts sit in the bed of the truck and have an electric hoist that permits dumping of 1-2 yards of landscaping material.

Did you watch the show "Trucks" on Saturday 3/4/2006? They installed a kit to make the pickup bed become a dump bed. And it looked stock when done. I've seen the ones put on trucks with a hydraulic pump, and they look like crap, this one was concealed between the frame and looked great when done. It was run on an air pump so no hydraulics fluid to mess with. You would have to search for Trucks TV or go to the Spike TV web site for more details.

I second that motion. Saw the episode myself, if I were to do the dump thing I would seriously be looking into what the guy on "Trucks" installed.

SpikeTV's website sucks..........I went under the Trucks page and could see the schedule but you can't get info or anything.

 

I looked up the company and you call but they're be'n overwhelmed with calls from the show so I had to leave a name and #. The kit advertises lifting 4500lbs. Its just such a strange concept and the size of the airbag/volume just seems difficult to achieve that, must be one heck of a compressor. I do like the idea better than hydralic for maintance issues and plus your bed lines are lost with a hydralic because it raises your bed about 3".

 

Does anybody have more info on these? I would really like to know the price, hydralic you can get for $850ish so it would be interesting to see were the price is.

 

My main thing is I just want to know the price, drive to a distributor and see the thing in person/action.

 

BTW, my truck is for work as I am doing side jobs and starting my own landscape business......usually if it moves it's mak'n money, my other car is a '99 Civic SI :o).....yeah I know, Chevy guy AND a Honda guy??? haha

I have been checking these out for quite some time now. Most of the dealers have about the same kit. EzDumper only goes up to a 45deg angle i don't recommend an ez-dumper if you are working with sticky materials. The best I have found is at pathfindersnowplows.com it is in the neighborhood of 1600-1700 dollars plus shipping to your house. It dumps at a 60deg.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      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. 😉
