Please see my post in the thread below:

Simply put, this is by far THE BEST product you can buy for your truck...gives you the "solid" feel at the wheel you should have and eliminates ALL of the dreaded "steering clunk" that everyone is running to the Dealership to get cured with either a so-called "updated" shaft, or by getting a grease job that lasts a few thousand miles or so.

 

At @ 260 shipped I think it's a small price to pay for the results you get.

If it is, then you maybe my favorite new member here. :cheers:

Great find.

 

 

 

 

 

Someone likes me :P

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, it is exactly the same blinking shaft that I just ordered yesterday for 203.00 with their now famous 15% off deal. It never fails. I could be the only person on a deserted island and still get screwed by someone a million miles away.

Good find though! :D:thumbs:

How hard is it to install. I might just do it when I get new headers, thats after I pay for the truck though.

The install was not hard at all, you just need to make sure that before you tighten everything down that the steering wheel is turned correctly. The shaft is so much thicker, a little persuasion might be necessary compared to the orginal shaft. Total time was about 30 minutes. There are instructions on this website concerning the install under the how to section. The difference in the two shafts is like night and day. :)

I just finished my install on this steering shaft. I agree with mtallon....not to hard to do. Make sure you slide the new shaft in and out a few times to make it slide when you get it in. It is so much bigger than the stock one......taking the stock one out makes you see why there is a clunk........it is pretty wobbly. I bought this truck used but you could tell the dealer had greased it before.

 

It wasn't cheap for me though getting it to Alberta.........to my door it cost $310.00c. That's the shaft, shipping, customs and brokerage fee. Mind you if they would ship other than ripoff UPS it probably would be cheaper. I bought direct from Borgson though to. Oh well if it works then I feel it is worth the cost.....that shake and clunk drove me crazy!

      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.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.
