I thought the Air box was bigger also but I don't think that is the case.

 

Funny how First thing I do when I buy a truck that is a Z71 I remove the sticker, You can put a sticker on anything.

 

Is there a VIN Number that denotes Z71?

I thought if you put those flame stickers on, you get that extra 10 horsepower...or was it those stupid japaneese symbols...... :cheers:

When I sold my truck they told me it wasn't a Z71 because the stickers weren't on it.

 

I said well you can put the stickers on any vehicle... I asked if I put a NOS sticker on the back if they would give me a extra 2k bucks because it had NOS..

 

They shutup

The Infamous G80 Locking Diff, what a treat, mine kinda sorta worked for the first 20K miles or so, the problem is if you get this option then you can't put a real locker in without changing the carrier, so now I'm looking for an open carrier so that I can put a real locker back there. Save your money and pass on the G80.

I have always wanted to see chevy really take the Z71 to the next step...In my opinion it shoudl be a limited package that includes

 

3" lift/level

off road tires

after market exhaust

skids

step ups

sticker

clearance lamps

4.10 only

shocks

sweet interior

 

i think if they did that they would gain buyers who just want a big and bad truck just for looks but not for use which is what the average GM buyer would be interested....now keep in mind this package would run an extra 7-10,000 dollars in the end but it would be worht it!!

All trucks sit higher in the rear. They do so for carrying loads.

My 2002 YukonXL is auto-leveling (not Autoride).

If I put on Ford keys to level it out, will this screw up the auto-leveling shocks ?

      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.
