well this may take awhile, but maybe your as bored as me. it all started tuesday, it was raining, it had been raining, and was going to keep raining, so some girl dicides we are all going to her house and are going muudin'. i was down for it so i started planning. saterday rolled around and i dicided it was time to finally replace my cv joint. i started at like six and didn't stop till 1a.m.., luckily a cold front blew in so i was freezin by then. when sunday came, my truck was still on blocks, but after several more hours, i finished, and was happy to find the popping was gone. but that morning i got a call and found out that the girl had "forgot" to ask her parents, so we wernt going there and instead were headed to a buddy of mines. fine with me. so me and friend jumped in my truck and headed out. while on the way, i could here a horible whaling noise from the wheel i had been woking on. we couldn't figure it out, then it hit me, i pulled over, climbed out with some pliars and pulled the disk guard off the brake disk and the noise went away. on our way there, we got a call that said our friend and his bronco were headed home, that sucked but o well. 10 minutes later we get a call saying my friends z71 is stuck and he need some help. this is what we show up to find...

after alot of work and about 2 hours. we got him out. then they get a call from thier dad saying he didnt know we were taking the trucks and how angry he was and that he's headed there now. so we scramble to pack up and head out. we finish and they tell us to go while they finsh loading the trailer. we get off the property and get a few miles down the road when we see an f-250 pass by(his dad) we call them up and found out they didnt make it out in time. they got chewed out pretty good.

 

then i get home and my buddy heads out, i get 10 minutes of rest then another friend calls and asks if i can help them get unstuck. i think"sure, it'll only take a minute", after 20 minutes trying to find the place, i show up to find this....

he tried to cross the creek and didn't have a chance in hell. :D

after 20mins. of tuggin, i relized this might take awhile... all i managed to do is get him parralel with the creek. so we called in help in the form of a bronco on tsl's, he tried to pull and was unsuccessful. so we decided to hook up and pull together. i hooked on to the front of the bronco, and we both put the hammer down. the jeep almost rolled over on to its side, they said the side tires were 6 ft in the air before it finally turned and came out. these are the pics of us about to leave(4 hours after i arived), i went home and slept, sadly the rain washed all my war paint off. :D

Probobly mildly drunk and thinking 4 wheel drive will go thru a swamp :D

 

Just gotta know how to mud I guess, I took my old Ford (2wd) thru some rough s**t, only got it stuck once in a corn field after harvest. It was usually caked. Good pics tho, truck looks mean as hell. Before I got my 03, I was debateing wether or not to get a Z71 and get 4" susp lift and some 33's or just get a small full size like I have now and make it quick. I live in a redneck town :D all 2000 ppl of it :D:D

How drunk was the guy in the cherokee, i mean come on

 

 

 

 

it was his first time muddin it, i guess nobody told him that your bumper has to clear the cliff if your gonna have any chance of making it. and he broke rule #1 of creek crossin, "dont hit it head on, take it at an angle if possble."(even my mom knows that) and stock tires aren't the best mudders.

      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

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      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. 😉
