I've been doing some wheelin' and dealin' the past couple of days on some parts that I've been researching for a while. Got hooked up with:

 

Outlaw Power intake with both oiled and dry filter elements and both intake tubes with and without the boost bottle

 

Gibson SuperFlow 30"X8" diameter/ 3"in 3" single out Stainless Steel Muffler

 

Diablosport Predator (my 2nd one, previous unit lost while moving)

 

All to my door for $422.50. I'm already talking with Johan at Diablosport to receive several custom tunes to try out that incorporate the better flow as a plethora of other parameters.

Let me know what you think of the Outlaw, I'm looking into that as well. Why did you go with the Diablo instead of getting your PCM tuned by werster or whatever?

havent received the outlaw sys yet so its review is tba...

 

reasons i chose predator over replacement pcm:

 

diagnostic/realtime data monitoring

DTC removal/reading

unlimited free custom tuning from diablosport tuners via email

no swapping pcm's for every change i want therefore no shipping cost for changes

How the heck did you get the Intake, the Muffler AND the Predator ALL for $422???? That seems too good to be true. Did you get it at cost? Or did it fall off a truck? :confused:

muffler and predator both new from ebay, about 75% off retail price. outlaw gave me $75 off because they offer a discount the ford truck enthusiast website (offer expired November). i belong there to keep up with the competitors vehicles.

I guess my biggest question would be, do you get the same benefits as far as all around performance? Does anyone or has anyone had both? It would be nice to know before I go and spend the money.

I have the diablo predator and love it. It comes with two tunes on it, you can read trouble codes, clear trouble codes. You can even read and clear trouble codes on other peoples trucks. Performance is great. Wish I got it a lot sooner.

PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE THE POWER OF THE PREDATOR!

 

Yes it comes with two cookie cutter tunes that aren't bad in thier own rite, but everyone listen to me when i say this.

 

YOU HAVE UNLIMITED CUSTOM TUNES AVAILABLE THROUGH EMAIL BY A PROFESSIONAL DIABLOSPORT TUNER

 

If you have this handheld and are running one of the tunes that came on the unit, you're wasting your money and using about 15% of this tool's potential. You can have a custom pcm tune for any modification or any desired set of parameters you want done professionally, no pcm swaps, no shipping fees back and forth.

 

The customs done by diablosport tuners blow away the pre-installed programs.

That does make sense now that you explained that to me.. When ever you add on or take off you can have them email you the right type of tune you are wanting.. Cool, thanks for the heads up.

      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. 😉
