I was wondering if anyone has installed a set of Husky mud flaps on their NBS? If so, what's your opinion? How do they look, and any pictures would be helpfull. :fume:

Nope, but check these out, I have them and love them.

They are nice. Do they give you enough clearance to clear curbs when backing into a parking space? Were they easy to install; any modifications? :confused:

You should check with your GM dealer. I got the GM molded style guards that fit perfectly to the contours of the body. The mounting holes are already in place so literally installed in minutes. Make sure they know it's for a NBS, not the same design/shape as the classic body.

I have the GMC molded splash guards, and not all the holes required to mount them were in the sheet metal. In fact, I think they had to drill all the holes to mount them.

The front ones use existing holes and the rear ones install with no-drill clamps (there are no pre-drilled holes in rear wheel well flanges). They are custom fit to the truck as well. They have several sizes, I chose the 12" x 20" for the front and the 12" x 23" for the rear. The rears hang low and may catch on taller curbs but I have not had mine hit yet. I wanted the longer ones for the rear to protect my boat. If they only need to protect the truck, the 12" x 20"s will work for front and rear. I thought the rears needed drilling when I ordered them so I had them installed, after seeing how they mounted I would have done it myself had I known. I paid about $125 for all four and $60 for install. I highly recommend them, they are much higher quality than the molded plastic POS.

Ok, a little off topic but how do all you guys get the pictures of your trucks on your posts. I have been trying all night and have only gotten it to show in my profile. I think its cool to see your trucks when you post. thanks! :)

Folks with the GM molded splash guards, do you notice the rear ones angle in some such that the logo isn't level with ground? Mine do this, and there's also a mounting tab on the underside that doesn't have anywhere to go (front one bolted in to body). I'm thinking these may have been the wrong ones, but unfortunately I can't find the invoice to see what part number they are.

 

Thanks!

      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.

      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. 😉
