So far I have husky floor liners, american eagle 8.5" x 20" wheels, cooper ATR 275-55-20 tires, stainless step bars, carriage works billet grill, 2" leveling kit, tinted front side windows. Still need a tonnea cover, haven't decided what brand I should get yet. I think my next tires will be 275-60-20 to give a little taller sidewall but I got a deal on these.

Nice Truck!

I don't know if I would go with a taller sidewall. 275-55 R20 is a good size for a 20" wheel and it looks in proportion.

Nice wheels!!! But I would have went with blackwall tires or had them mounted with the letters inward. How much were the wheels?

 

Nice grill too!!!

 

PS Where is the VortecMAX badge? :shakehead:

Thanks, the wheels and tires were $1300, I got a package deal supposedly.

Truck looks great! I like the color too. You might want to tidy up that garage though.

 

haha that garage is cleaner than my kitchen sink (not kidding)! But seriously, nice truck. I agree though, that the white lettering on the outside is my only gripe...

You know, I actually like that, because you rarely ever see larger sized wheels with anything but blackwalls, and on this truck, it is very fitting. I really like it, and if anything else, it at least makes it something unique.

Thanks caddycruiser, I've always preferred the white letters out, but thats just my preference, to each his own, that's what makes us all unique!

Ahhhhh Another Minnesotian!

 

Great looking truck,, it is a 6.0L isn't it. Been looking for a decent set of step bars, where did you get those?

 

Was going to say you have a really nice garage, till I saw that F7 sitting there :shakehead:

I've got almost the same truck but 2wd, I am looking at grilles and wheel/tire combos but I've already spent a boatload of money on this thing (stereo, line-x, westin chrome step-bars, magnaflow exhaust) and I don't know if I can hack another $300 for a good grille and $1000-1500 for good wheels/tires.

 

I don't even know how to shop for good wheels/tires.

 

I'd like a nice set of 18s or 20s, right now I've got the stock 17s and they look kind of ugly with the ridiculous p245/70r17s that GM puts on them. Not even LT tires.

      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.
