alright (truck specs in signature) but i have 33x12.5x15lt tires

 

they pull in many cracks in the road and usually always fighting it, (lot of country roads out here). sometimes i cant even control the truck it pulls so much in a direction. i just had it aligned about 3 weeks ago.

 

so i was wondering about a steering stabilizer.

 

what is a good brand to get that isnt very expensive? im not offroading im usually just driving to school or work.

 

i only need a single, unless you think i need a double. i plan on getting 35x13.5x15 toyo open country's within the next 3-6months.

 

thanks.

You'll have that with any wide tire. It's the nature of it. You could put a stablizier bar on it but i've only seen two kits for IFS fronts and to me they didn't look like they would help. When you have a wide tire it will follow the road, try driving a Z06 on a wallowed out road. I'd make sure you have good shocks and good steering compnents that arn't worn out.

Steering stabilizer will help you to some degree, it will only help in sudden jerks on the front wheels like hitting a pot hole but with wide tires you will get that. A single might be good for your needs but a double is better but it will make your power steering pump work harder when making turns. I havent seen to many for a IFS but tons for a solid front axle.

Start by checking if you can run one with your 3" lift. Im guessing its a Rough Country. Ask them how much theres is. If they dont have one check with superlift.

installed tonight.

 

was a pain and the directions didnt help 1 bit. they sucked there was about 9 steps and skipped many important details. and there was 1 picture in black and white. and on the back of the instructions there was about 5 quotes from the bible, not kidding. lol. put it in, u- bolts were too long, so i had to space them up a little bit. idk it was a pain, if your in the market for a stabilizer check out something else than Skyjacker.

 

btw after all of that it does help ALOT!

      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.
