How 'bout some pics of the T/A?!

 

 

LOL People aske me a lot about that too :rolleyes: It's my 2002 Firehawk. I'll get some pics posted of it soon.

 

 

Nice!--truck and car...Exactly how rare are the Firehawks? I know there aren't too many of those running around. Nothing like a factory 12 second car. I'd like a '92 Firehawk-they're rare too.

The Firehawks are the longest running niche vehicles in GM's history - 11yrs. In 2002 about 1501 were made and that's the largest amount made in any given year. My build number is 560.

Nice truck and awesome firehawk! I just got done shining up my 08 HD and my firehawk too! They are great cars and everyone asks about them. I have black 99 with a six speed and 30k original miles on it and i freakin love it! mine is #501 of 719.

Thanks! I've got 22k original miles on mine and it's #560 of 1501 (at least according to the latest production numbers on firehawk.org). Like you I get asked a lot about mine as well - just driving it around, getting gas, car cruises, etc. I'm going to try and get some good pics of it this weekend and post them up. Are you on the firehawk.org message board by any chance? A member of the Firehawk Owners Assoc?

Your truck really cleans up nice! Holy crap!

 

What tires do you have on there? Those look cool

Man it looks great. I like the tires. What size are they? And what rim width. My 07 HD came with 245 75 16 E Bridgestones which I will be happy to see wear out. Next tires will be BFG ATKO but I dont know if 265's will go an the stock 6.5" rims I have. Do you have any lift? The 07 with the 16" tires shows a lot of wheel well. I kind of like that but think the 265's will look better. M.R.

The tires are 285/75/16's on the stock 6.5" rims. I got rid of the stock 245's as soon as I bought the truck and put the 285's on. I have no lift on the truck at all - stock height and no trimming and no cranking of the t-bars. I have no rub at all even at full crank, but the 285's are the biggest I'd go on the stock rims since they are only 6.5" wide. 265's look good too but I think the 285's look the best on stock height trucks.

    • 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.  
    • 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.
    • 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.  
    • 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. 😉
