Tire Shop, Tpms, New Rims, I'm Pissed.

So, I got my 22's about 4 hours after I got my truck. The shop gave me massive credit on my stock 20's and another set of rims/tires I had. I ended up paying $268 out the door for my 22's after it was all finalized.

 

Here's where I am getting pissed off.

 

AFTER the deal was done and they were mounting the tires, the guy tells me my TPMS sensors won't work on the new rims. Says I have to get new ones for about $200/set. Also, my 22's need hub-centric rings because the opening is MF'ing huge, but they don't have them.

 

Of course, after I come on here, I find out that all I needed to re-use my sensors was 4 new stems. So instead of paying $30 for new one-time stems, I have to pay $200+. I already have to buy new sensors for when I get my winter rims, and I really don't want to have to do it twice over.

 

Now, I don't think he knew you could just replace the stems. They haven't seen a whole lot of new GM trucks/SUV's getting wheels yet. I'll give him that. The guy is a far man, and does right by me.

 

The stock 20's I traded were sold to the dude's bro, who has an older Silvy w/ no TPMS.

 

I'm thinking of calling him and telling him what the real deal is, and that I want my sensors back. Then I can have him order my HC-rings, get new stems, go in, have them installed on the 22's, and hit up the Dealershit to have 'em reprogrammed along with the new psi specs for the 22's so my TPMS works again.

 

What would YOU do? Same thing?

I'd spend the $200 and write it off as a learning experience.

To much of a hassle to get the sensors off the original wheels.

And of course, once they are off he will need to rebalance the wheels.

Sounds like he is a pretty good guy and I wouldn't put him to the trouble due to my mistake.

How do you figure it's MY mistake? One would think that a tire shop would be in the know about this sh*t. And he wouldn't have to rebalance anything but the stockers had he done it right the first time.

 

Slimjim2525, if I wanted to hear an @sshole talk, I'd fart. My truck IS a street-truck. Deal with it.

You asked for opinions, and he gave his. WTF is your problem dude?

 

Oh, and IMO, 22's don't belong on ANY truck, street truck or otherwise. They are butt-ugly. :cheers:

      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.
