Silver Birch


Recommended Posts

Posted

Unforutantley I was unable to secure a new 08 as there seemingly are none left (ext 4x4) in a 4 state radius. The 09 rebates also suck so that is out to the question and I am looking to go used. Most of the ones I found within a reasonable distance were silver birch. I have only see this color in person once that I remember and am trying to find some pics online and opinions. So let me see them and let me know what you think of the color. I can't decide if I like it or not.

I like the color ok. It seems to be popular, just not for me. I say if you have any doubt, keep looking. Too big of investment, and I personally keep my trucks too long to not like the color.

 

I bought my truck certified used, I had to search for a long time before I found one with just the set up I wanted, but I decided that I would rather keep driving what I had rather than settling.

 

Let us know when you get one and post lots of pics.

I have the two-tone paint on mine. Dark charcol grey on top and silver birch on the bottom. I think it looks great and have had many people say the same thing.

Here is my 08 Silver Birch Tahoe

 

I like the color very much. Much easier to keep it clean than my dark blue silverado

Not sure where you are but here is my old 06, I traded it in for an 08. It only has 12,000 miles on it. It's a great running truck with some serious stereo upgrades still in it :sigh:

 

Here is a link to it

mine is an 07 silver birch, wanted white but didn't find what I wanted in white and found this one, now it has grown on me and I really like the color better than plain white.

It's a very very popular color. If you like being seen everywhere it's OK. Looks like silver that somebody spilled a drop or two of brown in. Not a bad color... just too vanilla for my tastes.

Silver Birch was my first choice....unfortunately I was unable to get it in an '08 for the same reason you couldn't....08 rebates rock, 09 rebates suck so there were literally NO trucks in a 100 mile radius that had what I wanted (and thats a LONG way in Texas where trucks are everywhere).

 

If I could have, I would have gotten an 08 in Silver Birch. It's very classy.

    • 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. 😉
