I'm not sure if my tranny isn't locking up or if its somethin else. When i'm driving, i'm giving it gas and it feels as if the tranny is going into neutral. The rpms increase but I go nowhere. It's not doing it all the time but most of the time. I let off the gas and slow down and then I can go gain or play with the gear selesctor, that seems to work sometimes. I noticed it that it also did it in the driveway in drive but in first, it almost didn't want to go up it.

Have you checked the fluid level? I agree, take it to a tranny shop, and have them scan it for code's. I thought my tranny was toast, and it turned out to be the throttle position sensor. Good luck.

I live in a small town and the nearest tranny ship is an hour away, and I don't wanna get stranded on the highway in the snow. I checked the tranny fluid first and it was fine. I have a snap on scanner i'll hook that up and see what that tells me, not that I nknow how to use it very well.

Well I called the converter builder, and he said that theres too much rpm difference for it to be the converter. So I called the tranny builder and he says that it sounds like the clutches or the pump is going?

I brought the tranny down to the tranny shop and as usual bad news. It was a mess, He said that the input planitary was damaged from a failed thrust washer, pump damaged from metal shavings, forward clutch snap ring was rubbing on the 3-4 apply leg the 3-4 accumulator is missing the piston and spring, 2-4 servo 4th apply piston is in backwards and the seal cut. That with all the metal shavings my converter is contaminated and with that contamination I have to replace my radiator cause that shit went through the cooler. Its about 6 months past the 1 year warranty and has about 10000 kms on it. I hope the owner of the tranny shop does something about this as my guy said that this was caused buy a bad build and it looks like there was no lock up. I did call him when it went in about not having a full 4th gear, my rpms were about 400 - 800 higher than normal. I think he said it was the pnp switch causing the problem so I replaces it and still no change so I left it as is.

      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.
