Jeff, this picture was taken on one of our cruises to Lake City. As for where the boat is normally, that would be Bayport.

 

 

Ahhh, the St Croix. :rolleyes: I am sure I have seen it many times then as I spend all summer on the St Croix. Usually between Hudson and Prescott and many days at Kinnikinnic.

 

Well that's awesome Jeff I'm out there quite often myself, what boat are you usually in out there? We used to go to kinni all the time until we upgraded from the 30 footer. GREAT BEACH! We currently go to catfish and high line through the St. Croix Yacht Club. The boats name is Carpe Diem in case you see One like us. There are only 2-3 466 MY's out there but there are a ton of 396 MY's to so that's how you will know it's us! If you see us give us a holler! My dad's name is Brad Btw.....Maybe well see you out there Jeff!

Carpe Diem, yep, I've seen that boat several times.

 

I'm still in a little boat (see above), but hoping to upgrade to a cruiser in the next few years. I spend most of my time in my floatie-chair with a cold one in the cupholder anyway. :cheers:

 

Ever go to any of Gary's partys? www.garysnextparty.com

 

Here is a pic from last year:

Can't say I have been to any of those parties, haven't been a kinni goer in awhile....sold the 30 footer back in 99 :rolleyes:. Yeah i think there is only one other carpe diem out there, Silverton of some sort....well anywho smaller runabouts are a great time! We had a 21 ft sea ray back in the early '90s and it was some of the best times of my life. But hey it's great to see someone else that enjoys the river as much as me! I know i wouldn't change growing up on the river for anything!

Garys river parties are usually in Hudson. He will be having another 4th of July "Red, White and Blues" one this year (see his website). Put it on your schedule, they are a great time. :rolleyes:

My roommate has a 25ft Sea Ray, and we go to this little party called Jobbie Nooner on Lake St. Clair. It's absolutely insane. Check out the website and you get an idea. You can also do a video search on it to see some rather interesting things.

You can see my boat in my signature pic.

 

With the gas prices last year only hit the St. Croix one weekend, hoping to do a few more trips this year.

and a Starcraft Starfish 24' pontoon boat with a 115hp merc o/b and a 9.9 merc 4 stroke kicker for trolling. It's got down riggers and all set for deep water ( up to 250' ) trolling. We also have a 55 lb Minn Kota electric troliin gmotor for pike fishing. We'll be heading to Charleston Lake in Ontario Canada soon for a week of fishing here .

The first couple pics are of my old boat. It was a 16' Checkmate with a 200 Merc on it. best it ran was 82 on GPS.

 

The next set is of my current boat. Its a 21' Mate. Not as fast but just as fun.

      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.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.
