One of the service advisors I work with has an 05 Xb. Yesterday, his back window shattered out of the blue. Third time this year. Is that effin weird or what? I think there is way too much flex in the body, but at least he decided to get a new truck. Trying to convince him to get a GM. I'm hoping Jim might have some insight on this wndow thing.

I was behind a Ford Explorer on the interstate a month or so ago. The front passenger window blew out and shattered all over the road and several pieces got stuck in front of my truck.

 

I got back to work and told them about it and a girl that works with me said hers did the same thing in her driveway one day. Who knows!?

On cars built these days the windshiel is made if laminated glass so it won't ''explode'' and shower you with small pieces.The glass in the other windows is tempered and when it breaks it ''explodes''.Tempered glass is very strong on the face of it,but,the edges are weak.If there's something in the window track or pushes too hard on the edge and especially the corners it gonna go Wham! I've heard big pieces (4' X6' X1/2'') and that's a sound you never forget.... a shower of exploding glass isn't something anyone would like.Many times we would replace a peice of glass in an enclosure and the customer would say I was in the other room when I heard this loud ''pop''. Sometimes it's a matter of a bad tempering process....

There is obviously SOMETHING wrong with the glass mounting surface or the installation (or that pellet gun guy that Wing mentioned) That's not normal on any vehicle. That xB is a totally different vehicle than mine. The 08 - 09 models don't share so much as a lugnut. :mad:

Jeff, like em or not. You have to agree just the name "Scion XB" strikes fear in the hearts of mankind. :mad:

 

The "Scion XB" strikes me not in the heart, but in the belly.

 

Makes me hungry for toast. Or an English muffin.

      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.
