I was thinking about taking my mirror caps and door handles off sandng the texture off then having them painted to match my truck. How easy do y'all think it will be? And have any one tried this.

Your best bets are going to be to buy the "paint-to-match" versions from GM and have them painted or pick up a set of "take-offs" from ebay. Otherwise, you could probably do well with sanding the original mirror covers, but I think the door handles will be rough because of their shape. Here are the part numbers for the "paint-to-match" items:

 

Paint-to-match door handle LH 25890236

Paint-to-match door handle RH 25890235

 

Paint-to-match mirror cover LH 25788156

Paint-to-match mirror cover RH 25788157

Does any body have any suggestions for the kind of paint to use to paint the door handles and mirror caps

 

I'd suggest either taking your time and keeping an eye on eBay and the like or having them painted at a shop.

 

Also, here's a scaled down version of your signature picture as yours is entirely too large according to the site rules. :thumbs:

i have a crew cab, are the door handles above only for the front doors only?. if not do you have the numbers to the rear door handles? i assume the driver side door handle has a key hole,

 

for some reason the black "take offs" on ebay dont look too good..........

I bought mine off this forum for a great price. Unless you just feel like doing all that work, you could just buy some already painted.

Yes, the driver's side handle has a keyhole. Unfortunately, I don't have the part numbers for the rear doors. Sorry.

      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.
