All New Inside With Katzkin Skinsssssssss


Recommended Posts

Posted

First off, a big THANK YOU to Mazz/Dave for all the help and guidance. I went with black with orange inserts with orange threading. It took me about 6 or 8 hours to remove and replace the skins. The center console was kinda of bitch thou lol.Big difference in the inside now from the gray seating i had before. I've also finished the rear doors with inserts and repainting some of the door panels black. Also the fuse boxes, the instrument panel cover above as well. I plan on doing the front dash piece that has the central vent in black on top, and do a orange cover for the central air vent. Also finally debadged completely but i'll take some pics over the weekend on that. I also repainted and mounted a fire extinguisher for a little extra touch of color in back on the floor. I have a guy going to computer cut out of wood "Tangerine Dream" in the same font on the tailgate and mount it to the front of the subbox in orange. I have to clean the truck inside/out for a car show my club is throwing sunday to raise money for women's cancer. First car show of the year! Now on to the pics! Enjoy. :lol:

:lol: You have a "one-of-a-kind" truck to be proud of.... :P

Look great! The matching extinguisher with the matching stripes is a nice touch! :lol:

 

Have you not added the DIC yet? You really ought to. :P

Wow, now THAT is how you make a "show truck". Umberto should take lessons from you. :P

 

I'd say that is way cooler than a Line-X'ed jungle gym and airbrushed plastic engine shrouds. :P

 

Sorry Umberto, no offense but this is how it's done.

 

Nice job! :lol:

That looks BAD ASS!

 

You have my ultimate respect. You make your truck yours and don't give a crap if it's like anybody else's.

 

VERY COOL! :lol:

You're a little slow tonight, you might want to have a doctor check you out. You could have some sort of flu or something. :P

I just noticed that's a Ft. Wayne, Indiana truck! :lol:

 

Nice! Although, you could probably remove the Indiana state and red dot sticker. :P

I was in Fort Wayne a number of years back and headed up into the northern part of the state. Are the Amish still hanging out up there like they were? That part of the country was really nice.

    • 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. 😉
    • 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.
