I have a intermitting problem with my ABS light. It comes on sometimes, other times it doesn’t. Sometimes it just comes on for a few seconds, then goes away. Seems like a loose ground or wire? I have searched and saw something about a ground wire under the driver’s side door. I found a ground in this location with (2) separate wires… I guess this is the ground talked about.

 

Any other idea’s or things to check. I do think it’s something simple or loose. The problem stated after I drove down a real real bad washboard dirt road… I think it jarred something loose.

I agree with John (Draenor) that a wheel sensor may be malfunctioning...

 

Had this problem on my '02 Impala last year .. ABS light would come on occasionally for a while, and then it eventually got worse...., first the ABS light, then the trac control, and then all sorts of grinding noises....

 

and it was diagnosed as needing a new wheel sensor assembly due to some internal wiring connection, but mechanic had to hook up the diagnostic equipment and drive the car down the street to actually figure out what was wrong... because it was intermittant, you couldn't tell with the car just sitting in the shop....

interesting.... I have a "grinding sound" up front too... I know it not the pads because they are nearly new. I thought about changing the rotors....they seems smooth, but could be out of balance.

 

I didn't think these two issues were realted.. maybe they are?

How hard is it to change out front hubs on a 4WD truck? I have done it on a 2WD (very easy) but never on a 4wd. I am talking about just changing out the entire hub assembly.

I already had the hub problem a month ago, changed both. The current grinding sound is the front breaks, as it only happen when I hit the breaks right before it comes to a stop.

 

the grinding sound with the hub is contant

now after a few weeks of intermiting ABS light problem... the stays on at all times. Any ideas?

Have you checked the sensors? On my '98 Silverado the mounting surface below the sensor began to corrode, causing the sensor to lift. It only lifted like a millimeter, but enough that the sensors would have issues reading. I never had an ABS light go on, but I had issues at stopping speed where my ABS would go off (pulsating pedal). This was because my front sensors could not get a good reading, didn't match with the rear wheel speed, thus a time ABS should engage. I used a wire brush to clean up the mounting surfaces, worked like a charm! Before doing this I put in a paper towel to the hole to plug it up so debris wouldn't go inside it.

 

Was your ABS light coming on at slow speeds initially? Does your speedometer work correctly? Definitely sounds like a sensor problem. You could check the rear sensor (not sure where it is), make sure the wire and everything is in good condition.

      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.
