What have you done to your Silverado ZR2 this week? 🛠️

[LSnTX]

Do you mean PF63? The PF 66 is not the correct filter. That has been corrected and should be the PF63. The PF63 has more holes and flows better, I think it's longer too. Search around and you'll see plenty of information on that screw up on other forums. I posted about it here av while back.

Those filters have variable tolerances and the cap wrenches aren't much better. The PF63 filter was recently redesigned as I mentioned in my recent oil filter thread. Not sure if the outer dimensions changed a bit or not.

I would.use a metal band wrench or even a filter pliers. There is plenty of room to work the wrench and it's more reliable.

Just firmly hand tighten the new filter and it won't take much effort to loosen it later.

No my book says PF66, but your notes I will do a search on and read up. I remember the HDs had a change, but not the 1500s. I plan on changing it at 5K so I’ll get new filter by then.
Thanks

I guess it might have only been in the 2500HD manual and the info dealers have are the ones that are wrong also. May want to ask a service advisor, but mine had a PF63 from the factory.

I just looked at a PF66 and PF63 filter today at Walmart. Not even sure they are interchangeable now. They threads are definitely different diameter on these two. I see they are both the new design that I just noticed a few weeks ago. They both have the same number of holes, so the flow issue at start up wouldn't matter now, but you lose 30% of filter capacity.

I use the filter pliers and the work way better than the ring...

Just got mine today

UPS decided to be like FedEx and delay mine. It was supposed to be here today. Now it says tomorrow. Tomorrow it will probably say delayed due to weather since the hurricane hits this afternoon.

Yeah mine said the label was created but they had not received the product yet for like 3 days

Put on a Diamondback SE bed cover. Really love it. Strong, can hold hundreds of pounds on top when needed, and has strong water resistance.

I had one on my Gladiator and it was my favorite mod.

Great cover...I'm just not a fan of the look and like covers to have a low profile.

Looks pretty much like what I rock on mine.

BAK MX4

Mine was a Rev I got from GM due to a 20% discount. But I thought I read somewhere that BAK makes those maybe. Can't recall for sure.

Today I installed the Kicker sub. It sounds a whole lot better now. I flipped up all the dip switches. The control knob wont be here til possibly tomorrow. I am not sure Ill even need the knob though as it sounds pretty damn good without it.

Tomorrow....all around tint

That kicker setup from GM is underrated. I had it in my trail boss and my high country. I planned on getting that but I’ve decided to with the JL Stealth Box with 2- 12in subs.

Makes sense. The covers that sit flat limit the cargo more than I’d like.

Here is a video walking through all the stuff I have setup in my ZR2 bed.

Added the vinyl stickers to the back of the cowl. What a difference it makes. Too bad it doesnt cover the middle though lol

Even though I am thinking of getting different tires, I went ahead and made sure balancing was good, rotated and checked alignment. This is the before and after. Alignment wasnt too far out to begin with. Granted now it has a drift to the left since the alignment.

Most places have a warranty on alignments. May want to have them tweak it.

I did take it back and they put it back in and checked it again and it still came up within spec. They said maybe a tire so I swapped left and right before picking up my son from work. No change after doing that. Wondering if my steering is just touchy and I didn’t notice it til after the alignment when I was looking for anything to be wrong lol

Doing an alignment is a bit of an art form, partly following specs and partly feel for the equipment. I've had a couple of shitty alignments that had to be fixed by someone else. If there is a shop with a technician that will drive it and adjust it based upon how it's driving, that's the best you can get. Most don't even test drive it. Maybe there's worn or damaged parts.
