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

[OldNH]

done this about 3 weeks ago.

Method beadgrips with BFgoodrich 35s no lift, and yes i had to trim my inner fender and a little off the front bumper on the inside of the wheel well.

Curious what size is that 35" tire (35x11.5, 35x12.5, 315/70R17)? Also interested in wheel size and offset.

Enjoyed it yesterday. Went by the river and got a couple of better pics while there lol.

Added some recreational gear and did some testing of said recreational gear!

First oil change today, 1700 miles, everything looked underneath and I’m happy it’s got fresh oil. The pan bolt gasket was interesting as it stuck to the pan and I almost missed it, I don’t see that one lasting a long time, pretty soft.
Side note, the OE filter was not the same size as PF66. The cup wrench I use slipped on the OE one but fit perfect on the PF66, I don’t know what that’s about but the OE said on the side label “replace with PF66”

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.

What did you use?

What did you use?

Plasti dip

I tried to use a wrap at first. But just couldn’t get it to fit with the tight corners. Plasti dip worked great.

I'm going to do this as well. Thanks!

I replaced the reverse lights with LED's. Holy shit what a difference when backing up at night!

which lights did you get? wanting to do this as well.
night time and 5% tint makes it a little hard ha.

I bought these, which were mentioned earlier in this thread. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081YJ7G81

I have the Lasfit LEDs in mine. They are insanely bright.

I just installed Gatorback mud flaps. You can remove the end cap on the mud flap and remove the actual flap section if you go off roading...

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.

Got this in the mail today.

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.
