I had the same issue on my 2019 LD. This "repair" is what my dealer did and it fixed mine. No clunk now. I am concerned they seem to have removed the rear spring clip. Otherwise I'm happy.

I had posted at a different forum page on GM-Trucks.com about my install of an Airaid 200-985 Modular Intake tube and a JLT Performance catch can and after reading some posts here thought my post may be useful to others. The install was several thousand miles ago but all continues good. Amazing how much oil is collected in the catch can. Here's the URL to my thread from back in September:

Hi Jake, Thanks for the info. I probably should take a look at the can reservoir real soon. I need to get a feel for how often I need to empty it. Cheers, Selo

Recently installed the Airaid 200-985 Modular Intake tube and a JLT Performance catch can. My truck is a 2019 5.3L LD. I am posting here because it is pretty much identical to the 2018. The 2019 mods forum is all about the new body style and engine bay. For the record I did not install the intake tube because I expected big gains in power or mileage, but because I like the way it looks and sounds. Installed one on my 2010 4.8L and really liked it. I did enjoy seeing a dyno test on American Trucks YouTube channel which showed a 28 hp gain between 3-3500 rpm. The tube is a piece of cake (POC) to install and comes with factory OEM type connectors where the hoses connect to the valve covers. BTW the hoses are pre-cut so POC. I installed a catch can because it seems like a good idea. I read all the pros and cons and looked at several manufacturers. I chose the JLT catch can because I like where it mounts, the mounting hardware, and that it comes with pre-cut hoses and OEM style fittings where hoses connect to the engine. The fittings at the can are installed by JLT. Lastly, I like the way it looks. Takes minutes to install. I have not checked the catch can yet as have only had it installed about 1500 miles. As far as the intake, it seems to have more power when accelerating. Might be all in my head, but hey, perception is reality! I drive on the interstate a lot and for distances of several 100 miles at a clip. I have 12K on the truck and have never gotten the average fuel use reading below 20.2 mpg. After the intake install it went to 20.3 on the first interstate trip. Not much but it certainly does not get less mileage. I highly recommend the Airaid 200-985 intake and the JLT Catch can 3085D.

The look ain't me, but it is wicked looking nonetheless. Cheers, JS

Hi Guys, I am impressed with some of your projects and your expertise. I am not so comfortable figuring out how wires should be installed and really appreciate step-by-step instructions at the level of a 6th grader. I recently upgraded my 2019 Silverado 1500 LD mirrors to towing mirrors with turn signals. Got it done because of the help of Mr. Gamboa's harness and instructions. Highly recommended. I would like to add a 30 inch LED light bar to the front of my truck. I would like to use the GM 23145158 switch bank (stolen picture attached). Currently my stock switch bank has only "traction control" & "cargo lights." I do not want to re-label the AUX switches, just want to wire a LED relayed wiring harness to AUX 1 to operate the LED bar. I would appreciate hearing from you if you can get down to my level. Selo

Ryan, You are correct. I should have said of the "documented cases" the mortality rates are 0.1% for the flu and 3.4% for coronavirus. Keep in mind the documented worldwide cases are today 162,577 infected and 6069 deaths (3.7% mortality). On Feb, 15th these numbers were 69197 and 1669 (2.4% mortality). As you suggest there are lots of people with mild cases, but many not yet tested will have severe cases too. Older persons are more at risk, but there are young among the deaths as well. The issue is the virus is so contagious and so relatively deadly that way too many people are going to be seriously ill in a short time period and need care from completely overwhelmed hospitals. This is why so much discussion today from the CDC is about flattening the curve. Steps to flatten the curve are what states and the Feds are doing now, shutting down places with a higher likelihood of transmission. Exactly what I am doing by avoiding the same. Regardless, I appreciated your comments.

The flu has a mortality rate of 0.1% The coronavirus is more contagious and has a mortality rate of 3.4%. That's thirty-four times the mortality rate of the flu. In addition and particularly for those older, severe cases have no treatment. It is nice at this stage to be smug and make invalid comparisons, talk conspiracies, talk politics etc etc etc, but you best get ready. This is just getting started in the US. We ain't seen nothing yet.
