I've always added a CAI on my trucks but with this one I would really just like to add a new intake tube such as what AIRAID makes and keep my stock air box and continue to use the AC Delco filters. But I've searched the net high and low and it appears no one makes just the intake tube to replace the OEM one. I called airaid and the guy I talked to said he figured they would be making one for the new 6.2L. Which he wasn't much help I asked if he knew for sure and when they might start selling them and I really didn't get an answer from him. Airaid does have this set up now called U-Build-It:

No sure if it would work since the MAF has been changed on the 2010 I believe...I guess I'll half to make another call to them on it.So I wanted to see if anyone else knows if another company makes just the intake tube you can purchase. Or I might already know my answer which is NO since that's all I can find. Thanks for any help sent my way

You will have to let us know if you get that and how well it works, looks like it would to me.

Looks liek a cool idea. I wonder how much $ it will be. I have an '09 with the new style MAF too and would be interested in making a tube from the MAF to the throttle body witout all the factory baffles. Please let us know if you go with it and how it works (with pics!)

No typo, 2009, the MAF sensor is built into the tube. :rolleyes:

 

 

just looked at my 09, and the MAF, yes, it is built in, but it is in the same location as the 08..??

 

Can you think of a reason why the airraid engineers didnt make one for 09 and up,..or maybe they havent got there yet?

The only way that will work is with a little cutting. There are some people here that have cut the section out of the box and put it inline with their old intakes and say that it works fine, maybe someone will chime in with a picture but thats the 08- MAF.

im still toying with the idea of blocking off the resonating tubes on the stock one,..or seeing if I can find a junkyard one to hack up.

I was thinking about that too. It looks like the one on the bottom and the one toward the front near the radiator are baffles/resonators. I think the long piece going rear above the intake manifold is more for heating up the incoming air, but I could be wrong.

 

I know the MAF on the 09-10 models is very sensitive, so I am not sure if it will mess up the MAF like the Volant intake I had on it did.

 

Be sure to post if you do attempt this mod!

yes maff can be very sensitive! If it is not put in the same location it was on factory tune it can act up.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
