I thought about going that route with mine , but with all the Snow up here, i dont think it would be a good idea.

Where will that scoop be pulling air from exactly? I can see with the SS models where that could fit over the one of the rectangular ports where the fogs would go but not sure on a GMC

Where the right tow hook is. It actually uses the tow hook bolt to mount

It can come from the brake duct on an SS because they dont have fog lights eventhough the interior is from an LT

Sweet, well make sure you write something up on how it changed for you performance wise if any, that Volant box looks nice! How much did you pay for it all with the new scoop also?

I got everything on Amazon. I am a Prime member so shipping is cheap as hell.

 

The CAI with the Donaldson Powercore filter was $252.08 Sales tax was $18.91 2 day shipping FREE

GMT-800 P/N 15153 for the kit with oiled filter 151536 for the kit with Donaldson filter

 

The Scoop was $97.79 Sales tax was $8.00 and $8.99 for overnight shipping with Saturday delivery

Scoop P/N 35853. This applies to 99-06 1500 Silverado/Sierra/Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban/Avalanche.

SS P/N 35960 For those who want to put the SS bumper cover on

 

Well with the Corsa Sport I did notice a power difference over the K&N 77 series intake. According to the butt dyno, the Volant feels like it has a little more low end power. My brother noticed this as well. it seems to pull harder at WOT. I got it because the CARB Exemption Executive Order number will cross reference to a Denali and SS which makes it legal for me having a 6.0 and it is a great looking system that will work with both a clutch fan and electric fans

Parked it and drove this

Back in the garage 6-10 inches of snow on the way :(

Cool, no electric fans on your truck?

 

Nope I got an 04. Last year of the clutch fan. Its on the list of things to do

tightened up the wheel spacers since its been a couple hundred miles, found some loose things on the front (before you judge thats normal for a new lift) tightened those up threw the wheels on.. damn thing is still pulling hard to the right even after the alignment and now have some shake on the steering wheel.. pretty unhappy this Sh*# will never end.

^^^^^

No big deal, easy fix.

 

Have the pitman/idler arms checked. They may be worn to the point that they were easy to ajust for alignment but the larger tires and lift caused more stress. That would explain the pull and steering shake after alignment. Most likely they are worn and can't hold alignment after the mods.

    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
