Not to sure if it flows better or not. Maintenance free sounds good but everything gets dirty over time I'm sure you'll still have to clean it. Even if it claims 100k maintenance free I'll still clean it haha.

I live in a dusty area. So ill probably replace it yearly. Im almost at a year now. But so far it has been a great filter

Here is my yard. Filters don't usually last to their rating for us.

Yeah I'm moving to Scottsdale Az in April/may so I'm sure these filters will be filled with sand haha. Anywhere is better than here..

Until you mentioned it I would have never noticed lol. I will ask which aftermarket wheels do you have?

Unless you actually live in the desert there's no real issue with filters. Just check it often, especially after our summer dust storms or summer in general.

 

And I'm in Scottsdale as well, I'm sure you'll like it out here!

Corsa got back to me today about there intake for the 5.3L. They said that its in final development stages. It will be under the Volant brand name, no price at this time.

Look at that! I wish i would have seen this before I went and purchased the airaid. Although I did get the airaid for $371.00 so I grateful for that.

 

This was the email they sent me:

 

Anthony,

 

We appreciate your interest. Currently, we have not released the air intake kit for the 14â GM Trucks. We are finalizing development. The Air intake kits will be of the Volant Brand.

So I emailed them back with the above link. This was their answer.

 

Anthony,

 

 

 

Apparently, I was incorrect. I was not informed that the kit had been released. The information you have is correct. The kit is available.

That Volant looks the same as the Stage-2 Si Intake from AFE....closed up type.

 

But I just purchased the Airaid today... seemed like the consensus was this was best box so far for the 2014... hope I made the right choice.

    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
