I did think about that same thing in advance. Hard to say.. but I would guess they tested this with both the silverado and sierra in advance. The rubber seal looks like it's flexible and can bend downward by a good .5 inch

 

Can some of you guys that have the Airaid now comment?

Zero benefit other than not having to replace a paper filter every 24K. Most dry oil filters actually let larger particulates in the engine....IMO these products are snake oil and the benefits are no

Installed an S&B tonight. Install was easy. The air box is a bit bigger than stock, rests pretty close to the headlight plug. Have the butt dyno scheduled for tomorrow:).       Sent from

I have this Airaid intake and I have no issues with my hood popping up or anything of the sort. Simple installation and step by step instructions included if needed. I only have about 100 miles on it so no real world number changes just yet but it really does wake the truck up.

 

Also the Volant does look just like the Afe in a way.. I know the Volant utilized a honey comb filter when the Afe has the standard traditional type filter.

no it wont push up on the hood, there is still a hood liner in place plus this seal is a soft rubber that is thin and sticks up only a 1/2".

Guys with the Airaid - how is the intake noise level? When you punch the gas.. I'm sure you can hear a difference. But what about just cruising on the highway ... is there anymore noise when compared to stock ?

These things dont really change noise when cruising. Mainly when you lay into it

No noise when you're just cruising along at a steady speed. During acceleration you hear it but it's not over powering or annoying. When you get into it tho, it comes alive and sounds great. Sounds like you're very skeptical of a aftermarket intake.. Which you're aloud to be. Don't expect it to double hp or anything.. Most power shows at a higher RPM but the torque curve improved thru out every gear. Seems to even shift a lil better and not as much. I would safely say a 7-10 hp gain at the wheels. Which is great considering these 5.3'a are hardly 300 to the wheels.. The 355/383 is at the flywheel not to the ground.

Wouldn't hurt to install a cat back exhaust now. Squeeze a lil more power out of that 5.3 then a tune to bring it all together.

So I put the Airaid intake on today. Fairly easy install, took about 45mins. I've only driven it about 50 miles with it on so I can't give any MPG info. It seems to have a tad more pickup. Throttle response from 0 seems the same. When your cruising and step on the gas you get a good sound and it really takes off. Driving around town it has a little more noise then I would like to hear. Especially going up step hills at a slow pace, its kinda of annoying. Im sure I'll get used to it, but I'm keeping the stock system just in case. I wonder if the volant would be quieter because its a sealed box design?

Has anyone got the volant kit. In there pics for the intake they show one with a standard cone filter and another they show with what appears to be the Donaldson's filter. But there is no options to pic the type of filter you want????? Or its just two pics with maybe a photo shop mishap?

The part number is 155536. So I guess it comes with it. Thanks.

Mine is 151536. So 15153 would be the standard.

So I ordered the Volant from the site listed above. My main concern is the sound. Maybe the Volant will be a little quieter. Should be here by the end of the week.

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      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.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      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.
