I just installed an Injen cold air intake for my truck. Very easy to install open top but draws from the fender well. The difference in sound from stock to this is night and day when you get on it but it's not abnoxious. Dry filter no oiling and when I read their dyno test they had the highest gains I've seen and if you look closely it's around 90 degrees when they did the dyno. I have not dynoed it but I notice a huge difference in acceleration and response. Best part it was on sale for $240.

That looks good man. 240$ sounds good to me.

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 guess they made their deadline. I posted this about a month ago and their rep said it was about 6-8 weeks away.

Still waiting for a dryflow filter setup though.

Doesn't look like Airaid has released their MIT yet. That is the route I will be going as well.

10HP at 5250 RPM? I guess that's useful if you drag/race your truck. 99.9% of owners won't notice the difference.

That just peak power. Generally air intakes do increase power across the board as you can see in the graph. However, being in a heavy application its not going to be too too noticed. Do a few of these 10-12rwhp mods and it adds up and makes for a very noticeable difference for any driving condition. And I do like to put my foot thru the floor sometimes! :driving:

Yeah, that would be nice as well and mod the factory air box. I've done this route in the past. Cheaper too.

If someone would get the diameter of the throttle body, this would be easy to make up using the factory airbox which can be modded to accept more air. The factory airbox still has the mass air setup in it so you would need that diameter as well. All you need to come up with is a pipe that has 2 ports on it that would go to the factory valve cover breathers. I found a site that sells silicone couplers http://www.siliconeintakes.com/product_info.php?cPath=3&products_id=36&osCsid=9a7f6f5417eda38b64a21fba33bfb2b6 and it looks like this should be easy to mock up. I don't have my truck yet, most likely another 8 or 9 weeks yet but I am sure someone will figure this out before then.

My question to you all is do you notice any power gains either through dyno results or even just your seat-of-the-pants feeling?

 

My Sierra AT supposedly comes with a higher flow air cleaner than other models but I'm quite certain there is no discernible difference. And before I drop anyone's on a CAI I want to see/hear some real life tangible performance gains. I also would likely wait for K&N because they are really the industry standard for CAI kits regarding quality and fit.

I will Dyno before and after but it will be a a couple weeks before I get time to saddle up to a Dyno. I won't be going with K&N though if that's all you are interested in. I like a sealed air box that won't sound like it's going to suck small plains from the sky.

 

As far as your High Flow Air Box... I call dibs if you decide to get rid of it.

Yes there is a noticeable difference with adding the intake. I for one feel that it increased throttle response, and added some extra HP. Others have said that it really woke the truck up. I'm currently back to stock and can say stock seems a little sluggish compared to when the intake was on.

 

I have one for sale if anyone is interested..

Curious, why did you go back stock?

I also went back to stock.... All the CAI are too noisy for me. But all you guys tuning, changing exhaust , etc, etc.. would probably not care about this.

 

I ended up trying both the Airaid and Volant systems. They are both good... but I would probably prefer the Volant because the box it closed and it pulls air from 2 seperate locations.

Looking at @ a 2013 F150 FX4. My vibration issues haven't gone away, and dealer won't go any further in till I put back on stock tires. But I sold them already. So I'm not going to spend $800 just so they can tell me the vibration is still present.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
