Installed the Airaid dry filter CAI yesterday. Fairly easy. Didn't disconnect battery cable and when I started it, engine light was on and fans running full speed. Shut down, disconnected battery for 5 mins, fired back up, everything fine. Sounds great. I can see my engine and work on it more easily. Looks cool. For me, power gains are probably placebo (I have a 600hp Camaro). but, it does sound really good. Cons: Overpriced for what it is (~$350), cost of filter replacements (not sure of the longevity of those). A little concerned about the open top. My engine gets dirty. Not sure how some of these trucks I see posted have spotless engine compartments. Happy overall. Haven't noticed any MPG increases yet (after ~60 miles). Dual exhaust next!

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

Best as in?

 

If you're looking for great filtering ability, Amsoil and AFE make a great dry filter with outstanding filtering ability.

 

If you're looking for air flow K&N or any other wet cotton gauze filter will suit you.

Probably all your gonna get is everybody's opinion so here's mine, I'm partial to K&N CAI and K&N drop ins also. Always had good performance and durability.

does anyone have the part# for the airaid MIT only, it looks to be the best option with the least modification and best price

MIT is not available for the 2014 yet. A couple users have purchased the 2013 MIT and modified the PCV connection locations to make it work (write up somewhere in here on this). I have ordered one myself and will do the same because I am with you on it being not only the best bang for the buck but the quite possibly the best bang for a CAI on a these trucks.

Let me know how it goes, I just figure if I pay for plug and play I should get it. I'll wait until they develop it for the '14 I guess.

Completely understood... I just get impatient. But I will post a write up when completed.

Just talked to Airaid, currently there is no plan to develop one(MIT) for the 14s. I stated, that was a shame as guys are waiting for it to come out. He asked for the forum, so maybe they get a prototype going soon. I would suggest more call and ask them as well.

That is why I got no response when I emailed them and asked if they had an ETA on MIT.

How good are the MIT? I know nothing about CAI except the basics. What makes them the best?

As far as being the best... I guess that is still subjective. What I like about them is the factory air box produces probably the coolest intake air compared to so called "CAI's" and it flows air very well, at least for stock/stock-ish motors. The only thing the MIT replaces is the tube between the intake and the factory air box, giving the air a smoother path to the motor and removing the current intake tube/box crap that is bigger and boxier than my first apartment.

 

Here is a test done by a very well respected tuner and supporting member of this forum that is a actually a good read.

Just bought the AFE Stage 2i today for the 5.3L. I'll let you guys know how the install goes.

 

I'm new to the forum, been lurking since I traded in my 2013 F150 Ecoboost (4x4 Offroad, solo mach-x exhaust, 3.55 gears, SSinc tuned, AFE stage 2 intake, and a mild polish on the TB)....on my 2014 Silverado 5.3L CrewCab 4x4.

 

Only mods so far are plastidipped front emblem, muffler delete and new tip. I'm loving the truck...I do miss the 93octane tuned power of the Ecoboost at times though.

I am also waiting for the MIT for 2014, Maybe I will contact them as well so they can see the volume of people that are interested.

Would be the thing to do. I talked to them the other day as well and they said they would add it to their lost revenues files.

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.

      That makes sense, and I agree with most of that.   I think the product would need both: 1. a default powertrain template, so it is useful out of the box; 2. user-selected priority parameters, so the owner or shop can choose what they want to see first.   Different users are going to care about different things. One owner may care about oil pressure and voltage. Another may care about misfire trend, AFM/DFM behavior, or U-codes. A shop may want communication events and repeatability first. Your baseline point is probably the most important one. Raw data is not very useful unless the report can show what normal looked like for that vehicle under similar conditions.   The way I would think about it is: - start with a basic known-good baseline - learn normal behavior for that specific vehicle over time - allow the event to be overlaid against baseline - show whether the event was a one-time spike or a repeatable pattern - provide a simple severity level, but with clear limits on what that severity means   For example, early severity could be something like: - Info: event captured, no obvious abnormal pattern - Watch: value moved outside baseline, but not repeated - Warning: repeatable abnormal pattern under similar conditions - Critical: communication loss, voltage drop, bus-off, reset, or severe repeated event   I would not want the first version to say “replace this part.” That would be overclaiming unless there is repair-confirmed data behind it. It would be more honest to say “this pattern deserves inspection.”   On the OBD port question, I think OBD absolutely has a role. OBD is probably the right place for: - DTCs - freeze frame - VIN - calibration information - normal scan-tool parameters - Mode 6 / enhanced diagnostic data if available The reason I am still looking at an ECM-side recorder is that the failure may happen before anyone connects a scan tool. If the owner plugs in a scanner after the event, the pre-event evidence may already be gone unless the ECU happened to save it. So I do not see this as “OBD versus ECM-side.” I see it more like: - ECM-side recorder: always armed, rolling buffer, event evidence - OBD/DLC companion: DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration, normal scan data - phone/cloud: status, notes, upload, report generation, notifications   I agree that phone connection and push notifications would be useful. I just would not want the phone or cloud connection to be required for capture. The recorder should save the event locally even if the phone is not connected. The phone should help with event marking, download, notes, upload, alerts, and report viewing.   For a default GM V8 event report, would this list make sense? - RPM - calculated load / MAP - throttle position - vehicle speed - gear / torque converter state if available - coolant temperature - oil pressure - oil temperature if available - battery voltage - commanded AFM/DFM state if available - actual AFM/DFM state if available - misfire counters / roughness by cylinder if available - fuel trims - relevant U-codes / communication events - bus-off / lost periodic message / module reset / voltage drop events Which of those would you remove, and what would you add?
