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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      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.

      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.
