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

140 for the MIT usually and around 180 for the Jr. kit that includes the filter

Installed Airaid kit for 6.2L. For those considering the full kit (202-111), the install is straight forward. I suggest installing the filter to the box coupler prior to installing the coupler to the box - you cannot get the filter installed if you wait until the end.

 

Noise has a nice throat when the throttle opens. Noise while cruising isn't noticeable. Cannot comment on whether the supposed +/- 10hp exists since the truck is 5 days old (not near break in) and we're dealing with 420hp to start ?

 

I was reluctant as many are with the open box concept as I like the sealed tops better, however it seals nicely to the hood and the new hoods seal better to boot. Overall, it's a classic, easy and enjoyable mod - happy so far.

For those of you looking for an Airaid MIT kit on these new trucks, I suggest that you contact them to help get the ball rolling.

 

This is the response that I got from them today after emailing them last night.

 

Steve

 

At this time we do not have a MIT in the works for the new 2014 GM trucks however I have noted your inquiry on our lost sales file which our R&D department and new products committee refer to when looking for new products develop. While I cannot make any promised I will keep your email on file and will follow up with you if I hear that we are working on one.

 

Sorry we could not be more help with your search at this time and please feel free to get back in touch with me if you have any additional questions.

Ok Steve, you may have been down this road before. Try Donaldson on the web, they have all kinds of tubing and rubber elbows for remote filter installation. I haven't had the time to do the research, figured it would be up your alley. Edited by KARNUT

Ok.... I replied to Mark Fowler with Airaid's email, telling him what my current plans are as far as using the MIT from the 2013 and just modifying the PCV connection points. He actually replied back with concern over doing that since they have done 0 testing on it. This really surprised me as most people/companies only see $$$$. Here is his response....

 

Steve

 

I understand that there are a few people that have adapted the earlier tube onto the 2014 and while they may have been able to install it that does not mean it will work properly. Extensive testing needs to be done with a part like this to ensure that the long term fuel trims are good and that the air flow over the MAF sensor remains within the OE parameters to avoid any potential damage or runability issues.

And of course my resonse...

 

Mark,

 

Since I am a tuner I will know within minutes the effect that it has on the factory calibration. I'm hoping that it does effect air flow enough, in a positive manner, to require adjustment to the MAF transfer calibrations and/or volumetric efficiency which will not be an issue since I am able to adjust accordingly. I will be able to log it's effect and will report back to you with the percentage of airflow changed across the MAF's effective range on the new DI 5.3.

With the design of this huge factory intake muffler/baffle system, I can't see it being anything other than an improvement.

I do appreciate the warning and your genuine concern for my investment over the monetary gain that could be had by your company. That goes a long way with me.

Damn SY.... CSI much?

That's not as strange as the claimed HP though, LOL

 

Hey TDT, I gave up on that show along time ago. However after thinking about the KN filter test again, I came to the understanding that the KN filter must be the best thing going for our trucks. Just think about it for a minute while looking over the #'s

 

Run Title: Stock 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3L

Run Notes: Baseline stock run. 2362 miles. 3rd gear run.

Run Date: 3/25/2014 10:45:45 AM

Stock.001: 73.61 °F 29.06 in-Hg Humidity: 29 % SAE: 1.01

Run Title: K&N 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3L

Run Notes: K&N intake kit #63-3082 installed. 6732 miles. 3rd gear run.

Run Date: 3/25/2014 12:56:59 PM

K&N.002: 74.36 °F 29.01 in-Hg Humidity: 28 % SAE: 1.02

 

They manage to get a 15.39 HP and 21.24 LBFT increase by changing the filter. But in the real world they were very conservative with the outcome.

 

They manage to take a brick and by changing just the air filter the got this brick with 4 wheels (most likely had non speed rated tires on it) to travel 2,185 miles one way and back again in 2.17 hrs so they could put it back on the same dyno to show the inprovements. To top it off, they did it with a 5.3L engine. One time for sure is I glad it was a Chevrolet Tahoe because the Ford Expedition may not have survive at those speeds.

 

Maybe we got this CAI thing all wrong if just a filter can do this. I wonder what they could do with a 6.2L engine?

Thank you for your interest in Airaid. I have added you to the list of lost sales for this particular part. Hopefully we will have something for you in the future.

 

:D

Lol... I like the part where that Tahoe added 4k miles to the odometer in a couple hours time. I have posted real data on here... now it's up to you guys if you want to take the time to read it.

 

I do appreciate your optimism ... I have spent thousands of hours on a Dyno and have NEVER seen a car produce numbers anywhere near what K&N claim and have also seen the effects of oil type gauze filters which I steer clear of. I also don't need an open element box when stock flows just as good, has cooler IAT's which means you can add more timing for more power and is quieter. There is nothing attractive about K&N to me unless they fab me a MIT

Yeah... That cracks me up

 

I was driving down the road when I read your post and totally missed the sarcasm. Lol

I was thinking about modifying a Injen Cold Air Kit and cutting it right near the MAF....looks like their MAF placement is closest to the factory airbox location. It fits our trucks and has the proper fittings for the breathers off of the valve covers. This looks like it may work. It comes in black and polished. INJEN PF7064BLK

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      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.
