S&B Update - September became October and now:

 

Thanks for your interest in our new cold air intake kit for the 2014 Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra 5.3L (part number 75-5069). This intake is currently in development. We expect to have this kit released late in the fall of 2014. The cost of the kit will be $299 and will be available with a dry or cleanable filter.
We will provide you updates as we get closer to launching this product. You can reply to this email at anytime for an update or with any question. You can also visit our R&D section on our website for updates.
This will be available to ship from our Canadian DC apprx 3-4 weeks after it is released in the states. However, you are more than welcome to have it shipped from our plant here in California via USPS before then.
Thanks for your support.

A local company has a flash 20% off deal today for the AFE intake. Any feedback for afe would be great. I am leaning to go this way versus waiting for s&b. thanks

Who was your local having the 20% off?

I'm waiting for someone in Sask to have them at a discount but I know enough people in Alberta that I could get one picked up. I'm missed one about 6 weeks ago and haven't wanted to pull the trigger again because I know what I could get it for.

You're most welcome.

 

Seeing as the MIT for the 2014 was just announced that day, it would seem self-evident that there wouldn't be any independent testing results.

 

I'm perfectly fine pointing it out directly tho.

Doesn't quite make sense to me that the company didn't bother on doing some before and after dynos prior to announcing the product, i'm new to that. On my prior cars, 2006 Inifiniti G35, 2008.5 Mazdaspeed3 Turbo 4cyl, 2013 BMW 328i, all intakes i've purchased had at least some before and after dynos on their intakes. 3rd party dynos came after. That is from my experience, so no, it isn't "self-evident" lol... Thanks though. :driving:

I get you. They'll probably get around to it. This was essentially a heads up to people that are ready to purchase now (since we emailed them directly about it). They have no need to "pitch" their product. Hell, I modded an older version to fit mine.

 

As far as performance, the factory boxes are actually cold air and efficient. The addition of a high flow filter and replacing the factory tube that eliminates all the sound diffusers is were the performance gains are realized. I actually think the factory setup in the 2014 is very efficient. At the end of the day, its still an LS engine in essentially the same configuration so I believe the previous test results are still relevant.

 

Also, its not that the Airaid setup is more than performant than the other brands, it's that it's within a narrow competitive range and far less expensive since you're not replacing the factory box.

They kinda are more performant than other brands... Look up the BB dyno test results which you've probably seen before.

+1 for Airaid for making a product they didn't plan on making telling we bugged them.

I've already order my dry jr kit and I'm sure I'll be just as pleased as I was in the other truck.

It's not officially released . It's not even on the website. It's a heads up to the guys like me that's been emailing and calling asking about when they're product is gonna be ready. It's a call to order.

    • I don't drive this truck on a regular basis since I have a new company truck with no out of pocket fuel or maintenance cost. Yesterday I got it out to run some errands and got the title message on my DCI. A quick Google search suggested to first clean the Map Sensor. I pulled it out and it was sooty so cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Issue not resolved. My OBDII is a couple years old so didn't see any codes. Today I took it to a friend at AutoZone to get him to check it with his reader. It had the following codes: P20C3 P02BB P221F Stating the most likely solution is to replace diesel emission fluid (DEF) tank assembly.   So, I guess a trip to the dealer is necessary. I read where there was a backorder on these tank assemblies several years ago so hope that has been resolved.
    • Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well. 
    • Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer
    • I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.    
    • Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4
