K&N's breathe great, & they suck more dirt than anything else( I'm well versed with how to properly oil them). Choice is yours. nobody has ever determined how much the additional dirt that comes through effects engine wear. I ran them exclusively for years before there were other choices, now I run AEM bruteforce/dryflow and am very happy with the performance & filtering effectiveness. Hard to beat OEM if you just want a good filter, that filters well.

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

That's the firsts I've ever heard of k&n sucking in more dirt. Do you have a source to a study on that?

Looking to go to my local parts spot and get a k&n drop in air filter worth it?

If you never plan on getting an aftermarket intake and plan on keeping your truck for a long time, then it will save you some money from buying the paper filters each year. But you won't notice much of anything else.

Only plan on getting an airaid intake tube eventually

Oh and those utilize the existing filter box right? I haven't look into those yet. But if they use the stock box then yeah I would get the drop in K&N. Also will want the cleaning and oil kit too.

Yes it hooks to stock air box I don't want to use a cold air intake when the restrictive part is the tube anyways... So I figured that filter and the tube I should get a tiny tiny but better mpg that guys claim to get and something to add to the truck

YeaH, That is old news actually. I've been arround our local off road community for 30+ years and it is just the gospel that K&N's are porous in nature and will pass much more dirt than almost any other filter. I used to use them in cars, bike's, trucks, then I would always find residue after being in dusty environments, or a long service period. Seriously Google it! it's been well known for over maybe 15+ years, K&N has awesome marketing. Not saying they don't breathe they best, they probably do, just there is a price for all that flow. When I ran them exclusivley my maf sensors (on pre LS vehicles) were always dirty (not oily - I know how ot oil them). OEM is prob. the best filtering.

. Thanks for your input. AFE momentum on the way! I've had tons of open/hot air intakes before so I'm glad to be back using AFE and this enclosed/cold air intake.

No problem at all, you'll be happy with it. I have no regrets at all

Installed the AFE momentum today. Very easy install. Everything fits and seals perfectly.

 

Went for a test drive. She really growls at about 50% throttle. Love that sound. I already had a huge improvement to throttle response with the Blackbear tune, but now it's even better. Great product!!

Glad you like it! The growl is a very nice sound!

 

Question, I noticed you left the plug in the box for the front air scoop? I removed mine and cut a hole in the thin plastic flap on the truck to allow airflow to come in from the grill area as well.

Oh yeah I took out the plug right after taking the pictures. Since it's cold outside I figured I'd keep it off. I'll look into doing what you did too.

Well looks like the Airaid MIT is the best bang for the buck. Catch can and clean side spearator this month, Airaid MIT next month!

 

The Volant I had on my 2008 Frontier really opened her up and growled. Paired with a Banks Monster Exhaust she would yell pretty loud at WOT. I probably won't put an exhaust on this truck, at least for a few years, but I'm looking forward to replacing the stock shoe box.

This was waiting for me when I got home from work. My initial thoughts? Damn, the air box and filter are HUGE! A little overkill I think. I'll install it when I get a chance and give a report.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Yea a fluid change is in order here. Honestly, your transmission didn’t even get hot. During the summer in stop and go traffic I’ve seen my 8l80 get up to 216 and it was still shifting smoothly.

      I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.

      2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 8l90

      By LCH14 · Posted

      Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.
