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

Those are bone stock 5.3 numbers. Now they might have been tested at a high elevation..

Yeah, no $hit...

 

I knew that. My point is those numbers are WAYYYYYYYYY off where they should be...

exactly, those numbers make me not buy the results of the entire test. Hennessey had 363hp stock which is a lot more believable to me.

I have seen many bone stock 5.3's put out more RWHP than that Yukon. Typically, most GM truck's drivelines zap 50-60HP from the net ratings published from GM.

I went with the Volant CAI on my '17 Sierra. The install was straightforward. All parts were of high quality, and fit and finish were well above average. The performance gains were pretty noticeable. I followed the instructions and disconnected the battery, to erase the PCM memory. The sound is nice. I am going to purchase the latest Diablosport tuner to work with my '17.

exactly, about 15-20%, not over 30%

aFe Intake System - Momentum GT (51-74104)

 

anyone put that cai on their truck yet? whats the noise level like? is it a lot louder than stock? i was planning on getting the Airaid Jr MIT plus an AFE dry filter. but this whole kit is only $150 more. i wonder if its worth the extra money. I'm also planning on getting the Magnaflow 12909 muffler. any advice would be great. also i am really not interested in getting a tune yet for the truck. concerned with the warranty on that.

 

I'm looking at doing these two things to try and get 1-2MPG increase.

The full intake will net more HP gain and overall performance than the airaid.

I ran a similar set up on my truck, then went with a full CAI and it made a much bigger difference. Worth the extra money. Wish i would have just gone with the full cold air intake from the beginning.

It's louder than the airaid (you wont hear much from that because it's just a tube). but if you plan on tuning, it will be more than worth it in the end.

Yukon Denali could have been AWD vs RWD, which would make sense for a tad more loss. But not that much, i agree.

 

Also i dont know where the tests were performed. I thought blackbear was out of san diego, but they may not be.

 

Can anyone provide a link to the hennesey tests?

so you think it will be ok to put the full intake without doing the tune right away? do i need to disconnect the battery when installing it?

is this noticeably louder than stock? on their site they say the sound level is low (2 out of 5)

Yes it will be fine. You'll still see a gain, just not as much as with a tune. My father in law has been running an intake and exhaust on his 6.2 high country for a while now without a tune and it performs just fine.

 

It is louder than stock, but with the AFE having an enclosure that might muffle some of the sound from it. Mine is open, as is my father in laws, so they're probably a little louder.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
