Because the 6.2L is dangerous as is and CAI makers don't want to be liable for possible accidents caused by the power increase.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But no seriously, its just silicon transition coupler.  3.5" to 3" I believe?

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

Cold air intakes  are only effective when you're at WOT, aka redline.

Is there any particular reason why GM sells an intake for the 5.3 but not the 6.2L?

 

 

Not sure why GM doesn't but other brands do. aFe, Volant and the full Airaid perform the best from what we have seen.

I haven't read every reply. Too many on this topic.

I'm considering the S&B. Does anyone have this setup?

I just installed the S&B on my 17 5.3 and love it. It was a toss up between that and the AFE and I decided on S&B. I liked the bigger box and the window on top.

Looks really nice!

Did that setup increase HP, throttle response, mpg?

Either way, I'll be ordering S&B soon.

I have a 7” lift with 35’s so any hp increase I’m probably not going to notice. Haven’t had it on long enough to notice mpg changes. Throttle response I did notice. It was instantly better. Not a huge difference but very noticeable to me. I’m getting a tuner in the next week or two which paired with the intake should make a big difference in power and drive ability

I installed the gm CAI on my 2014, just purchased a replacement filter 23231630 from the dealer. 100 bucks and some change, took a week for the dealer to get it. I noticed on the box it was shipped for K&N engineering in CA. I have looked on the K&N website and could not find an exact match. 

 

So does anyone known what the part number would be, in the hopes of saving some cash in the future.

$100 just for replacing the filter?  Just plain crazy if so.  Depending on the filter size I know AMSOIL sells filters that can fit most of the CAI systems. Just need your dimensions and then can cross it to an AMSOIL air filter.

I ran across this. Seems to be a K&N knockoff for nearly half the price.

Anyone used this SPECTRE brand filter?

They also make their own intake kit for the 2014-2018 Silverado/Sierra and you can get it for around $155.

In the latest BBP CAI test the MIT with factory air box showed no gain above factory numbers, however all other CAI's showed gains. Has BBP ever tested oem intake piping with baffles connected to aftermarket "CAI filter box" with larger surface area (reduced restriction) round/cone filters? I'm considering this with one of the "CAI filter boxes" tested by BBP. I recall in the previous BBP test with GEN 4 engines the MIT tube combined with factory air box and K&N replacement filter ranked high in results compared to other manufacturers complete CAI systems. Your current test utilized MIT tube with factory box and factory filter implying (to me at least) that a less restrictive filter element has the more effect than the tube itself. Please help me understand as I'd gladly purchase a complete system and install CAI box without tube if I could benefit performance without the additional sound the tube seems to create.

Something I'd like to add, and I wish it would have been available when BBP did there test, the Airaid MIT has changed design for the 6.2l since the test. I'd like to see how the new design MIT tube would perform in the same test. If you go in thre website you can see the difference in the 14-15 and I think even the 16 model year compared to what they offer for the 17-18 6.2l Trucks.

BBPs 6.2L stock dyno numbers were EXTREMELY low. So low in fact they seem unrealistic, especially when you compare their numbers to Hennessy’s test numbers. The fact of how far their numbers seemed to be off make me doubt that entire test

      Oil Consumption

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I have changed oil and filter for years by starting a cold engine to warm oil up, let it run 5-10 minutes depending on temperature. Drain until it starts dripping, refill with quantity from owners manual or get it close.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I changed the factory fill oil in the rear diff of my truck for the first time today and the miles is close to 9000 on the truck. There was a lot of fines on the magnet, a very thick layer but working it through my fingers it all felt like mush and as most know it appears like graphite, so no surprise chunks anyway. Certainly was time to do it from my thinking and could have been done sooner but the oil didn't look awful but sure wasn't new looking and never expected it to either. I did use some solvent to help me clean out the bottom area of the axle housing, just get any other stuff settled at the bottom washed and wiped out of the housing for the bit of effort it takes. I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 in the easy packs to try out what they are like and I used up 4 packs and didn't spill much at all in the process but did take all four of the packs and go to the work bench and emptied them into a measuring container and there certainly was some in them that added up to something, then poured that into one of the easy packs and squirted in what I could get out of it. I would say the level is within 1/8th of an inch of being level with the threads at the fill plug so just the perfect amount. Once again, more than what GM says the fill volume is but computes with what others are adding to their rear diffs as well.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      So speaking of oil consumption with my L8T as I just changed the oil yesterday and made the switch over to Amsoil SS 0W-40 from the Mobil 1  5W-30 Truck and SUV I just dropped out. 2900 miles on that oil as well as  68 hours on that oil ( so used to equipment with an hour meter and that becomes valuable information to compare with others as well ). Once again the oil use was so very little, I am going to say it dropped under 1/16 of an inch on the dipstick. No towing was done and this interval was from early spring until now.    One interesting item to note is that going by the 5 quart jugs I was using before from Mobil, it was showing that I was putting in 8 US quarts to bring it to full if not slightly over the full mark according to their jug markings. Granted I did allow more drain time this time and in part because the engine oil was only lukewarm as I started it and let it idle and not for long enough to get the oil itself hot ( the engine was up to operating temp ). The oil in that state just seemed to take forever for it to drip out but not only at the drain plug but at the oil filter housing as well, perhaps I had never quite gotten all the oil out before and I could have still waited longer but as it was I waited well over 3 hours. I think next time if I have the time I will do an experiment by dropping the oil and lets say leave the pan under it for 15 minutes, then switch to another pail and let it drip out overnight and measure how much more oil comes out. So this time and yes I ended up getting it just over the full mark as I was experimenting with trying to get the level to the add mark after I had run it and then waited some and then added a bit and waited for a certain amount of time for it to settle to the add mark. I very well may not have waited long enough for that experiment but I got to the add mark, then dumped in a full quart and waited some and checked and then waited some more and it crept up more ... and then finally oops, it was slightly over full some hours later when it really had settled all it would. I find this engine sure takes time for the last bit of oil that gets poured in to finally make its way into the crank case. I can only guess at how much too much I added as per maybe a 1/10th of a quart. I had poured in 8.5 quarts going by the quart containers as per 8 quarts and 16 us ounces. I was shocked at how much this was off compared to the prior oil changes and if those larger jugs and they are not marked accurately enough or they contain slightly more than what they say, or the drain time factor made that much of a difference. But I know on this forum there have been others who have said they have put well over 8 quarts in their L8T and now I have also going by the Amsoil true quart containers. Its a confusing convoluted mess up here in Canada with some oil manufactures packaging is in true US quarts, some is also in true US quarts containers on an even number of quarts but also marked in liters which becomes the odd ball volume of a fractional amount of liters. Then there is the Liters only containers, no US markings as its a true metric container and only measured in Liters to an even number of Liters. But remember we used to have Imperial Gallons and Imperial quarts as well !.

      Holy smokes. Clearly not a deal on that truck. I just mean in general, matte or painted trim is becoming more normative than chrome, but I know the Black Optics packages on various vehicles are being sold as uplevel trims. They look really good, but sheesh. It's just paint and plastic.

      Some Assembly is Required

      I Wouldn't Know Where to Begin    Oh I know where I would begin but I'm just one of over eight billion people on this rock. Eight billion versions of where the goal post is. How large it should be. How far to kick from. What ball is the right ball. Elevation. Age.....are you getting the point? It isn't about disagreeing with one individual. It's about agreeing only with one individual. One's self.   Agreement comes when multiple people hold the same point already. THAT is the goal of an education. Building the Social Contract. That thing that allows us to all read this sentence. We've agreed on the alphabet and how to arrange those letters into words we agree upon whose meanings hold true for everyone entering into that contract. Those words arranged into a sentence form an idea and several sentences strung together in a paragraph convey an argument for or against or inform the reader of a state, condition or perhaps reveal a things nature. Paint a word picture. Make oneself known.    This contract is not limited to words although they are often explained by words. Things like numbers and their usefulness. Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Music, Art and so on.    The frequency of middle C (C4) is 261.63 Hz is a first principle. We build on that to make music we all can enjoy even if we all can not compose or play. You don't have to master it to make it enjoyable and useful.    So why is the Beginning so difficult? Why is agreement so elusive?   Everyone "Signs" the contract (when receiving that education in obtaining it)  but fewer and fewer in this world have any intention of living by that contract. They find exploiting that contract more advantageous. Disruption. With intent. Without intent. In Ignorance. In your face. With a double dog dare you. With a hold my beer. In resistance to that contract and in spite how it looks on us. It permeates the very air we breath.    In this way the contract is subject to advantage. Abide by it when it serves you, disregard it when it doesn't. Unpredictable and self-serving. Corrosive.....Toxic........   It says a lot about a persons character to disregard the contract, the truth, first principles. None of it good.        ********************************************************   https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/character-vs-personality-who-we-are-and-who-we-aspire-to-be/   Just an interesting article.
