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 damn impressive but I think 55mph pisses everybody else on the highway... lol. 55mph seems to be the sweet spot though.

So what? I drive speed limit everywhere I go. I think it’s entertaining to see all the people behind me squirming from impatience. Lol.

As long as you don’t cruise the speed limit in the far left lane, it’s fine with me! Lol. Otherwise everyone hates you.

Lol. I’m a trucker. I’m used to everyone hating me. But no, I don’t hog the left lane if I can help it. Except through Joliet on I-80. Too many potholes in the right lane.

So after reading through, I decided to go with an AEM DryFlow drop in. All I have noticed so far is loss in fuel economy. Only ran about a tank and a half of gas, does it need to run longer to reset or should I do something different? Wasn’t looking for any huge performance increase or sound, just wanted a decent drop in. Anyone have any thoughts? Also, should I be running mid or premium vs regular?

Does the airaid MIT add any drone?  

 

If I go CAI, I want to stay with a dry filter.  What CAI kits are recommended?

Made a custom 4” tube to mate up with my l86 throttle body and manifold swap. No pcv ports on it since I have mine vented to atmosphere. Also we do powder coating at my work and had mine done in wrinkle black. 72568ddc7cbc329804c8e1ee1b9ef514.jpg

they all have a hum or drone, because your removing the resonator wich is what keeps it quiet.. 

I ilike the sound, and find the Airaid pipe works great and all the pcv lines fit into it..  one trick no one really does is remove the airbox restrictor panel, this increases airflow , but to be honest , unless your running a cam with ported heads, you will not make any more power than stock set up.  use the stock paper airfilter it works great, aftermarket filters are shit and probably made in china

It's not quite a "drone" really. It is louder, but not a drone. Sounds nice. Try and ride in someone truck, or even car, with it installed. Unlike an exhaust drone, the added noise will not hurt your head. After years of being married, I've become very sensitive to noise. CAIs provide pleasant notes.

Had a full K&N CAI for maybe 2 months max. I’m not a fan so went back to stock. Waste of money in my opinion. Up for sale 

I was getting worse gas mileage 

response was horrible almost like waiting for a turbo to kick in 

noise was annoying to me. 

 

Today i installed  the Airaid MIT and K&N filter -kept the stock air box 

Test drove after - no annoying “kick in noise” and the response is so much better. 

200.00 total compared to 300 on the CAI kit.

The reason for the issue you are describing is caused by altering the MAF housing in any way from factory which the k&n cai does. It requires a tune. Even the airaid will benefit from a tune but since the factory MAF housing is still being used, the tune won’t need adjustment.

I cannot find any review on the GM drop in filter 84520923 other than it is outrageously expensive. Ok to assume that GM is just pricing because they can, and there are no tangible benefits to this drop in filter? My understanding it is disposable under regular intervals, not washable or extended run? Has anyone tried to measure this filter. I am very curious in OEM accy's as my prior experience with GMC dealers was abysmal to say the least and that if you do not want to take CAI and filters off the truck every time for service, you choice is to pay GM prices while truck is in warranty. 10% increase at 99.5% efficiency is easily beat by almost any other aftermarket intakes and filters. I have searched but cannot locate good analysis on this filter. 

 

Thanks for pointers!

The Dyno results are very good with the stock OEM Airbox with a K&N drop-in filter and the Airaid MIT.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yes.   Yes.   We might be intermingling ideas with the term 'severity', in one of my past vehicles it could pull up DTC via the vehicles own user interface, at any given time when one would do this there would be an assortment of codes that were 'trivial' including 'communication' issues. This would generate a bunch of, potentially false alerts or some many that they would get ignored. Which you mentioned earlier.    You also mention several things that might be redundant with the vehicles own systems or indicators: The truck has an oil pressure gauge, monitoring it via this other system wouldn't be a priority except in comparison to other values or if there is an actual oil pressure problem.   Same thing for miss-fires or other problems, the MIL already signals the operator to an issue...   ...to the point about what one wants to see first, if there is a miss fire detected, I want to see miss fire counts or fuel trims first, if I have an oil pressure problem I want to see the oil pressure first. So, perhaps the 'systems' that are showing abnormalities are what gets displayed first.   I think your device is what connects at the OBD port, ease of use for the consumer, it could still have a 'pass-through' port for a second scanner, computer, etc.   Yes.   Based on my comment above, if an error appears, the report would be more specific to the system having an error.

      I like the idea.  I thought about putting a deposit a few years ago when they first dropped.  I still want to drive one and have inquired about doing this with them, like a ride and drive event they said they are coming but it hasnt happened even with them built in Indiana.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That's a tough spot to be in, I personally would question spending 1/2 the book value on a repair vs. selling it as-is.    Presuming you own it out right, sell it for 10k and have a down payment for a replacement truck, or spend 10k on the one you already have...   I still think there is a cheaper transmission out there via recyclers, aftermarket or rebuild. (Cheaper than 5k for the unit)

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Sadly, there's a drought of good 92-95 4.3 cars at junkyards in the area otherwise I would have gone fishing for parts. Not that they don't come up, there's just nothing good in the yards right now.   I tore into the intake yesterday evening, easier than I thought, and I might have this problem licked for cheap. Two of the intake studs came up with the bolt on removal, no big deal but that's why it looks funny with studs only on one side.   There's pooled gas on both sides of the plenum. Highlights boxed in green. Picture-right side has an obviously split pressure line from rubbing on the #5 injector nylon line. #5's line is worn in that spot but not all the way through. Passenger side intake (picture left), not sure, but I think the pressure regulator is hosed. Rebuilt spiders don't come with the pressure and return hoses so I'll need to replace those no matter what. A pressure regulator is $30 so I'll try that and if I end up having to swap the whole spider, it was $30. I'll be grinning ear to ear if that's all I need.   Parts arrive Tuesday.   Sure enough the shop was here before. That's a new gasket. Vacuum lines and wiring are a tangled mess, I sorted that out last night as well. Spent about an hour just picking up general slack and shoddy reassembly around the engine bay. Cheek-pokered the battery tray, got it all cleaned up. Sometimes things just need a little elbow grease and a few minutes of time to be right again.
