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.

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

I just put on the Airaid MIT today and absolutely feel increased throttle response. GM really plugs these trucks up, this really lets the truck breathe much better.

Ok, I installed my cai today and I must say it looks pretty good. The big airbox and filter fill up the space nicely. Now I just have to get used to the sound it makes, it has a weird growl at low rpm/ lots of throttle.

I only have 1,250mi on my truck but there was no oil in my intake or throttle body.

Looks nice, hoping that my 2014 Airaid kit will move over to my 2016 truck. I really don't want to buy another kit as the wife is already about to stroke out with the money I am going to put into the new truck as soon as we take delivery of it.

In case anyone is looking to purchase a new intake, Jet.com has a 15% discount (15NOW) for first time buyers. They had the Airaid MIT for $139 and once you add the promo it came out to $118. I was going to wait until next month to buy one, but couldn't pass up the deal. I'm sure it would have been better to bundle a few things into the promo like a rear floor liner but the budget wouldn't allow it! lol

I ended up with the Airaid intake for my truck. It was a breeze to install and the difference is noticeable, thought it could be a placebo. Who knows? I will eventually get a tune and some headers, but that is going to be later on. I think having an intake and exhaust before my first oil change is moving fast enough as far as mods. Lol!

The Airaid MIT I ordered through JET.com showed up right as I got home. Since I have the clean side separator from Elite, I had to change out the fittings. It took me longer to find the correct fittings than it did to actually install it. Took maybe 10 minutes to install. I'm disappointed the intake wasn't louder with the new tube, but it sounds much better than stock. There appears to be a noticeable increase in throttle response but it could just be imagining a difference since it sounds louder. But regardless, for $120 I can't complain.

Anybody put the MIT on a 2016 with the high capacity air box RPO K47? Airaid emailed me and said they cannot recommend it for my 2016 AT as it has not been tested

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
