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 removed the Airaid MIT and K&N filter from my '11 Yukon before trading it.

Installed it on my '17

the cast lug on the bottom that holds the rad hose on the earlier trucks needs to be drilled thru and tapped to 1/4" pipe for the second v/c breather.

plumb up the valve covers and done!

Baffling in the fender must be different as this setup on the '17 is quieter than it was on my '11, but pleasingly so.

no drivability issues at all, weld in Magnaflow muff next

My Airaid Mit tube should be at my house in the next few days. I'm going to do an in can db test stock, and with the tube on. Probably going to do readings on idle, 55mph, hard pull without downshifting, and wot to see how much louder it is.

I ordered mine here: http://www.autoanything.com/air-intakes/airaid-modular-intake-tube

 

you can also get the Airaid JR kit that comes with a filter here:http://www.autoanything.com/air-intakes/airaid-jr-kits

 

I just got a K&N filter from autozone, but i've heard the airaid filters are good.

This is the set up I'm going to run. MIT will be here next week, then I'm going to put in a K&N filter. How do you like it?

I like it a lot. I only wonder if a full on CAI would get a little better throttle response, but it breathes REALLY well and performs great! I would absolutely buy it again!

 

(note that the throttle response is great as is, I just wonder if it would be any better with full on CAI with an open cone filter rather than running the stock air box)

 

I know HP numbers would probably be the same between the two

Stock airbox is well designed, opening is generous in fender and has cold air.

 

Only thing replacement box will do is make more noise....JMHO

 

I believe this will be backed up by Black Bears results coming soon in their thread

Thats what i was thinking. Per Black Bear's last test, the HP numbers were the same. But that's from the peak of the curve. I'm wondering more about throttle response and the lower end. Granted... the results won't make me buy another intake. I love this one.

Excellent. I agree the stock box is well made and I while I like the look some of the full CAIs, the MIT and a good filter should sufffice. Once I get the MIT (thought next week but the BOSS has other plans right now) I will give an update with my findings...

 

Thanks again for posting, brother.

I'm doing the same with my old MIT. HOW did you connect the breather hoses on the engine end? (I sent you a pm about it too)

Careful use of heat gun and remove stock valve cover filling from plastic line

Not a problem at all! A lot of CAIs seem to be coming with boxes of their own now. So those I wouldn't think provide any different performance than the MIT and a better filter.

The open element cone filter models, I only think might provide a little more low end torque because of the readily available air not needing to be pulled in from the fender... but the more i talk about that the less sense it makes haha.

Now I may have the clearance to get a full kit....not sure which way I will go.

You could always go with a Spectre kit, they are good (my father in law has one and loves it) and they're affordable as well.

It's about the same price as an airaid MIT and is an open element so its a little louder.

      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.

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
