Yup. Mine will be ready on the 13th and I'm also getting custom tune and dyno tests to see the gains. If you go with the Volant let me know how you like it.

After reading the posts made by TJay74 and CorvetteOJ I ordered an Airaid CAI system for my 6.2L Silverado. I hope my installation goes as smooth as theirs did. I guess we'll see.

Congratualtions Tom. Personally, I think you will be happy, and probably surprised at the results. Let me know if you have any questions about the install. As TJay told me, getting the coupler to slide on the throttle body is a little snug, but it will go. Other than that, the rest is a piece of cake if you follow the directions. Good luck.

Thanks!! I feel better doing it now that I know I have a "go-to guy" in case I have trouble. Thanks again!!!

when looking at both the Airaid and the Stage-2 Si Intake from AFE ...... I guess the main difference is the Airaid is open (used hood as the top) And it draws the air from under in front of the grill. The AFE is closed and draws the air from the factory opening.

 

My thoughts are the Airaid will definitely have more intake noise when the power is put down. As for the where they "draw" the air from... I don't know if one is better than the other..

 

thoughts?

if you guys had to buy today, which would you go with?

The Airaid will flow more air. That's why I decided to go with it. Love the results.

 

I didn't pay near that asking price tho.. That's insane

I do know it will flow more air? is this your opinion or is there some data that shows? also.. where did you purchase your airaid ?

Check out the Dyno results of both systems on the websites. The Airaid makes more power than the Afe. Also pushes more cfm (cubic feet per minute) than the afe. I won a bid on eBay for the Airaid system. You have all the answers you need with the info provided on their sites. If you wait until the 13th I'm going in for dyno pulls to see actual non-website gains and a custom tune with exhaust results as well. So as of now I'm going off of info provided via manufacture.

For the price of some intakes why not just get a tune from the likes of blackbear? Besides the possible warranty issues.

You answered your own question lol. Possible warranty issues.

No problem. I was on the fence for a lil bit to.. But numbers are the only thing in life that will never lie. If you go with the dry filter let me know how you like it. I have the oiled. (synthaflow)

I was planning on going with the Dry filter. Any difference in airflow between the two? Other than the dry costs about $10 more and is less maintenance

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