I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

It really wasn't hard at all, I had it done in about 2 hours,. minus the prep time of getting the leads ready, that was a couple hours... I bought (4) OEM GM leads off of eBay. P/N 12085535, or you could get them from @pgamboa Harness Dr.. I rough measured from the mounting location to about the gas pedal area, cut some 18 gauge wire (red/black), and heat shrink butt connected them to the GM leads then wrapped each one up good in harness tape.. I mounted all the lights (there are factory mounts in the trucks, except for the passenger seat, it's not a power seat) , I then ran both back seat light wires under the seat rails and up along the inside edge of the console. I took both passenger and driver's side light leads and ran them up to the front of the console up by the console mounting bracket..

I cut back all the black leads and terminated them with a 10mm electrical connector and mounted the negative to a dash mounting bolt that had enough bolt threads to get the terminal, lock washer and a nut on.. I then cut all the positive leads back and connected them all together. I took a piece of wire long enough to reach from the BCM to under the console. Butt connected all 4 leads to the single lead and wrapped that up good with harness tape. I used a T-tap on the violet/green wire in the video and ran the line to that...

Finally got around to wrapping my intake tube with some DEI heat wrap. So far it’s about 10degrees cooler driving around in the city. Doesn’t get as much heat soak from the fan kicking on and off.
I can probably get even better IAT if I make a lid for my “box”.

Wasn't today, haha, but just got an oil change for the truck, full synthetic. About 5.5k miles since my last one. Doing a tire rotation tomorrow since that is a little overdue. Very excited for the warm weather coming up, deep cleaning time! 😁

My truck suffered an awesome dent. [emoji852]

Well that sucks ass. Was that your neighbor?

Don't take me wrong and I hate to say it though, you left your truck in a vulnerable position. I never park in front of a driveway just for that exact reason.

I over think stuff like that[emoji3166].

Let's see a pic of the carnage.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By newdude · Posted

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.
