Just installed a UPD air intake last night.  I am very happy

with the results.  Installation was easy and quick and I didn't

have to modify the fan shroud.  The truck definitly has better

throttle responce and accerlation is quicker.  I definitly recommend it, money well spent.  :)  :cool:

Congrats,

 

I had been debating between the UPD and the Volant. I am leaning toward the UPD because of ease of installation and the ease of going back to stock if needed.

 

Did you get the black, or did you go somehting different?

How has that worked for you???  I tried that but got engine pinging on wide open throttle...of course this was right after install but I put the K&N in with it.

I like the seemingly better throttle response and much nicer "growl" but it seems that my mileage has dropped a bit...sems worth the money but if I did it over, I would either get the clear, smoke or black plastic...I have the fake carbon fiber and it is okay but I haven't jazzed up underneath the hood very much so no one ses it but me (sounds like the Chevy commercial, eh???) :D  :crackup:  :crackup:  :crackup:  :thumb:

The computer probably had to get used to the new breathing. On my vette, my computer had to "re learn".

 

Ryan, why did you go stock air filter instead of K&N? Am I missing something?

C'mon...sound quality increases...sounds like it's s'posed to.

throttle response appears to be better...my mileage has suffered but just a lil bit...I think you will be happy with it...check the deals...I got the K&N for 10 or 20 bux more...it was worth it.

I have a Donaldson Blackwing on my 'Vette...I like their quality better and I think they make our stock airboxes (pop up notification to change or clean filter, their idea) but I can't seem to find where they sell their filters for trux...I have sent e-mail to their website only to get a phone number to call and no help...says they have nowhere in the Chicagoland area that sells their filters...I find that hard to believe.

Anyway...have at it! :thumb:  :)  :flag:  :flag:  :nono:  :hail:

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
