I went back and forth on options; KN, Airaid, Volant, SB, etc.

 

After talking to Lew I decided to go on his recommendation. It cost me $400 and tho not cheaper then all the others, I am happy.

 

It sounds good, it looks good, and most of all I don't need to yank it out to change headlight bulbs.

 

Install wasn't bad and the packaging was top notch. The whole kit is aluminum and said to have heat reflecting spray inside it.

 

My buddy had SB sealed box and we will be doing some IAT tests in middle of day to see how big of a difference there is. I don't care much about the performance as we all know, it's a dang CAI. However, it definitely made my Borla exhaust more throaty!

Looks nice. I was considering this same set up for my truck. Just installed a Flowmaster cat back Force II exhaust. Sounds awesome but really would like an intake now. Notice any difference as far as throttle response?

Yeah I noticed it's a bit more crisp. I have a Diablew tune as well.

 

 

What brand did you decide on?

 

Cold Air Inductions Intake.

Looks good. Wonder how much better the aluminum reflects the heat vs plastic...

I'll try to get some data next week. I was told the pipes are coated with a resistance inside and the box panels itself have the reflecting insulation.

I just installed mine as well I was wondering since my CEL is on the plastic piece that came with it where the MAF is did you leave the plastic piece inside the tube or take it off thanks chris

 

 

I did leave it on -- did you unplug your MAF when you installed it?

You have a chance to gather any data for us?

I have one of those on my Camaro. great fit and finish and it was proven to be one of if not the best CAI, so I am sure it will be great for the Silverado too

Here is a log file for steady state I sent to Lew.

 

It was 70mph at 2100rpms with 80F outside temp. I'll let you be judge. I'm pretty impressed it's at that temperature.

 

84-86F during the 3-4 mins of driving.

I also just had my buddy check his with S&B intake--it's 73F right now and he's driving at 63mph and his intake temp is 81F.

 

81 IAT - 73 Ambient = 8F delta (My buddies with Lew tune and S&B intake)

 

84 IAT - 80 Ambient = 4F delta (Mine with Lew tune and Cold Air Inductions intake)

 

So there's about a 4F delta between aluminum and heat coating versus the all plastic S&B.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
