Was going to order a GM CAI and did some research to find that the last year listed is the 2016. I even tried GM's online chat and was told the same thing and there is no GM CAI part for the 2017. I find it strange, isnt the 2016 and 17 the same engine?

I know there are other options but was going to go with GM's version since it does not void warrenty and have any grief with dealer down the road

It's been the same engine for years. Your air sensor might be different and not fit the same hole.

That's why we have the Magnusson Moss warranty act. Get a reputable name brand air intake and you shouldn't have to worry about warranty issues or the dealer scoffing when there's issues.

It's the same, they just haven't updated the year range yet. If you look on that K&N site and compare the '16 to the '17, the part #s are the exact same. So just order the one for the '16 and be done with it. As far as I know the engines haven't changed one bit since '14 in the 1500s.

 

Also don't feel like you need to get a GM certified system. Get the one that you want and don't worry about voiding the warranty. Maybe the stats have been updated, but as far as I know you can get just the Airaid M.I.T. and it does the same performance as a full air intake kit. You get the tube and get to keep the factory air filter box and it's half the price. I had an Airiad MIT on my '14 when I had it and loved it.

Warranty isn't just voided, the only ways a cold air intake can void your warranty is, not properly Installed, damaging the corresponding parts, or going into deep of water.

 

And even then they have to prove it was the cold air intake that caused the damage.

I completely understand all of this .

Now back to the original question, does anyone know or has anyone tired the GM CAI on a 2017?

I looked at the link provided by SuperSierra and it claims that the K&N system is guaranteed to increase torque and horsepower. I imagine this is the reason for purchasing a GM certified or any brand of cold air intake. Is this improvement noticeable or does it require special equipment to verify the improvement? A phone call to your local GM parts department will confirm the compatibility of a '16 to a '17. I may make the same call if people are noticing increased engine power!

Just found out there is a different GM CAI for the 2017. Was looking through a Chevrolet Performance flyer online and there is a different parts number.

The 2015 thru 2016 is not the same CAI

 

P/N 84016022 Silverado with 5.3L V8 (L83), model years 2015–2016

 

P/N 84089441 Silverado with 5.3L V8 (L83), model years 2017

Not sure what the difference is but.........................

They probably just changed something on the intake kit itself. Or maybe for some reason just changed the part #. But either one should fit.

 

Also the K&N kit is the same for the 5.3 and 6.2, they just include both couplers to connect the tube to the throttle body. The 6.2 TB is a tad bigger than the 5.3, everything else externally of those 2 engines are the same.

 

By the way, any HP gain that they show is for a cold engine bay. Once it gets to operating temp there's only 2-3 HP gain. The only performance gain you MIGHT feel is a little bit better throttle response since it's a straight shot tube and not a big box for the air to go around. Again I suggest the Airaid MIT since it does the same performance while keeping the factory air fitler box and filter so you can just keep buying a factory filter. The tube also just looks better and gives better access. But, it's your money.

Price is about $100 more than the old part number also.

Anyone know why what looks like the exact part is so much more money?

 

Also, and fuel efficiency changes with changing to one of these GM intakes?

You cannot get more horsepower from a cold air intake system and still get better fuel economy.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
