I’m sure there’s been a ton of discussion on this topic so I’ll try to narrow it down. I’m looking to get either the cold air inductions intake or the S&B intake. I have a 2017 Sierra 1500 all terrain X. Appreciate any help.

Lost one of the high chrome fasteners for the air flow sensor when I took it off the 16. I contacted Cold Air Inductions and they sent me a set for free so I would rate their customer service as good. Dang thing is pricey though. Shoot now that I have thought about it I might just pop that puppy on there first thing in the morning no need for it to just be setting on the shelf in my garage!  VROOOMMM

I’ve done my research and can’t find anything wrong with the cold air inductions intake minus the price tag. The S&B boasts an improved filter with better air flow plus a true cold air box. I’m leaning more towards the S&B mainly bc they seem similar but a huge price difference. I’ve also seen a lot of members have them installed and love them.

I have the Airaid intake TUBE only.  Factory air box.  Running a WIX K47 "High capacity Z71" air filter.  When I had the air box out I also noticed on the part that goes through the fender, what looked to be stamp outs for more or bigger holes.  So I used a 1" Paddle bit, twice and dremeled it clean to match the punch lines.  Turns out I was on our forum a few days later and it's the 6.2L air boxes that have those knockouts cutout.  So basically I have a 6.2L air box, K47 GM code "high capaicity" WIX filter and the Airrad MIT pipe.  LOVE IT.  I refuse to run foam filters.  For filtration and MAF cleanliness, Paper filters are king.  Yes you can hear my intake clear as day when on it.

I actually saw a video on that not too long ago. Was curious if that actually worked or not. Good to know! Thx

Not sure what your price range is but the GM Performance cold Air Intake is awesome!  Goes really well with my Borla exhaust.

This may be a stupid question, but how much “colder” is the air with a CAI? I have the torque app and when I look at the intake temp it is almost always with in 1-2 degrees of the ambient air temp. So with that being said, do they really flow that much better than stock to make up for their price tags?

I would think flow is a more significant variable than temp. Cant do much about the ambient temp once you get around sucking engine bay heat.

AFE Momentum GT has the best dyno proven results for the 6.2L, not sure what the best one for the 5.3L is. More for a raw sound than true performance anyway.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
