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

I had the high chrome Cold Air Inductions intake on my 2016 6.2 I liked the look and the sound.  I am contemplating installing it on my 17 I just have not gotten around to it yet. Lost one of the high

I have an ariaid MIT set up that is new with the dry filter that I bought for my 5.3 I wanted to put it on my 6.2 but the TB connector needs to be bigger. I've herd the tube is the same size for the 5.3 and the 6.2 so I keep the set up. I was thinking of selling it if I don't find the correct connector. Any know of the connector I need . Or anyone interested in the set up.

The Airaid site has a build your own section might check in there to see if they offer the collar separate. Thay also have a “chat” feature could ask them about it.

AFE's kit came with a reducer-tapered 5.3L intake boot and a larger straight boot for the 6.2L. I am not sure how Airaid does there kit, but it may come with both but make sure. If it was a straight boot, you could just get a silicon boot at any auto parts store but you would need the diameter of the tube, and the intake to source a boot. I still have my 5.3L boot for my AFE kit I would give away, but the tube is likely a different diameter than the Airaid.

I really like the new Intake. It’s done very well on some minor gains of mpg when I added bigger tires too. No complaints!!  My advice though, buy a second air filter to swap in. Will save a lot of headaches waiting on the filter to dry etc  before reinstalling

If you are using GM's filter it is disposable and not to be washable

Yep, but I bought 2 washable filters after I replaced it

Good idea bc that oil does take forever to dry and then you get oil on your sensor... warranty voided.

      Trim level custom/pro

      Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.

      Oil Consumption

      I think the ship has sailed on the fuel injection type - everything is getting direct now.  Does it help with mpg?  Not really and nobody buying a HD truck really cares anyway.  But that is what it is at this point.  Piston rings is something they may well adjust over time to get them right.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Another JR · Posted

      I don’t have detailed measurement data, but this past March we were hiking and camping in Death Valley and the Las Vegas area when this Spring’s heat wave hit with 105 plus temperatures and our 2021 L8T system kept our crew cab as cool as we wanted it (68F setting) with no trouble. Fan flows on auto once stabilized were fairly low. It seems like the OP’s system should be performing better.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      Yes that's correct on the route to Durango - we just followed what google maps recommended.  That is quite the pass btw - very steep going back down.  I didn't even need manual mode - I just used cruise control and set the truck at 50 I think when it was a 45 posted speed and for the most part it just held it there by keeping it in the right gear - everyonce in awhile there is a sharper turn that I just braked for - but it was pretty smooth going down it on both sides.  Amazing views around there for sure - we had no real time to stop, were on the clock for a set-up time, but we did stop in some 2 horse town somewhere a couple hours oustide of Durango in the middle of nowhere for burgers.   And yes - lots up up and downs on the Durango trip but I think it's a big difference going 70 vs. going 80-83 with the aero in play with these big trucks.  Even the much smaller Colorado does reallt bad on gas going up over 70, I think I would have been lucky to get 18 on that trip in the Colorado honestly.  The full size is definately more comfy for a long road trip too, and the amount of gear we had would have meant two vehicles if I still had the Colorado.
