6.2 Mods

Yeah, the afe momentum seems to be the best one out there for the 6.2. I would have gone with it over the cold air inductions. I just didn't really like how it looked. Guess looks aren't everything though, haha.

I received my AFE Momentum CAI Friday. It took me about an hour to install it as I’ve never done one before plus I cleaned around the area while the stock air cleaner was removed.

 

The first thing I noticed was if you don’t get in to it, it’s quite. But when you accelerate, it’s pretty loud under the hood. I also noticed that it’s loud when I accelerate in V4 until it switches back to V8.

 

Overall, I really like it. I’m not sure if I noticed HP gains, yet, but my wife and I drove on a 75 mile round trip on the highway cruising at 72mph and I averaged 24.5mpg (25 mile average) which is the best so far but we’ve only had the truck a few weeks. On another similar  trip we took a week or so ago, we only averaged 22.3mpg. I believe if I’ll get better mpg on the highway.....or at least hope so. 

 

Im gonna leave the truck alone for now but I do think the CAI was a good investment.

 

Thanks for all the help, Kurt

Another quick update.....we have road construction on a local highway so the speed is down to 55mph. My wife set the cruise control to 60 and got 28.5mpg!!!

 

Also, one day when I was doing some running around, I nailed the throttle and the truck actually got a second gear scratch.......my 2015/5.3 would never do that. I’m very impressed with this truck!

 

Im still contemplating getting a hand held tuner.......but I’m not sure if the gains will be noticeable with a 6.2....... it seems that a 5.3 gets more out of one?
