So just put this in yesterday. So far I really like it. Fitment was perfect, quality was awesome, and it really cleaned up under the hood. Now I didn't buy it thinking I'd get insane performance, just strictly as a helper to go along with my exhaust and future custom tune. With that said, I was very impressed and surprised the performance bump. Throttle response is definitely up as you lay into the throttle as well as a little bump in MPG. Did a 100 miles yesterday with a mix of 70/30 city/highway. Seeing a bump of about 1. 5 mpg. I'll have to do a few hundred miles and hand calculate it in the coming weeks, but very happy thus far. Lastly, the sound. Idle, easy acceleration, and cruising are dead quiet. Once you get do some harder pulls into the 3k range the engine really comes alive and really complements my Corsa exhaust. So for 300 bucks I'd say it was definitely worth it and I extremely happy. I'll keep you guys posted. I know it's hard finding performance accessories for the late model 6.0s.

 

Side note: 2015 and 2016 and late models have different intake setups. So make sure if you go to order one that you specify you model year.

Thanks for posting. I see so many mixed reviews on CAI's for the 2500. Nice to see one that is realistic and not just hating on them for the sake of hating.

Which Corsa? I was looking at some - not sure what I'd like to do as I don't want it to be too loud, but a good rumble is nice!

 

Thanks for CAI info!

What Corsa exhaust do you have?
I wanted to get one for my truck but they do not list any fitment for the 2015 and up 2500-3500 6.0 trucks.

I just received my S&B for my 2015.  Getting a tune done after thanksgiving.  Nice to see someone else review a product I am yet waiting to install.  Right now with deer season and work, it'll be a few days before I get it installed.

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
