AFE CAI

About to place my order. Any notable sound difference? Did you order the programmer? If so, what type of results have you seen or felt? My AT4 came with the performance exhaust, but not the intake so I’m trying to complete the system.

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Yes. 'It has a low growl with the plug installed, if you want it loud remove the plug and its has a real loud and throaty sound. It does feel like there is less lag when pushing on the accelerator. I didnt get the tuner, but they are having a 15% off sale this weekend and may look into picking it up.

is that an opening in the front side of the lid?  That doesn't makes sense pulling in hot engine bay air on top of the rest of the air.  Why would they do that I wonder?

Yes, It is an opening. They include a plug for it which I use. According to the manual, that opening is there for more performance gains. I will say this, with the plug removed it is really loud and throaty. Didnt really notice any difference performance wise from the plug in or removed.

Do you know the difference between getting the dry filter vs the oiled one? The one I see on amazon is for the oiled filter.

I don’t know if I can explain it, but it’s basically as it says, there is a dry filter which is dry like a OEM filter and an oiled filter in which you clean and re-oil when dirty. I’ve sure someone will be able to explain better than me though.

You will get so many different answers, but eppieguy is right, they both do the same thing. The big difference is normally dry filters have more layers to catch dirt, whereas the oiled one dont and use the sticky oil to catch dirt. You talk to one person and they will say not to use a oiled filter in super dry and dusty climates because it will clog up quicker, and another person will say it wil catch more dust in those climates than the dry one. i personally dont like oiled filters because Im sure I will forget to oil it when its time to re-oil it haha. Both do the same thing just in different ways.

Dry ones don’t last as long Like 10,000 miles/ keep stock horsepower  .  Oiled ones (usually the K/N style ) usually say they last million miles / usually give you couple more horsepower/ Better gas mileage / flow better .

 

On a previous vehicle I owned i used the oiled K/N style and shortly after started having issues with my mass airflow sensor and I took the filter out and never had more probs. The oil isn’t supposed to do that but it did in mine / heard it has in others too.  Might depend how close the sensors located .  This was a Ford Explorer I had years ago.

I’ve heard of the oil issues affecting the MAF and it was usually caused by over oiling the filter. I ran K&N oiled filters on all of my GM vehicles since 99 and never once had that issue myself.

You’re correct, added a brand new K&N to mine and immediately noticed it was dripping oil right out of the bag, installed it and later found independent tests showing K&N had the worst dirt filtration and so I dumped it and installed a wix which was the highest rated. I don’t mind switching out my air filter ever 10K miles, better than having oil run in places it shouldn’t be.

K&N filters suck oil through. In most cases, you will find it has sucked through to the MAF sensor giving you bad readings. If using a K&N filter, it’s prob best to spray the least amount of oil on it and just clean it really often.

Installed my winter wheel/ tires (groan) these were the oem 18's from my previous gen Sierra only thing I had to do was have the tpms sensors changed.

Well, the puppy threw up. So I learned how to dismantle the interior to clean it.....

Yikes!!!   I recently picked up a new puppy in mine. He has ridden like twice since. So far no accidents. This makes me think twice!!!

Hmmmm. Like that. Have to decide where to put it. 
 

did you drill and mount it?

Yes, drilled out the dash. The switch body is threaded so the retaining clip is behind, and tightens down to hold it in place.

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.

      That makes sense, and I agree with most of that.   I think the product would need both: 1. a default powertrain template, so it is useful out of the box; 2. user-selected priority parameters, so the owner or shop can choose what they want to see first.   Different users are going to care about different things. One owner may care about oil pressure and voltage. Another may care about misfire trend, AFM/DFM behavior, or U-codes. A shop may want communication events and repeatability first. Your baseline point is probably the most important one. Raw data is not very useful unless the report can show what normal looked like for that vehicle under similar conditions.   The way I would think about it is: - start with a basic known-good baseline - learn normal behavior for that specific vehicle over time - allow the event to be overlaid against baseline - show whether the event was a one-time spike or a repeatable pattern - provide a simple severity level, but with clear limits on what that severity means   For example, early severity could be something like: - Info: event captured, no obvious abnormal pattern - Watch: value moved outside baseline, but not repeated - Warning: repeatable abnormal pattern under similar conditions - Critical: communication loss, voltage drop, bus-off, reset, or severe repeated event   I would not want the first version to say “replace this part.” That would be overclaiming unless there is repair-confirmed data behind it. It would be more honest to say “this pattern deserves inspection.”   On the OBD port question, I think OBD absolutely has a role. OBD is probably the right place for: - DTCs - freeze frame - VIN - calibration information - normal scan-tool parameters - Mode 6 / enhanced diagnostic data if available The reason I am still looking at an ECM-side recorder is that the failure may happen before anyone connects a scan tool. If the owner plugs in a scanner after the event, the pre-event evidence may already be gone unless the ECU happened to save it. So I do not see this as “OBD versus ECM-side.” I see it more like: - ECM-side recorder: always armed, rolling buffer, event evidence - OBD/DLC companion: DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration, normal scan data - phone/cloud: status, notes, upload, report generation, notifications   I agree that phone connection and push notifications would be useful. I just would not want the phone or cloud connection to be required for capture. The recorder should save the event locally even if the phone is not connected. The phone should help with event marking, download, notes, upload, alerts, and report viewing.   For a default GM V8 event report, would this list make sense? - RPM - calculated load / MAP - throttle position - vehicle speed - gear / torque converter state if available - coolant temperature - oil pressure - oil temperature if available - battery voltage - commanded AFM/DFM state if available - actual AFM/DFM state if available - misfire counters / roughness by cylinder if available - fuel trims - relevant U-codes / communication events - bus-off / lost periodic message / module reset / voltage drop events Which of those would you remove, and what would you add?
