Anyone try the banks 41858 cold air intake?

No advertised power gains but increased flow by 29%

 

They have dry and oiled options. 

 

Wish Blackbear Performance tested it in their CAI tests.

Here’s some YouTube videos. In the comments, he states that it increased intake noise but no noticeable change in power.

I’ve got one with the dry filter. You can definitely hear it sucking air more than the stock set up. I think it lessened the throttle lag a little, from a stop. At WOT it sounds good. I hope it’s as good as the best of the others.

Banks does a lot of research and their customer service is golden (in my experience) I liked the appearance of the intake tube, the moulding shape is sharply designed, it looks “clean”. The port for the MAF is sturdy and well located. I like the plexiglass window on the enclosure that allows me to see the filter. It draws cool air in from the fender and beneath the tray that it sits on. To me,  it looked like the best one of the bunch.

I've got the same kit on my 2014 Silverado LTZ 5.3L.  It definitely sounds more "throaty" when you accelerate hard.  It also helped clean up the engine bay a bit as well and allows you access to the belt area.  As far as performance, I definitely feel a stronger pull from a dead stop and when you have to accelerate hard on the freeway.  Was well worth the investment in my book.  Hope this helps!

Did you go with dry or oiled? Oiled you can clean, dry you need to buy a new one from banks? $100

Dry filters can also be cleaned [emoji106]

No, man. You just clean and reinstall it. Dry is for people that live in dusty, desert environments where an oiled filter would become caked with lightweight dust very quickly.

 

i really think the Banks tube is the best of them all.. the filter box is great as well, IMHO.

i can’t find fault with it. If you buy one, don’t pay MSRP. Get a Black Friday or other sale. IIRC I paid around $320.00 shipped. with my military discount and whatever sale Banks had going on. I did buy directly from them.

Wondering if these fit a 2018 5.3 with e-Assist? Their website doesn’t even list a 2018 1500 as an option.

Yes it fits. They haven’t updated their site. 2014 - 2018 are the same.

Good to know. I sent a text to their 800 number. They’re going to confirm tomorrow. I can wait a day even though I’m sure you’re right.

Are those codes readily available or is that only during sales?

Been a long time since I’ve seen codes on those sites.

Guessing there may be more after Thanksgiving.

If you order from autoanything, they will match competitors price or beat if by a few bucks if you chat before ordering.

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
