I just installed the GM Cold Air Kit on my 2019 Silverado 6.2L. I had the chance to buy and compare both the K&N 63-3109 and the GM Part #  84789804. The price difference was about $85 more for th

Yeah I have mixed feeling about an intake.  After reading the thread by Rotofab and seeing all the opinions tossed back and forth.   For the price you're going to pay for an intake vs. the end hp/tq g

K&n has their 2019 Silverado intake up for pre order on their site. A rep told me they should ship out soon since production has started.

Does anyone know with the GM Part #  84789804 Cold Air Intake if the filter media can be washed and reused or not.  The instructions say to replace the filter with a new one part number 84428120 every 20K miles.  Every other dry media CAI is washable.  These filters are hard to find and expensive..

Need some advice.  Have A 2019 Sierra 1500 Denali w/ 6.2.  Can’t decide between the Borla Touring system or the S-Type.  Don’t really want to wake up my neighbors in the AM every day.  Also what would be the best CAI to use?  Thanks for any help on the subject.

GM Performance and Borla Touring are the same.  S-Type is louder.  I have GM Performance CAI and exhaust on my Trail Boss w/ 6.2.  When I start her up she has a decent bark and rumble until she I either put my truck in D or it's up to temp.  I've asked my neighbors if my truck is loud at startup.  They said they don't even hear it.

Looking to replace exhaust on a 2019 Sierra Denali w/ 6.2.  Should I put on the Borla Touring or the S-Type system.  Don’t want it too loud but also want to hear it.   Also, what CAI would you recommend?

 

Thanks for the help.

If you put in the GM CAI do you have to get the ECM flashed?  The other brands don’t require a flash?  Just wondering.

 

 Thanks 

When I purchased the GM CAI, the directions stated that it had to be flashed by the dealer and there was a code in with it that the dealer used.

If you don't get it flashed you could end up with a CEL

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
