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

    • No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.
    • Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.
    • There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing. 
    • I dont care what Lake says. Goodnight. 
    • Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
