I started my install. Taking it slow. I ceramic coated the plastic pieces and air box [emoji16] The instructions are spot on very detailed (same as their other products). Ryan B.

Gonna try to get mine on tomorrow. Instructions look good and clear. Detailed with color photos. All the parts look really nice. Good quality kit.

Interested to see someone dyno the 6.2 with dfm and locked down computer. 

 

The engine they tested with would be the old tech 5.3 with afm which is still available in 2019 in some trims. 

 

Many are saying we won't see the gains with the new engine. Very interested to see someone dyno one to confirm before I purchase.

All I have done is unbox it.

I was curious why the GM CAI requires a reflash of the ECU but the ROTO-FAB unit doesn’t?

Not sure but GM just sent me this in the mail to put under the hood for emissions since I installed the GM CAI.

I like it.  Nice sound from under the hood.  For what it might add HP wise I can't tell.  Was it a waste of money, probably but since I don't have any other hobbies like most to me it was worth it.

Had a tight window before rain, but I managed to get it installed here this afternoon. Took about an hour, maybe a tiny bit more if you add in my OCD cleaning stuff, unboxing and memorizing the instructions.

 

Put about 35 miles on it so far in varying speeds/ conditions as a test, and trying to get it to relearn. Sound difference is good, not over the top but noticeable above 50% throttle. Nice roar at WOT. I have the loud GM catback so really not a huge difference to me. On a stock truck it would be more noticeable. When in DFM, it doesn’t have the super annoying “gulping” sound my Airraid MIT did on my 2016. So that’s good.

 

The other good news is, it was easy to put in, I have no CEL and it looks pretty cool. I will do some performance testing with my meter after it has had time to learn and after the rain goes away. I have about 10 baseline 0-60 runs so if I can match weather conditions, I should be able to check with some accuracy...if it helps, hurts or stays the same. Guessing it won’t make much difference but never know.

Couple more “during” pics I took. One is of the bracket for the new air box which might help it make sense for you installing, and then another with it about 80% done. Not really worth a write up, the instructions are spot on.

One question guys the instructions say (3) 100-120mm clamps and (1) 80-100mm. All of mine are 100-120mm.

Yeah, mine were all the same too. I suspect the smaller clamps they speak of are for smaller couplers that only the 5.3 kit would use/ include?
 

BTW, you win. I only spray waxed my kit. ?

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
