Very curious what the members that have used this intake for a few months now think? Any feedback fellas?

Been going great for me since I put it on in early October. Probably around 4k miles without any issues at all. No check engine lights, errors or other odd behavior. Truck drives and shifts better than ever.

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.

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 instru

I have not seen an answer to why this CAI does not require an ECM refresh but the GM one does.  Can someone explain that?

While I can't comment on any of our competitors, I can tell you a few things about our development process.

 

During development one of our main goals is to produce a system that will perform great on the factory calibration. This is no easy task, especially on newer GM vehicles. We implement unique development and prototyping methods which allow us to test over 100 different configurations on the road and track. By closely monitoring and logging pertinent data over the course of many months, we arrive at what we consider to be the “perfect” cold air intake for the vehicle. Then we tool up for production and prepare for release. At Roto-fab, the constant chase for perfection is the real motivation for everything we do.

Thanks for your interest! Please let us know if you have any more questions about our CAI.

Pulled the trigger on one of these today, looking forward to installing and the subsequent gains in performance, sound, MPG and of course aesthetics, it's a great looking intake!

Installed my Roto-Fab intake, I'm pleased. Looks great, with good quality components and R&R instructions.

I like that it's not obnoxiously loud when I step on it but you can tell it's there, it's more of an aggressive intake sound now...like it's growling!

The truck feels strong under heavy acceleration, still stock exhaust but you can note a slightly deeper note at idle and rev!

Fuel economy....we'll see!

I like it!!

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
