Awesome! Congrats on your purchase, let me know how you like it and Ill post pic when mine is in.  Take care

I went with the aFe intake on my less than 2 day old TB 6.2L. Up next is their muffler delete pipe!

Ugh. That stinks man. I have waited over 2months for mine.   It’s in route Per UPS tracking# and supposed to be here Friday. If this new one is as good as my 18s was. It’s worth the wait.

I did install the Volant. Performance wise it is very close to the RotoFab. I live in Canada so with exchange the Volant is still pretty pricey. But much less than replacing the bottom part of the air box. The performance is good. The fit and finish is good. The pipe is super smooth on the inside, I was worried it wouldn’t be but it is. I wasn’t too worried about the look. I’m not showing my truck.

Install is done. Went ok. The 10mm nut holding intake housing box is kinda a pain. Need a small socket set or wrench. The intake cupler was a pain to get around the intake. Fit and finish is good. 
 

Man does it suck in air. You can definitely hear the difference. If u have an after market exhaust it just enhances it.

I just placed an order for the Cold Air Inductions filter. Saw this video by a guy who installed it in his Trail Boss, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J05bzfs2yTE.

There's another video out there by a guy who did a dyno run with this filter and saw I think 4-5 HP at the rear wheels. Not that impressive, but meh, it's cheap enough and it's something...

 

edit: found the other video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwpDqkqBCNg

Dropped the GM CAI in this morning. Didn’t even take an hour. Very happy with it, and can’t wait to hear it paired with my new catback exhaust, which the Chevy dealer is installing in about an hour. ??

BTW, anyone who installed the GM CAI... did you put those zip ties on that came with it? I didn’t see a need for them and the videos I watched online of other people installing their CAIs didn’t show them putting them on. Just curious.

Correct me if I am wrong but I recall reading somewhere that GM's Performance Intake requires a dealer calibration?

Yes.  It is included with the purchase of the CAI.

Thanks Nick,

That being said, wouldn't any CAI require the same?

    • Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/        
    • UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update  
    • GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.  
    • Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.
    • I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
