So I'm fighting with my dealership about having to pay for the re-flash, which is in included in the price of the intake. I've been searching and can't find the actual instructions, all they sent with mine is the one page with the authorization code for it to be done. Does someone have the actual instructions or the document id# for them, my dealership is being super shady about it and I really do not want to pay to get the re-flash done if I don't have to.

Here is the paperwork that came with mine. I installed myself and just had the dealer flash it yesterday, they just need to follow those directions and call the GM number.

Good luck.4caa773ca0d3d1e38b13492a5e89fdb5.jpg

Just self installed the GM Performance intake.  Anyone else notice the “CAL” indicator in the lower left of the DIC upon first startup.  I haven’t had the dealer flash the ECM yet so not surprised but hadn’t seen anyone mention this before.

Nevermind.  I think this was actually referring to the navigation compass making contact with the satellites as the message appeared in the area compass heading is normally shown.  Feeling kind of stupid.  Haha.

Ok, so I have a question.

I have a 19 Sierra Denali 6.2 I'm planning on installing a K&N CAI.

Will I need to get the ECM re-flashed or calibrated?

And if yes, WHY?

 oh! I actually have two questions 

Can somebody explain to me why the closed CAI are showing higher gains VS open CAI.

thank you,

Yes and no. If you change the airflow it would be a benefit to alter the tune to match but not necessary. Lots have done a cai over the years never tuning for it. 
 

Closed vs open-closed is a controlled environment drawing air from outside the engine bay while open is sucking in super heated air. Cold air is better.

Sweet, 

great information. 
I agree all of my trucks have always had a CAI and I have never done a tune, however I do see the Benifits of doing so. 
thank you, for you time and information

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
