Been trying to decide which intake to do. I've always been a K&N guy and nearly went with them again until I had someone recommend S&B they weren't sure if they made one for the T1s yet but they do. She's a sexy beast and the filter that comes with it is gigantic! Sound is amazing you can hear her sucking all that air.

It's legitimately huge (yes those are 5 gallon buckets it's nearly as tall as one) I wasnt sure it would fit until it did.  Here's a link to it for the 6.2L version.  https://www.sbfilters.c

@GA_LTZ   You have to make sure you disconnect the battery for 2 1/2 hours on these new trucks. I spoke with the technician at S & B. This allows the computer to relearn the new air flow of t

It can use up to 3 places to get air from. These on the side that pulls from the headlight/wheel well, the factory location, and there is a big panel on the side that pulls from the engine bay if I'm not mistaken but it does come with a cover for that one if you live in dusty or warmer environments.

That is weird I got mine from a local dealer for them. Might want to give that a try.

I ended up finding it online. Could only find one store with stock. Do you find you get better fuel economy with it ?

Only had it for 1 day now and have found myself "getting on it" more to hear that roar ?? I can't imagine it would affect the fuel economy that much but I'll update after a week or so with my findings.

Have you got a check air filter system error. Mine popped up a couple days ago can’t figure out how to clear it.

You have to go into your settings on the dash using your toggle buttons on the steering wheel. Find the air filter and select it to disable it.

 

BTW. I am ordering my S & B intake tomorrow. I had one on my 2018 Sierra and I loved it. The fit and finish is excellent and I did a lot of research on CAI, and they allow the most air to the engine. They don't claim HP/TQ numbers like others, but they claim the most air flow, and like the pictures show, the air filter is ginormous!

I had an S&B on my 2006 2500HD, as well as my 2018 Denali and both were great!

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
