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!

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      There's absolutely a mountain of profit in catering to the "I do my own research" crowd, people who are certain they know better. And I don't mean there isn't data to support that 0w40 produces less wear product than 0w20 in an engine like the 3.0 Duramax, that only feeds them the assurance they need. Again, my whole thing with oil selection is, sure, 0w40 or 0w30 produces less wear product. Are we talking the difference between the engine lasting only 100k versus 200k? Or are we talking more like, if the engine will already go 350k on a good 0w20 regimen recommended by the OE, is using 0w40 going to get us to 355k, assuming we can even get the rest of the truck to last that long, meanwhile sacrificing the first 5y, 100k in powertrain warranty. The answer isn't easy, there are tradeoffs.   I willfully use 0w20 Dexos D for this reason, knowing that a 0w40 will produce slightly less wear. I don't believe the delta in wear product is meaningful over the lifetime of the engine, and I place much more importance on driving style and overall feeding and care of the engine as a whole. It's the mentality that someone can abstain from alcohol their whole life which is an amazing boost to health by itself, theoretically. But if they're sedentary, that lifestyle choice will most likely kill them young despite their other, concerted efforts. Maybe someone doesn't drink AND they are the perfect picture of health and activity AND they use 0w40 AND they treat their engine perfectly. If living until 130 years is the goal, sure, do that. But it's going to be a really old truck falling apart around a good engine for that last 30 years, without a doubt.   I watched Demonworks' other video on the 100k+ 3.0 Duramax that had dealer 0w20 changes on what appears to be OLM-prescribed intervals (8-10k).   The QR codes are still present and readable on the main bearings. That's how little wear it has.   That's not proof that anyone else should stick to 0w20, but it's confirmation, for me, that 0w20 is perfectly acceptable to use in these engines.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      oh ya that's good to know - I would rather use a gear than the brakes down a long hill.  I would not let cruise control take over on snow or towing a trailer for sure on hills anyway.     The other thing about the CO trip was that was all done above 6K feet for the most part, so that has to use more gas as the motor is down a good amount of power up there.   If I drove my 2016 Camaro with a very similar V8 to this 6.6 it would probably get about 23-24 on the fast run up to NE.  But the premium fuel premium is steep here in CO, so it would still only save about $40 in overall costs for the round-trip.  And you sure can't carry much gear in a convertible camaro!
