Awesome, good deal!  Glad nothing was wrong with the intake or your truck. Mine is still on back order!  UGH!!!  S & B states it will be shipped out August 14th. Same time my new Corsa Exhaust comes in. So I can put them on at same time. 

Where did you order it from? They must have had to shut down production for a while for this long of a back order...

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

Just installed mine last night. WOW! Directions are crystal clear, install took less than an hour, and it looks fantastic! The sound is incredible. If you DON'T want to hear it sucking air when you ge

Through Realtrucks.com they took my order without knowing they were on backorder. Wasn't very happy.  Called their customer service lady and she assured me they have the order, so I also called S & B to verify my order number and mailing address and the woman there was very helpful and stated they production was on halt because of the pandemic, but assured me they were going to be ramping up production beginning of August. 

Then Realtrucks just sent me delivery estimate on both the CAI and Corsa Exhaust on 14th and 17th of this month.

I did that initially, and I just repeated the process last night. I disconnected the battery for 3+ hours, but when I went to the air filter monitoring system, I now do not have an option to disable it... It only shows up red and says "check system".

How did you get this to clear? Mine will not let me clear it either?

I had to bring it into the dealer and they had to clear the system, reset it and disable the air filter monitor. I couldnt do it myself.

I have gotten the white disposable one on last 2 trucks. I took my older one out about 30k miles and lightly ran air through it like stated on their website. I believe it’s good for about 50k miles. Don’t quote me on it. Also I’ve never had really good luck with the oiled ones. Always messed with my MAF sensor.

Update, this was my fault... Got the air filter monitor reset and disabled, correctly this time. No more lights!


I have the same issue as you had. How did you get it reset correctly?

      Hey guys, sorry for the confusison about this. This wasn't my experainnce, it was copied and pasted fom the net.

      The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda.

      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/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      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

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      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.
