I had a promotion coupon for realtruck.com so I figured I would apply it to the S&B CAI I’ve been eyeing up. It’s been saying it’s backordered for 2-3 weeks for a little bit. Now it says 30-40 days. I ordered it anyway to take advantage of the deal. 
 

After chatting with S&B support they say that’s the best estimate they can give at the moment. My guess it could be longer. She said it is due to a change in process of production for safety measures, due to COVID of course. 
 

Just an FYI for those that are interested and have been trying to wait out the backorder. It’s not getting better any time soon.

That stinks man. I waited 2 months for mine. I do like it but wish it was more factory looking. My 2018 looked like a Rotofab and was clean looking.  This new intake is MASSIVE!!!  Takes in most air and least restrictive out of all intakes

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the S&B. I don’t plan on looking at it too much lol. I’d rather it work well and look goofy then look great and work like $hit for a performance part. 
 

I just received an update from Realtruck this morning eta 11/6-11/14. Oh well.

That was same estimate that had 3+ months ago as well. They.re realistically 2+ months out from most vendors I've spoken to. Although they are around $50 cheaper than others the wait my not be worth it. I picked up a K&N for mine as well as my brothers and we love them. As an alternative.

Just received an update from RealTruck.com. Looks like I'm not receiving my intake until late December. Around 90 days after ordering it!

 

Not blaming them for anything outside their control... more an FYI for those who want one.

 

Looks like this will be a spring 2021 project at this point.

I was thinking the same thing!

 

If I get it in time I may have to wrap it for myself and open it in front of the wife just to see the look on her face. lol

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.

      I had a boat for many years, never had a problem even with a 2 wheel drive 93 Silvy for 20 years. Good tires, proper use of the gas pedal worked.

      I read through that and I won't lie, my eyes rolled at some of the quirks about how it can turn off the trailer braking for example but I can see how it could help control or even up the torque applied to the ground with each wheel in a boat ramp scenario. But of course what it can't do is increase the torque to the wheels if the need is there as it ends up being like driving the four wheel drive version of a two wheel drive ( high range that is ). So far the neighbor that ended up with the 3.0 duramax with the max tow package which meant the 3.73 gears and high range only, I think its been doing ok for what he has been towing but doubt he ventures off into the soft stuff with his holiday trailer. He may have towed his dads river boat locally with it ( he always used his 6.6 duramax before ), I'll have to ask him sometime if he got into a lack of power to the wheels situation as after all that engine produces a lot of torque at low speed once the turbo winds out a bit and I think it has the 10 speed and if so they have a pretty good first gear ratio at 4.70 I see which is vastly better than the 3 or four speed overdrive models of years ago.
