Installed a G.M.factory intake ststem on my 2020 6.2 trail boss and it seams 'slower'-slugish! Anybody have that experience?

I did not notice any difference at all on mine until the dealer did the MAF update that was included in your purchase price.  I have AFE on other vehicles and I like theirs better but I listened to the dealer regarding voiding the engine warrantee and bought theirs.  I installed it and they flashed it.  I also have the Borla exhaust and other then sounding great, I really can not testify to any huge power improvements but definitely no power loss on mine.

One of the idiotic dealers near me says it's $110 to flash the truck after I install the kit.  I told them that it is included in the purchase price and he said "only if they are paid to install it". How can dealers be so clueless?  Did you guys have to argue or was your dealer smarter than my dealer?

So agree with you on IDIOTIC dealerships. I am having the rear brake squeak and my dealership won’t fix it and said they can’t replicate.  I called the dealership where I bought truck and they said there is a TSB out on the rear brakes and they are covered but brakes now are in back order because of COVID-19. So how can one stealership state no TSB and the other pulls it right up. That right there p!sses me off.

You’re not alone. My local dealer pulled the same crap on me. I printed out the very clear instructions that say “dealer: flash labor code to (labor code)” and “flash included in the price of this product”... and they said the same thing: “Oh, that’s only if we install it for you.” ? ??‍♂️?

This is why you should always have the printed TSB in hand when you go in. Most of the service reps these days have no clue about any of this. Just like mine did when I told him my rear window was leaking, and he said I was the first one he’d heard of with that issue. ??

Is this the same upgrade as come with the Z71/X31 pkg?

No. Those trucks just have a “higher capacity” filter with the stock airbox and intake tube.

I noticed several months ago this accessory had disappeared off of the my.chevrolet.com website as an available accessory for my 2020 5.3L, though it was a listed accessory in July of 2020 when I bought the truck.  Gmpartsdirect.com is now showing this intake for both the 5.3L and the 6.2L as discontinued (gmpartsonline.net is still showing it available), but several months ago my dealership was able to still order one.  Not knowing how long the replacement filters will be available, even though it's going to be another eighteen or so months or so before I'll need to replace it, I went ahead and ordered one to put on the shelf.  Somewhere I read that K&N manufactured these intakes, assuming that's the case then they probably have a dry filter that will fit.

Likely pulled because they don't know when they will get more in stock.   There is a plastic shortage for numerous types of plastic.  Even the aftermarket SB unit has been "backordered - shipping soon" for months now.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      OCI, not when but why?

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.

      Engine Wear and ISO 4406   1.) Cold Starts. 2.) High Particle Count. 3.) Low operating temperature viscosity and high low temperature cranking viscosity. 4.) Depleted AW, Friction and Acid packages.  5.) High engine load.    https://me.caltexlubricants.com/en_me/home/learning/from-chevron/heavy-duty-diesel-vehicles-and-equipment/The-Importance-of-Clean-Engine-Oil-and-Its-Impact-on-Equipment-and-Business-Performance.html   High particle counts have five sources. 1.) They are manufactured within the engine. Both wear debris and amalgamation of degradation products and combustion driven soot (worse in GDI). 2.) They are ingested via intake air. Ever hear the best oil filter is a good air filter? 3.) They are entrained in the fuel. 4.) This one is insidious. They are introduced in 'fresh oil'. 5.) They are introduced during the oil change.   ISO 4406 is the test that measures and quantifies the combine effects of all of the above particle related issues. You can mitigate your way into multiples of engine life by being attentive to them all.    https://www.hyprofiltration.com/blog/is-new-oil-clean   (from the link above)    [Quote] What Is the Recommended ISO 4406 Cleanliness Code for New Oil?   A good upper limit for new oil cleanliness is 16/14/11 (ISO 4406). Typical new oil usually has ISO codes of 19/17/15 or worse, which is far too dirty for sensitive components. This can be a major cause of degradation and premature failure.
