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.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
