I’m getting my hands on a used s&b intake. Pretty excited about it after reading all the reviews. I like to drive in sport mode due to throttle response being better. I’m hoping the intake helps with the throttle response being in normal mode.

Did you keep the port open or closed?

I have had mine on for over 8k miles with all ports open and have zero issues or codes????
 

make sure you disconnected battery for 2 hours and take off filter life in your settings area on dash

I disconnected my battery during install, took my time and it lasted right at 2 hours. Just 2 hours total is all you need it disconnected for.

Curious what benefits everyone is witnessing:

 

1. Engine sound

2. Power gains

3. Fuel mileage gains?

Engine sound is the main thing. It has better throttle response, and works well with my Corsa exhaust. 
Exhaust is going to give you the best bang for your buck.  When I installed my Corsa driving home from my father’s shop. I set the cruise and drove it normal like I did when I had stock exhaust on and the computer showed 22.1. On way down I checked and it said 20.6. It was a nice 70 degree night. So take it for what’s it worth. It breathes a $h!t ton better now with the exhaust flappers off. They have the most restrictions. My problem is now with them both on I love to hear the V8 (what/why I bought the truck) so my MPGs are not that good??. I’m usually at 18 to 19 ish.

Do you ever get a drone-y sound on a light tip in of the throttle?  Like it's hovering between quiet and that heavy bass note that wide open gets you?  Makes me a bit nuts.  Considering trying to plug the one hole and see if it's any better

 

EDIT:
Or maybe a loud exhaust will cover that up :)

That’s probably from the DFM, mine does that now even without the intake. When the truck is running on 6 or 4 cylinders it drones terrible

I do get that once in a while. And yes, it’s because I believe sucking air from the fender area. I’m used to it and yes the exhaust does cancel it out.

How can I go about ordering the S&B if I live in California...? Besides moving out of California... [emoji41]

If you know someone that doesn’t live in commiefornia ship it to them and then have them ship it to you via ups. Paying double postage but you’ll get it there

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
