Hey guys,
I know somebody has to be running one of these already.. I just ordered the new afe cold air kit for my 6.6 gas. Anyone running one having any issues with the factory air filter usage meter? Can it be disabled? Does it pop a code or tell you to service your air filter every time you start the truck?

So far AFE seems be the only CAI for the 20/21 6.6 gasser.  I just jnstalled the factory Borla exhast and I`ve been looking at a CAI as the next upgrade.  Have you received/ installed yours yet?  Any impressions?

I ordered it Monday. It is on a 4-5 week back order so I cannot give you any real opinion on the product, However I am absolutely under impressed with the fact my card was charged twice and it still hasnt been corrected and the salesman on the phone got multiple spellings wrong even though I spelled everything multiple times for him.
The second person I have talked to seems to be much better and has promised to handle everything as well as match the price for the presidents day sale they just announced so I was happy with that.
I know when I had my 5th gen camaro a lot of guys ran their products and never heard a bad thing about them, but this is my first time going with their equipment. I have used K&N and roto-fab before. Roto-fab was supposed to have one first of the year but still zero updates on that and K&N wont even respond to me so I went with this one

I installed this on Sunday - no real impressions yet.  Install was easy enough, looks really good, more space in the engine compartment.  Haven't really noticed any big difference but hard to tell as truck already had loads of power.

 

Will also be adding a Borla cat back exhaust but factory Borla is to tame, waiting on the Sport from Borla to be released

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
