I recall reading about driving in heavy rain maybe instructions, this have any impact on bottom hole being open?

 

don’t think it gets real wet in that location.

Yeah honestly i dont see how it would help or hurt at all with the plug in or out. The instructions dont say what they are thinking, just that its optional. The truck gets plenty of air from the stock location, and the filter is huge. I only left it out in hopes it was louder that way.

Warmer day update. Its in the 60s here now and its still nice and loud, i know on previous vehicles ive had turbos get a lot louder in the cold. Averaging around 21mpg in 100% city driving.

Absolutely no turbo whine. There is more air flow sound, but not the old school flipping the lid on a quadajet, but more of a deep echo, xlr8ing . Nothing to take away from cruising 80 mph in sound co

Thoughts on heat soak in the summer time with the plug removed?

Probably slim to none. The vast majority of the heat from the engine is on the passenger side and the air forced through the area will be coming directly from the front of the truck.

What’s the consensus on dry vs oiled filter?

This is from sb themselves 

 

Both offer similar performance characteristics, so the decision comes down to would you rather throw away the filter or clean it.

Always wanted a filter you could just throw away
without sacrificing performance?

S&B's new Dry Filter is the answer.

  • Airflow comparable to cotton filters.
  • Same great protection S&B is known for.
  • Lasts up to 30,000 miles on the highway.
  • Extend the life of the filter using compressed air.

 

Personally I got the dry as it's the only one in stock right now

Did you call and they tell you it was in stock? Their website shows both on backorder.

Dang, I usually look a couple times a day. They've showed out of stock since they started shipping them on day 2.

 

Have you gotten a shipping notification yet? They can still be ordered now even though they are backordered.

Just got a email with tracking number this evening saying my backordered dry element style shipped today.

 

Should be waiting at the house before I return.

I ordered mine last night from S&B. They showed the dry element in stock so that's what I ordered as well.

Anyone install that can provide new feedback?

 

has there been any negative impact on mpg’s for those not using a heavy foot for throttle response?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Maybe.   Maybe.   I don't want to be the one that needs help and can't get it when I need it. That is a legitimate complaint, and how they respond to those legitimate complaints is a big red flag to me.   I don't care how good the product is their conduct is subpar. Some people are fine supporting that for the sake of getting the product they want. I'm not.   To be fair, I haven't seen or touched their product in person to determine for myself the quality of it. I'm not offering any opinion on that either.

      So if you do nothing and they act on their threats like death to America or Israel. And possibly a nuclear war. Whoever survives wonders why didn’t they listen? Or we do something like every President has said they can’t get a nuclear weapon. We’re at the 10 yard line and it happens the time is now or never. I think I’m ok with paying a little more for gas for awhile. It’s a shame that we now live in a world that’s so polarized.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      4-5-6 fails due to design.  Not enough clutches and not enough piston to clutch surface area.  Also the backing plate can bow.     I'd say converter is two part.  The design of converter chosen, and factory tuning of it aka slipping it in D (also L6) for AFM purposes, as well as locking it up in 2nd gear, sometimes 1st, also it will partially lock up at light loads.  All because CAFE/fuel economy requirements.  A billet converter on the stock tune might hold up better, but would still be subject to the stock tuning and how its designed to lock or partially lock.     The most baffling part to me, is the 2007-2013 6L80s didn't have the failure rate the 2014-2018 ones do.  I've been where I work for almost 17 years now, and I recall maybe 3 or 4 of the 07-13 transmissions getting pulled for something.  14-18 on the other hand, it was at a minimum one a month being opened up.    If I had to guess, I'd say the tuning for the gen 5 engines/6L80 setup and its fuel economy goals had a good bit to do with it.  Also, it was bankruptcy time during these years, so I'm thinking some cost cutting was done for the launch of the K2XX trucks.  See also now the 10 speed valve body issues (more cost cutting).  They blow out some mesh screen in the spacer plate, undersized check ball, and the feed limit valve was aluminum and wears out prematurely.         I don't think it was the HP jump from the gen 4 to gen 5?  The 6.2 in the 07-13 trucks was good for 380-400hp during its life/states of tune, and the 5.3 did 310-320hp.

      All this might be worth it had we actually recovered enriched uranium, a WMD, or an actual nuclear deal with oversight. This is a flub of epic proportion, and they all know it.   $5.10 at a station reporting $4.99 last week. Here we go....
