The GM one isn't approved yet for 2021 unless it was ordered and factory installed. Dealers cant put them on yet so they wont sell them right now.

Only for 2021?  I have it on my 2020.  I did the install myself (except the tune that was done by the dealership).  It came with a sticker I had to place under the hood to prove CARB compliance.  Seems strange it would be good one year, but not the next, and nothing changed.

Sounds like it’s only for 2021s right now. If it’s ordered and factory installed and delivered that way its fine, it’s just the dealer installed ones after purchase. 2019 and 2020 have CARB approval so not an issue. It sounds like it’s in process for 2021s so just a matter of time before it will be OK for a dealer to add on afterwards. Realistically you could probably install it anyway as no other CAI comes with a tune but those also advertise as also not being CARB client. I’m sure the CARB approval comes with some minor adjustments to AF ratios with the tune which is where the testing comes in and the delay in releasing it. I put intake and exhaust on almost everything I buy and never get things tuned unless it’s an OEM option.

 I just recently found out someone online found  part number 84789802 is CARB approved with an EO number from GM directly which includes an ECU flash in part of your part purchase done by the dealer.  Still searching for verification and I did ask the online Youtuber who posted the video where I can find it.

 

I've been scouring the net and nothing for the past 6 months.  Hopefully he's right.... Repost/reply if someone else in the thread locates or finds it online.  I will continue my search. 

 

Aside from that.... Its the K&N 57 Series OEM Performance Air Intakes 57-3108

Regarding CARB compliance, what's the big deal?  The current test in California is really nothing more than looking for a CEL light.  At least, that's how it was for my test in October, so please correct me if I'm wrong.  I was in and out in a matter of minutes.  Iirc, the guy hooked up an OBD2 scanner, and that was it.  Gave me a printout showing I passed, which I mailed to my home state to prove compliance.  I live in San Diego, but a Utah resident.  I was prepared to point out the CARB compliance sticker, but the tester never opened my hood.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
