Engine noise through intake

I have a 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 with a stock 5.3L and the truck has 211k miles. The engine was replaced with a Jasper engine 1000 miles ago, that has the AFM deleted, and since then I've noticed louder than normal engine noise through the intake while accelerating. Sounds like it has a cold air intake, but its the factory intake and air box. It acts like timing is retarded, yet all is normal on the scanner and no codes generated. I checked the whole intake system for cracks or splits but all is good and sealed. I'm beginning to think it's the programming from GM's latest calibration since I haven't found anything wrong elsewhere. As a tech of 35 years, I'm perplexed and I've even enlisted the help of at least 6 other techs, including the GMC dealer,  that just shrug their shoulders after checking it out because they're also perplexed. This is my last resort in an attempt to get to the bottom of this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You said the AFM boondoggle was deleted, which is great. I think the engine probably has an AFM delete kit which is new lifters, cam, valve springs, push rods, etc, which makes for a much, much better breathing engine. I would be very happy with it. You have 8 cylinders breathing air as they were meant to. Just my opinion since I have a 2013 GMC with the 5.3 LC9. It is programmed to not cut back to 4 cylinders, but it still isn't the air pump it's supposed to be. I reiterate that I believe you have a V8 engine doing what it's supposed to be doing.

Update. Had it dyno tuned and all is good. Runs better than it did when it was new. Still say GM's programming was the problem.

      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.
