Has anyone replaced the factory intake setup with an Airraid Junior kit? It's just the middle intake tube, re-uses the factory intake box. I had one on my 2012, with a dry drop in filter. Made more... noise. Maybe a little quicker throttle response. I searched here, but didn't find anything. My 2024 Sierra has the 6.2. I wouldn't be expecting more than a 15-18 hp gain...

I originally installed just a AFE dry flow drop in filter on my truck. Couple years ago I put in the K&N kit that's similar to the Airaid Junior kit. It just replaced the factory intake tube and silencer. I didn't notice any more noise or power. I kept the AFE filter instead of putting the K&N from the kit in.

Is the AFE a dry filter, or does it require oiling? I had a K&N years ago on another truck, and it got old keeping it clean and oiled..

AFE is dry filter, which is why I went with it to start with and kept it instead of the oiled K&N. I have oiled filters on other vehicles but it's because they were put on before dryflows were a thing.

I had great torque and power gain from S&B Cold Air intake system it was a way bigger filter than a K&N

Yeah sure you did you must sell them. Alot of people fall victim to these. They make more noise thinking you have more power.

Oh, but they do. There’s studies to back it up. My trailblazer ss had a filter much like those cold air set ups from the factory. The last TV show that did a test on cold air intakes I saw was motor week. They even claimed fuel mileage gain. They have a garage segment that was very informative. Sadly the long time host of the segment recently passed. I have been a big user of those products. Basically anything that adds performance like tuning and exhaust. Sure sound does add to the experience. The gains are real.

The gains you say is nothing your going to feal they can claim all they want even if it's .3 mpg or 2 hp increase but your not going to feal its not like the poster said of great power and torque. Also if you do multiple dyno pulls on one motor the numbers won't be the same everytime. 

I use to watch motorweek but they started catering to foreign vehicles a long time ago and always found faults in America vehicles.

at 106km brought my truck to 10.3/100km and increased my fuel mileage. I was getting 500km ish per tank, brought it up over 600km gas light and  well 660 to fully empty per tank, and my truck has 34.5x12.5x20s. than after I put a pulsar LT in and was getting 9.3/100km at 106km, and around 700km gas light and 760 ish fully empty a tank I drive the same 1200km every two weeks to and from work monitored my truck alot. So to say the S&B did nothing besides make noise I find not true.  

 

That's not running in SPORT or Off Road Mode

Running Level 1 on Pulsar LT

2021 5.3 RST 

87L Tank

 

As for a dealer of air intakes nope. Im a Heavy Duty Equipment Technician for Toromont CAT up in the Lower Artic Circle

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
