Hey Guys,

 

I've been checking out this board for the last month since I bought my 2003 Z71 in September and just registered today. I have to say that I like this site the best of all the forums that I've seen.

 

Does anyone have a MAC cold air intake? I know that they are big on making intakes for mustangs and thier price is very good. http://www.rpmoutlet.com/newgmcsuv.htm A friend of mine just bought a 360intake and he loves it but they recently jacked up the price. http://www.360airintakez.com/cat--Silverad..._silverado.html 360 is big in the mopar world.

 

I've done a lot of searchs and haven't found much info on either of these intakes. Anyone tried them?

i have the mac cold air intake on my truck, and it is really great. the system is made incredibly well, and looks killer. they use a huge chrome tube, instead of the cheap black plastic tube. i had it installed by the local 4x4 shop, so i can not tell you anything about install. my chevy truck LOVES it when it is cold outside, the colder the temp. outside the more she wants to run. you really notice the mac system when the air is cold outside, she just roars. :banghead:

Before you do anything read the posted link in the first post, especially looking at the charts.

 

Much of the power gains are from opening up the air box and replacing the restrictive intake tube. Personally I am going to go with a new intake tube then custom make some air box mods so my 8.1L gets some forced induction. Feeling the power gains and hearing more noise are two different things...Just ask someone running a dyno.

 

Oops forgot the link :banghead:Air Filter Study

I had one on my 02 and when i got my 04 it went on it, the install was about 20min. it took longer to take the factory box off than installing the tube. the only problem I had was i had the old type and the filter holder broke, but I called them and said that it broke and they sent me a new one with a improved design the next day.

 

the 02 very noticeable, but the 04 with TQM not much, will do better when i get the tune.

 

IMO-best for the price

Mike, you are correct on the least amount of restriction, but in closing they agreed that the A/C Delco filter flowed more than enough for any mildly modified engine. Most people are not running 500 BHP out of their engines. :cheers:

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
