Well after 2+ months, the Outlaw intake came in. It came in Friday but Ive been busy and just got a chance to take pics today. Quite a few people say they dont look good under the hood, but I think it looks pretty good.

Everything was smooth, only custom fabbing required was dremel-ing the hole in the airbox the filter goes in, I had to trim it up a tiny bit. There is a hole in the bottom of the box, its perfect for a ram-air scoop, I had no idea the box was designed with it. I should have got a pic of it, I will try tommo after I get done trying to stay awake at drill. I strongly advise this intake system for people looking into buying one. Great price, never oil dry filter that is washable, and a great look too. After installing the intake I also changed out the spark plugs with some NGK's, what a pain in the ass. I beleive the originals were still in, they had Delco and NGK on them :banghead: They were in decent condition, but had some carbon build up. Im guessing its because of age (if they were the original plugs), if not my tune. I told Jesse I had an air intake when he re-tuned my PCM for 93, because I was anticipating having the intake. Hopefully him tuning for me having an intake (and not having one yet) was the cause for my lower ET's at the track. I'll hopefully be returning to the track this week to see if that was the problem, and to have some fun aswell.

i am very pleased with my outlaw as well, i got the tube with the hemholtz resonator (boost bottle), engineered to provide a kick right at about 3500 rpm.

Yeah it would be nice to have the resonator. I read somewere, might have been an E-mail from the sales staff, but I guess a lot of owners were thinking it was a silencer. I'd rather have one, but oh well. Here is a pic of the hole in the bottom of the airbox.

Im not sure if a custom ram air would be beneficial enough compared to the effort. The lip around the hole is actually a good 2-3" long.

I haven't had the intake on long enough to see any mileage results, Im sure its about the same tho. The tune is great, its the best bang for the buck in my opinion.

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
