Just curious as to what different folks have for air intakes.

 

I have the GMPerformance, cost a lot more than the K&N, but it looks much nicer. Chromed intake tube, and chrome cover for the filter box. Has cone filter inside box. I installed same time I did the magnaflow exhaust.

 

Let see if the picture works...

I installed the K&N FIPK in my 01 a couple years ago looks good I did see a difference when I had the dual hooked up now I don't know. From this site I learned that the trucks already come with the cold air intakes so now I questioned was it really worth it? How much was the GM? When I got the K&N it was around $279

I got it for 320, list is 400, but I found a coupon from my dealer. I could tell a difference, but I did both exhaust and intake at same time, but at least it looks nice!

WTF is that all about?

 

I have the Outlaw intake on mine. I love it. Had the K&N for 3-4 years on the last truck and hated it. Too noisy, gets dirty really fast, and I didn't like the fit/finish.

I have the Fram Boost system.... works pretty well. You can really hear the air sucking in at higher RPM's. Intake tube looks a little straighter than the GM

Except now you don't have a CAI. The slightly better flow is probably offset by the higher temp air you are sucking in from the engine compartment.

 

Its pretty though

That was one of my reasons for going with the GMPerformance, it is not wide open to suck in hot air from the engine. The fender side is almost completely open, which is where the stock filter get sthe air from.

I like the looks of the GMPP unit you have. I have a VaraRam King Cobra (don't waste your money) but my sis works for a dealership. She may be able to get me a very good price on the GMPP one. What was the part#, do you remember?

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
