Just installed my GMPP CAI kit. Installation was fairly easy and the directions were spot on. Took about an hour to install. Now waiting for my Granatelli Spark Plug Wires to arrive so I can install them...

 

Also on the List is a new Granatelli MAF (due out in about 3 or 4 months according to Granatelli Support).

The installation looks nice...you need to clean that engine compartment now. :driving:

FYI: I have never read a favorable report on a GRANATELLI mass air flow sensor...you might want to do some research on that product before purchasing.

Owners of LT1 motor '94-95-96 Impala SS and LSx motor Corvette owners all recommend staying away from that product line.

Nice intake. I wouldn't waste my money on the new MAF sensor though, you won't gain anything. Use the money towards an exhaust system or better yet get a custom tune.

I installed mine last weekend, though mine has a white paper filter rahter than red/orange in color as your pictures show. Does anyone else have one with a white filter?

The only ones I have seen with the white filter have been for the 800 series trucks.

looks great man! I agree with hotwheels57, it does need a good wipe down! is there any way u can put up a sound clip of it for us???

 

 

Yes, I've been negligant in cleaning the truck lately. It's been too hot and I just didnt want to deal with the heat. I'll clean it up.

 

As far as a sound clip, I'm sure I could accomidate. It will take a me a bit as I need to find a cell phone or otherwise to record audio. I can tell you that like all "CAI" installations, you'll hear the engine more through the intake. Although this one isnt nearly as loud as the FIPK I installed on my '02 F-150 a few years back.

 

Probably because there's a lid on it, where the FIPK was exposed in the engine bay.

 

I can say that with the CAI, and the GMPP Exhaust along with the 87 Octane tune on a Diablosport Predator, this thing runs like a raped ape now. I was cruzing on the highway a bit ago, and was doing 70, then I mashed the throttle, and I was at 80 miles an hour in about a second or a second and a half. The Diablosport programming allowed the tranny to drop all the way to 2nd, then it just took off...

A better question, is how/where do you obtain the replacement filters once this one is dirty? I'ts not like a K&N where you can just wash it out (I'm assuming)?

Mine has the white paper filter too. What's really interesting is the fact that Brian bought his from the exact same eBay seller as I bought mine from.

Hey whats the parts number and the GM CAI for the 6.0L. I was at the dealer last week and they told me that they don't have a CAI for the 6.0L yet only for the 4.8/5.3L. Is there and difference?

Very interesting on the color. I picked up mine from GM parts direct about 2 weeks ago. Maybe the orange/red is just colored paper to make it look like a k&n...

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By chris21 · Posted

      37's would probably fit with a 3" lift. GM only has two gear ratios for these trucks 3.73 for gas and 3.42 for diesel. And they can't be programmed for anything else at the moment. The rough country module just corrects the speedometer and odometer to adjust for tire size it's not a programming device.   You haven't said if your truck is gas or diesel, but for a gas truck the 10L1000 with 3.73 gears has a lower final drive ratio than the 6L90 it replaced would if it were swapped to 4.10s. GM used the same 3.73 gearing in 6 speed gas trucks. I don't think you'll have any issue running 37's with the 10 speed other than the reduction in mpg and towing/weight capacity which is as much of a function of the lift as the tire size.

      Actually, it probably was the brakes.  It's weird the way the messages came across, but I took it to the dealer thinking that something was wrong with the sensor and in fact, the rear brakes were shot.  What I don't understand is why the messages never said, your brake pads are low.  First I got the message I posted above, taking about new pads being detected.  Then I got a message saying that the system needed repaired.  It never said, change your brake pads.

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      By ryan35205 · Posted

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      OCI, not when but why?

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.
