Awesome! It does sound really good. We'll see what the Dyno says but either way, living the sound. My exhaust is completely stock, that will be an upgrade down the road for sure
@@TheSundaeDrive I hope it lasts, I got a good deal, go take a listen. Airaid dry in blue was more expensive 🥲 After that I want to do the driveshaft because that looks easier then the manifold swap 😅 I couldn’t imagine dropping something in 😂
@The Sundae Drive did it cost alot forthe custom transmission tune and I have the same 6l80e transmission I haven't changed the fluid I have 110,000 miles should I change it
I like it. One concern, however. With the PCV setup going back to the intake prior to the throttle body, I suspect the throttle valve will get wickedly dirty after a relatively short amount of time. I think the default setup for older (pre-2015) OEM is having the PCV come in through the manifold itself, post-throttle body. I'll be interested in knowing how it turns out down the road. Cheers!
I'm not so sure of that lower intake pipe on a 4wd truck. More of a straight shot for water from going through streams and also dust. Looks like the top metal brace rod will have to come out every time you service the air intake. The part you unclipped from your stock air box - what if I drill large holes around the intake snorkel. Looks to have plenty of material to do that. Is the opening larger on the inner fender to make use of the added drilled holes?
Yes I agree, I mentioned that lower intake pipe potentially being an issue if you do any serious mudding or wading with a truck. While I do go off roading occasionally, I never take the truck through deep water or mud so for me it's ok but could be an issue for someone else. If I'm understanding you correctly about the snorkel, I actually mentioned that too so we think alike lol. I think you could add it to the new box without an issue potentially.
hello, i have an 18 1500 denali 6.2, how can i tell if the driveshaft is upgraded? im the second owner and when i bought is it have lots of mods, trans, rear end, cam, inj, cai, tune.
...Why would anyone want to install an exposed air filter under a hood that can reach extreme tempatures above 150 degrees? All your doing is allowing a better breathing system take in the heat that the engine is giving off to recycle back into the intake.
I tend to agree as well, this was one of the better aftermarket airboxes I've seen for the truck which is why I went with it for now. I may swap it at some point if I find Something better. It is supposed to seal against the hood but I need to play with it more to see if it actually seals. I removed it immediately from the truck because we want to Dyno test the base air system and then swap this one on to see if it actually improves anything.
@@TheSundaeDrive keep us posted. I just have the airaid tube. Did it mainly to clean up the engine bay and free up a little airflow. I have the 6.2 motor in mine.
@@TheSundaeDrive Hello, Where can I get a bigger coupling in order to fit my Airaid air intake for a 6.2 intake manifold? Would you happen to know the size of the 6.2 coupling or the part number ? Thank you
I’m doing mine immediately! Thank you for the idea 💡 it really sounds better. 16:00 definitely adds some throaty-ness. Imagine with straight pipes 😍

@@TheSundaeDrive the air filter was as much as my exhaust 😅🥲
Lol that's a cheap exhaust 😂

Stoked to see this truck back in my radar have been watching since day 1
Awesome man! Thanks for sticking around
Sounds pretty sweet Cliff...nice install
Thanks Frank!
sounds awesome do you have a shift kit or tune how it chirped them in second and is that the 5.3
Thanks! Custom transmission tune

I wouldn’t worry to much, just go faster to help push all those gases out
Good point...
I'll keep you guys updated for sure

I just bought a 2018 with 25,000 miles on it. Do the tuners that over ride the AFM work and if so do y’all have a preference? Love the build.
Thanks! They don't prevent the failure unfortunately. They work keeping you out of v4 mode but that's about it.

How did you get the truck to chirp second gear? I have a 2011 with a 6l80 and a diablosport and it shifts hard but it doesn’t shift that nice
Custom transmission tune by EFX :)
Say buh bye to the torque converter.
Lol I don't ever accelerate that fast normally. Only time it has ever chirped. I have an upgraded TC tho
Did u need to tune or change the mass air sensor
How are you liking the 6L90 converter?
No issues at all!
So 6.2 would fit my 5.3? I got a 2015 Silverado ltz midnight edition
If you change the throttle body yes. But they are the same intake besides the coupler at the end

Will do for sure!
Is that truck chirping 2nd gear lol
Lol maybe. I had the Transmission tune by EFX tuning.

@@JTrump23 I'll check on the measurements and let you know!
@@TheSundaeDrive awesome bro! Thanks a million !!!
5.3, so tiny!! How can you look in mirror?? ;-)
😢😢😅
Time for a 6.2 swap
@@LS3ftw15 if this motor ever goes I will be for sure!
I got mine 2017 4x4 to 130🫵🏼
