Fairly easy install. I would advise wrapping a rope around the tube where it connects to the back of the turbo and using that to pull the tube into place. Saved me so much time and I’m sure busted knuckles.
Holy crap, i saw this comment before installing and tried it, thank you! It saved me so much headache installing it. Id add make sure you put a slip knot into it to make it easy to get the rope out and lube up the inside of the rubber collar, maybe lithium grease, pull the rope and pull the left side into the turbo and push on the end of the right side. For anyone installing in the future.
I thought about doing that, because I have large hands and couldn’t get into the opening myself. A friend of mine helped me out. And he stood on the other end controlling the tube and I had to pull on it. Great advise though.
The hardest part of installation for me was getting the long tube with couplet onto the turbo. All I had to do was loosen the clamp on the couplet for the turbo and it fit right in.
I'm getting my truck next week and already ordered my intake (can't check myself) but is there enough space to fit your hands to install the tube on the turbo ?
@@LowcountryBuckeye hey can you give us an update, like did you feel a difference or what noticeable changes did you get from stock? Planing on getting one
@@GendersonHernandez So, I only had the intake installed for a few months and then sold the truck (kept the intake, I plan on getting the 2022 Sierra in the Spring with the same engine). In those few months, I did notice an additional 1-2 mpg difference in fuel economy. Doesn’t add much sound to the turbo, in fact, you can only really hear the intake if you have all the windows down. As far as power….eh, not really. About the same but did notice a very SLIGHT increase in throttle response. Nothing major, just very slight. Hope that helps.
I have 2024 1500 3.0 High Country. The tube to turbo is virtually impossible to attach, not as easy as she makes it look. I worked on it for 3hours or more, there just isn’t enough room. I called S & B technical support, the technician was basically worthless. I reinstalled the stock tube very easily.
She left out one of two parts that needed to be done. Which she me going back, (because I tried to follow her step by step). Otherwise great help- thank you for your video.
Hi! I had a shop install to the turbo. The filter life is disabled but every time I turn truck on I get a “check engine air filter system” no one knows how to fix that. Can you help???!!
There are 3 different things that I can refer you to which are 1. the video that you were watching 2. disconnect the battery for over 2 hours or over night so the computer can do a reset 3. go to the install instructions online and go step by step to make sure that it was done correctly. Please let me know if yo have any other questions.
Hi S&B, I am curious. Is there any DYNO documentation regarding HP and torque? I do not care about more noise. Also are there any documented MPG Gains with your CAI???? Otherwise why put it on? I don't care about looks. I care about the advantages if there are any.
The simple answer is that it depends on your vehicle. Improving the airflow to your engine has been shown to increase horsepower. That being said, we don't publish horsepower numbers because of the inaccurate and outlandish claims made by many of our competitors. Instead we test to the ISO 5011 Filtration Standard and publish the airflow, efficiency and capacity data on the product pages found on our website. This is the internationally accepted standard for testing filters and intake systems, so we can hold our competition accountable if they make an incorrect claim.
@@SBFilters Hi Katie, I know it depends on the vehicle. That is why I choose this video to question you. I am specifically looking for data for the 20-21 Silverado 3.0 Diesel. Before I plunk down several hundred dollars I want to know the advantages (if there are any). A few years back there was a popular company selling CAI's that when put on the dyno, it actually lost power. So that is my concern. Hopefully another viewer that sees this post that has done Dyno work on this will chime in. But until I see the published gains I will hold off on spending the $$$$$.
I made a video with interior, exterior and engine bay. th-cam.com/video/gJ7BKyQOYfU/w-d-xo.html S&B Feel free to remove this comment if you don't want links in here.
I know you posted this a year ago but did you find a solution for this? I just added this on my lm2 and did the same thing a week after installing and now have a check air system message every time I start up.
If this made more power I’m sure you would advertise it. DON’T buy from companies that won’t show you what your hard earned money goes to. Every performance part should come with Dyno results or Fuel economy results if that what their inferring. If the intake isn’t a restriction 51% increase in flow means nothing.
Exactly. The youtube channel Engineering Explained already did a video a couple of years ago with performance tests on cold air intakes, stock intakes, and another style. The stock intake almost always performs better than any upgrade to the air intake.
I got this intalled on my 2020 3.0 and after paying for it, it took over a month to ship i kept getting this excuse “manufacturing challenges” and on this video theres too many unnecessary steps for the install. Long story short not worth it! No noticeable power or sound. 👎 my gas nissan totan has an afe brand and it makes a noticeable increase in power and it roars at 4k rpms. This one is junk honestly no sound and for a diesel i was expecting more I guess.

The biggest thing that helped me was a nice little film of WD-40 silicone spray, popped right on the turbo. Also I did it by myself.

Cap
Installed mine today and now check engine light is on, does sound a lot better though😂
Been visiting the webpage constantly for a release date. Crossing my fingers that this will be ready soon!
dmaxstore says they are in stock... just ordered from them; let's see when they ship
@@dyshuk Oh I ordered mine the day it was available on the S&B website. I’ve had it installed for quite a while now.

Why not let us hear it?
I have been waiting for this!!
I bought this, now I'm nervous this is a a lot harder to install than I thought it would be. Can Katie install it for me, its only a 2 hour drive lol
I’d pay just to watch her do it 😂😂😂
Do you have to tune the truck or will it set off a light? I’ve heard from different people it has set off a wrench light.
My check filter light keeps coming on.how doni fix that? And what is the filter replacement part number?
I know diesels love cold air any benefits on power or fuel economy for this one?

I am not confident of any benefit installing on my 3.0. I’ll pass

Make one for a 2021 4x4 Yukon...if not I'll be a tester for you
Does it need tuning with a new S&B install?
Can’t wait to try this on my AT4 I wonder if it’s any different from the Chevy.
If you have the same engine, it's exactly the same install procedure.
How much power does it add, Did you dyno test it?
Um... Sound of the intake???

@@adrenaline1251 Thank you so much! awesome video! Looking forward to this set up on my 3.0 suburban!
Would have been tough to install without this video. But now my truck says check air filter system
Any advice on correcting that? Mine comes in now when I start the truck.
Do I have to deseable it after the install because it enabled when I put the negative terminal back??
What a pain in the a$$ getting that tube onto the turbo , a little silicone spray did the trick.
I love how she didn’t show how she got the long tube onto the turbo. I can’t fit my sausage fingers in there to get that on the turbo at all
Do you re-enable the filter life setting after install?
you don't
What happens if you do?
Make one for mustang 3.7L V6 for God sake.
Is it optional if u wanna put the silicone plug in it ?
I accidentally turned on the air filter life and it’s stuck in check air system mode. Do you know how to fix that???

How does the truck sound with this intake?
Prob not a noticeable difference

Too hard
this is terrible install, Lady: its dark, you going to fast, and you couldnt even show us how it sounds after wow, what a waste of our time
Do you know if it will fit the Tahoe version?
