Do they have an air filter gauge now besides oil life?
Yes, but as far as I can tell it's strictly based on time. My Yukon XL had 5mi on it when I took delivery a month ago. It was built in May of '22. Air filter life was ~ 90% IIRC. The salesman reset it back to 100% while he was explaining all the functions in the DIC.

Ahhh. That is the engine air filter. Which doesn’t matter because I have the KN cold air intake. So it is completely different.

Thank you for that info too. Honestly feel like the kn is more trouble than it’s worth
I wouldn't want one with a MAF sensor, personally. I had a drop-in K&N panel filter in my 1995 Jeep which had no MAF. Not worth it. I was 17 and was excited to try new things for horsepower improvements before I realized it was all snake oil.

Yea the whole cold air intake and exhaust was a complete waste. It was part of the package for the lot vehicle. I actually asked if they could keep it since they didn’t have the parts yet. They said no. It changed absolutely nothing except now I have exhaust drone at 50 - 60 mph

I don't believe the "cold air" intake would create a drone in the exhaust.

Cold air intake AND exhaust meaning both were probably dealer installed markups that were non-negotiable because COVID and inflation as indicated by OP.

This. I have the cold air performance intake and the exhaust installed by the dealer. They are a waste of money.
