Dod

for lack of time of evaluating each mod, i installed everything in an evening. the MAF Sensor is a little bit smaller in physical make up as it sits in the intake tube i believe. Over all i have a significant difference and i actually cruise in V4 mode and maintain speed without switching to V8 for majority of my highway driving.

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but were you actually able to control the threshold that makes the DOD switch from V8 to V4 mode? Or with the added power it just doesn't do it as much? Mine switches all the time, and I really want to be able to either control it manually with a switch or greatly increase the amount of load it requires to switch. Tried searching on the subject but didn't find much.

Thanks.

Contact Justin or Jenna at Black Bear. It won't be a manual switch, but they can adjust it. For the 4L60E tranny, they have a mode when in "3" it will try to go to V4 more often for city driving.

Nice setup, heard a lot of guys getting Volant intakes. How much better is it then K&N intakes?

If you have an 09+ Tahoe/Yukon, I wouldn't suggest getting the Volant CAI. It'll throw codes at you... just ask KMel :)

The 07/08 has the MAF sensor in a dif spot then in the newer models.

So here is a thread with a guy with my unit installed and just wanted to post pictures of it there was no mention of a check light issue that I saw, and your jumping on here saying they through check engine lights? Whats up with that? you dont even have a 09+. And the MAF is in the same spot, its just a different sensor

That's not a very good way to represent your company.

Felix was simply responding to Josh and stating issues with the product that he has seen on this forum. In addition, according to one of the threads, Volant indicated it was a MAF position issue not a different sensor. See threads below.

To be fair, the problem appeared to be solved in the first and below thread.
