So what's the real difference 07/08 and 09+ engine wize, parts selections

[tomustang]

Right now I'm looking up cold air kits and there seems like there's two different selections with the 07/08 and 09+ intake kits. I thought there wasn't anything different with the engines and GM wrote on paper the 23hp bump for the 6.2 09's (yet kept the same torque )

K&N lists part 3058's for 07/08 and the 3070's for 09's.

What's the differences? They move things around in the engine bay at the time? E85 compliant tubing perhaps?

Maf sensor changed, what year is yours? I have 2 new K&N cold air kits sitting here for sale

It's an 08, The only differences I could find is the Flexfuel models started in 09 which of course comes with some different components. As for the 380hp rating I think it was typical gm strategy to sell more escalades with the 23 more hp on paper.

Ya 07-08 mafs are inline units and then then went to bolt in mafs into tubes. Let me know if you want a cold air kit, I can do a new kit for $220 shipped for the 57-3058

If I remember correctly the flex fuel option was available on the 07s.

True cuz mine has the Flexfuel setup

You guys have a yellow fuel cap or a flex badge on the rear gate?

I thought the 07-08 was L92 engine and after was the L94 with flexfuel and active fuel management.

Mind you guys, i am speaking of the 6.2L

Blackoh7, I'll let you know if I purchase one of the kits off you.

Yup yellow cap and the Flex badge on the gate of mine

mid 08 to mid 09 were the "Unicorn 6.2" engines in the Tahoe. Ive been searching for over a year for one!

That's too long for me, I'd give up and get a denali/escalade before then

I looked for a year till I found my Tahoe w/ the options I wanted. Been looking ever since for a 6.2 Tahoe. I dont want AWD thats why I stuck w/ the Tahoe unless I could find a nice 2wd Escalade lol. Its mainly for haulin the race car anyways
