My 2001 Suburban 1500 work delivery truck has around 325K miles and been running great in TEXAS HEAT summer time !!

Felt it was time for a nice upgrade. She's currently @ 325K miles and doing just fine. This week I Treated her to a CAI upgrade from Amazon. Best F$@!&% $60 I ever spent on a car mod LMAO


The CAI kit included the Washable cone filter, Clamps, intake tubes and heat shield !!


Love the low end torque GROWL it now gives !!!!!! Last night I took her on FUN "test drive" on I35 In Dallas lol




Next week she's getting a fresh Shell full SYN Rotella Gas/TRuck 5W30 OCI with blue bottle lubegard oil protection View attachment 258380View attachment 258379View attachment 258381

if im not planning on doing alot to a vehicle ill do a cheap intake. the only problem i have had with the cheaper intakes is those rubber mount bushings come apart so be prepared for that. check it atleast once a month. a longer bolt with a hollow bushing does well as a better replacement.

Painted the pipe ??? Nope, It came that way from factory. When purchasing these intakes kits you have options of chrome or power coated black.


On the advice of my LSX mechanic he said go with the power coated version ;)

the comment regarding junk filters is probably based more on what i hear about most no name cheap cone filters. they are over oiled the mesh comes apart or it filters about as good as chicken coop wire. a spectre from local autoparts store is a better option. a pro dry would also be a good option.
