I’d be okay with a 1 year truck for the content then sell and get something new.. if we could convince him to get a single cab short box obs would be so fun to watch get built
You should have cleaned that MAF sensor while it was out… something like Berryman B12 and let air dry. (DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR!) I bet that has never been cleaned in its life… and you’ll get better throttle response and possibly better MPGs… Loving this build, keep up the incredible work!👍
I know some people hate K&N open filters like this one, but the K&N works really well for these trucks. Have had mine on my obs since 2015. I do wish they had an enclosure so I can keep out rain but I will be building an enclosure for myself. The front part of my OBS was damage so water use to see under the hood and the air filter did get some water on it. Splashes not a drown. Their phrase for saying its long lasting, don't follow that. I typically wash my filter about 1-2 times a year and hit back up with ATF fluid as the oil. I got my K&N kit through pepboys then and half the parts were missing when I picked it up. I got about .9mpg increase on mine with the intake alone. back then. I have a bunch of complimentary stuff now.
The reason the intake didn’t fit right was because it was meant for the 5.0 vortec. The 5.0 had a much shorter throttle body. It makes sense why the angles are off, because you have the 5.7. If you put that on a 5.0 it would fit better I imagine
@@angrybadger8136 Nope, during the OBS generation they had a 5.0 vortec. The 4.8 didn’t come out until 1999 along with the new body style that people refer to as the “Bubble Eye”
I got a spectre one for my obs I definitely noticed slightly better fuel mileage nothing really hp wise but like you said no reason to get one 😂😂😂 mainly got mine because it has a polished pipe 🥴 so it made the motor stand out a lot nicer than the original plastic look
On my '98 Silverado 5.7L I'm running a JET Performance throttle body spacer and factory style replacement K&N Performance air filter in my factory high capacity intake box. JET also makes a performance mass air flow sensor if you're looking for actual gains.
If you want to hear it open up at wide open throttle , modify cowl induction hood and modify the air intake to receive air through the cowl induction like the old days , like the Trans AM or Chevelle that got their design from NASCAR
Should have gotten the volant cool air intake its better quality its got a lid instead of that open rubber weather seal stuff had one on a 2003 dodge ram with stock exaust and it would hum under hard acceleration sounded good like it had a real exaust system on it
The small amount of HP that comes is due to less filtering , which is fine on the race track , but not for daily driving , just something to think about ,
You mentioned a while back that you were thinking of selling one of your vehicles. Which one did you decide on? Oh, I also saw that your near Bessemer, AL which is where my wife and used to go to visit her family. Pretty cool.
My obs is having trouble a 93 surburban 4x4 I had change pad cause metal metal then they started sticking in the front driver side I changed caliper rotor pads and brake hose I even took steel brake line blew it with compressor and still stuck any help??
I would reach out to them, the reason it doesn't fit is because they sent you the wrong one. The one they sent you is for the 5.0. The 5.7 and 5.0 cold air intakes are two different model numbers. That's why the angles are off and throttle spacer did not work. I would ask them to send the correct one to you.
💯 oh okayy thanks for replying should be getting my Tahoe back Monday from getting 6 inch rc lift and got some 15x10 on 33s might just put some 35s would like super swampers they look mean
You aren’t moving enough air to need a less restrictive filter, wix paper filter is way better and you never need to clean it. I run the factory sized wix on my 7.4 with headers, flow masters and a tune and it has plenty of air
I put cold air intake, high flow maf, high flow throttle body. All I kept getting was lean codes the computer wasn’t add enough fuel, so I had to take it off. You have any problems with yours?
I got some OBS vids that might help you gain some HP, check em out man!? Love your vids keep ‘em coming ✊🏽 just did some drop shackles on my LML was super “fun” 💀 hours later but she level now.
All intake brands are grossly overpriced for what they are and what they offer. The 7-8ish HP gained above 4k rpms will never be felt and your fuel economy will remain unchanged as well. Snake oil. A stock box, intake, and a clean filter won't hurt that engine's performance in the least.
That “1 month” truck is really looking and sounded great 😂
Yea he’s keeping that thing 🤣
Or maybe when the new truck arrives he will sell it😂
Im so happy he is keeping it… for now at least lol love these obs

0:00 that sound is insanely good damn
Like your videos but I can’t wait for the 6.0L powerstoke
I just picked up my 5th one Tahoe two weeks ago and back in love with them 😂 you the reason I just brought this one

@@ethanmonroe7644 I know about the old 305 - my Camaro had one. Don't think it was a "vortec" though
@@angrybadger81365.0L which is the 305 engine. 5.7L is the 350 engine.
@@christianm.2042 no shit. and the 5.3 is a 327

Keep up the good work 👍.
Alwasy good day after work when you post!!

Had this same intake on my ‘97 K1500 one of my favorite mods
If you want to hear it open up at wide open throttle , modify cowl induction hood and modify the air intake to receive air through the cowl induction like the old days , like the Trans AM or Chevelle that got their design from NASCAR
You should get the new 2024 f150 5.0 I got mine for 65k no mark-up I seen some on Facebook marketplace for 65k love the truck
A lunati cam on that motor would be sick
I agree with you the fit and finish I expected to be way better than it was
Man the dog barks at 2:40 tripped me out 😅
Should have gotten the volant cool air intake its better quality its got a lid instead of that open rubber weather seal stuff had one on a 2003 dodge ram with stock exaust and it would hum under hard acceleration sounded good like it had a real exaust system on it
Knew you’d end up keeping it respect
id love to see some more mods to larry
Would like to see headers and high flow cats on this rig
Nice love the Ride
The small amount of HP that comes is due to less filtering , which is fine on the race track , but not for daily driving , just something to think about ,
Love the ride... would you ever sale it....???
Love the vids keep up the good work
Just curious why not clean the engine bay before doing that work?
I run a volant performance cold air intake on my 94 Silverado
What exhaust do you run on your trucks they sound great
Cold air intakes dont really do much if anything for a stock gasser. Most trucks have stock cold air intakes from late 90's on anyway.
I really want the obs Yukon now 😅
You mentioned a while back that you were thinking of selling one of your vehicles. Which one did you decide on?
Oh, I also saw that your near Bessemer, AL which is where my wife and used to go to visit her family. Pretty cool.
Just buy some aftermarket couplers I always have to do that aftermarket intakes
You can’t hear the intake at all when you rev it up because of the annoyingly loud exhaust.

Get it tuned also by someone that knows the platform. U will notice it over a basic canned tune
What was that thing that u put over the bolts underneath the intake?
You should do headers on that thing next
Exhaust change should be first. It's hideous.
Nice
exhaust sounds really clappy
Yea. It’s definitely different 😂
Aye man when's the new truck coming in?
Does the 15x12 on 35 I’m guessing 13.5 on 6 inch rc do the tires rub at all?
It will at full turn, they are 12.5”
💯 oh okayy thanks for replying should be getting my Tahoe back Monday from getting 6 inch rc lift and got some 15x10 on 33s might just put some 35s would like super swampers they look mean

I'll say the only thing you might notice is It will be louder on a cold start.

Volant cold air for larry
2:22 took me out. ngl.
Oh
what phone or camera do you use?
I got some OBS vids that might help you gain some HP, check em out man!? Love your vids keep ‘em coming ✊🏽 just did some drop shackles on my LML was super “fun” 💀 hours later but she level now.
Needs an 0411 pcm swap for real power
256!
That won't stay on lol had one on mine and kept a screw driver in the truck for when it fell off haha
Did anyone else notice the crack on the back of the intake tube??
At 8:20
Name the powerstroke chewy please😂
Do an AIC mod on the 6.oh no

"Performance mod" if it can be bought from O'Reilly's, it don't count
K&N has been horrible. Super expensive for cheap quality
What size of rim and tires
