2004-2005 Duramax Diesels Can Make More Power with an AIRAID MXP Air Intake System

AIRAID engineers utilize CAD design and 3D scanning technologies to develop all MXP air intake systems. This ensures a smooth flow of air into your engine.

AIRAID engineers utilize CAD design and 3D scanning technologies to develop all MXP air intake systems. This ensures a smooth flow of air into your engine.

The Chevrolet/GMC Duramax LLY is a 6,599 cc (402.7 CID) turbocharged diesel V8 engine that debuted in mid-2004 and continued to be available in select Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks until the end of 2005.

Installation of the 202-229 MXP air intake system on an LLY Duramax is both professional-looking and purposeful.

Installation of the 202-229 MXP air intake system on an LLY Duramax is both professional-looking and purposeful.

The LLY Duramax features four valves per cylinder in aluminum cylinder heads and iron block. To lower emissions, GM installed a newly developed variable geometry vane Garrett turbocharger. Bore and Stroke are close to square, at 4.06 in (103 mm) x 3.90 in (99 mm) respectably, indicating the intent of co-developer Isuzu and GM for the engine to be as tractable on the highway as off. The 2004-2005 Duramax LLY produced 305 horsepower and 605 lb-ft of torque.

The very next year, GM introduced the upgraded LBZ engine which produced 360 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, a significant improvement over the LLY. Owners of an LLY-powered Sierra or Silverado can make up some of that horsepower and torque with AIRAID MXP air intake system 202-229.

The AIRAID MXP air intake system represents the ultimate application of AIRAID’s cold air induction technology. The system delivers higher levels of horsepower and improved acceleration for Duramax LLY-powered Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD/3500HD and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD models.

The entire 202-229 system is designed using extensive computer modeling to maintain proper mass air flow readings and calibration. Part of the magic is the replacement one-piece roto-molded air box that addresses all the shortcomings of the restrictive factory design.

Another critical factor is the AIRAID premium air filter that’s housed inside the air box providing outstanding air flow and filtration through its reusable, dry, non-woven synthetic filter media. Clean your AIRAID filter every 30,000 to 50,000 miles for normal driving, or more often for off-road and heavy dust conditions with the AIRAID premium dry filter cleaning solution 790-558.

Incoming cold air from outside the vehicle is directed through a new air intake tube with smooth, low-restriction walls thanks to its construction of cross-linked, high-density polyethylene.  This MXP air intake system also has provisions for the factory mass air sensor and filter minder gauge, so there’s no need to recalibrate your truck’s ECU.

Installation is of the AIRAID 202-229 cold air intake is straightforward and simple, with highly-detailed instructions. You need only a few basic hand tools and around an hour and a half to increase the power and responsiveness of your LLY-powered Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD/3500HD or GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD truck.

And something not all cold air intake system manufacturers can claim, the 202-229 AIRAID MXP air intake system is street legal in all US states with CARB EO number: D-609-18.

The 202-229 MXP air intake system is backed by AIRAID’s “No Hassle” Lifetime Warranty, which is simple. If you are ever dissatisfied with the materials, workmanship, or performance of this air filter, just give us a call at 800-498-6951 and we will be happy to assist you. You don’t have to worry about a warranty card. AIRAID filters are warranted for life.

Let Your Vortec Produce More Horsepower and Torque With An AIRAID Cold Air Dam Intake

The AIRAID cold air dam improves power and drivability at all engine speeds.

The AIRAID cold air dam improves power and drivability at all engine speeds.

Although GM performance car engines have most recently carried LS designations, Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC truck and SUV engines built on this architecture have been marketed under the Vortec name. Early on, the Vortec engines were built around iron cylinder blocks and were offered in smaller displacements than car engines, though that changed quickly.

The AIRAID cold air dam virtually seals off the air filter from the hot underhood area.

The AIRAID cold air dam virtually seals off the air filter from the hot underhood area.

In 2005, GM upgraded what was known as the Gen III small block engine to a new Gen IV specification, which included a new casting method and the facilities to add modern engine management strategies. Despite the differences between the Gen III and Gen IV, all LS/Vortec engines share some common features. These include the 4.40 inch bore centers, which they share with the original Chevrolet small block, six bolt main bearing caps, and cylinder heads with four bolts per cylinder.

In just two model years, 2007 and 2008, four different engines were offered across seven different models of GM trucks and SUVs. They were:  the 4.8L, the smallest-displacement Vortec engine which featured an iron block and aluminum heads. The 5.3L, which was the most popular Vortec truck engine, it was, in essence, a 4.8L with a longer stroke and shared the iron block and aluminum cylinder blocks. The 6.0L was installed primarily in ¾ ton and one ton trucks, the 6.0L was available with an iron engine block with aluminum heads or an aluminum block with aluminum heads named the VortecMax. The 6.2L engine is manufactured with an aluminum block and heads, and incorporates variable valve timing. The 6.2L is used primarily as a high-performance engine for the Cadillac Escalade and GMC Yukon Denali.

Despite the relative complexity of the various engines available, if you own a Cadillac, Chevrolet, or GMC from 2007 or 2008, AIRAID has a singular solution in the cold air dam (CAD) performance air intake, part number 202-197. They are designed to provide an increased flow of cooler air from outside of the vehicle for your Vortec V8. With more incoming air available, the ECU adds more fuel to match, and the engine produces more horsepower and torque.

No need to move or remove any other components other than the stock intake, as the cold air dam retains the original location of the air filter. The panels mount in the factory air box location and utilize any existing factory cold air inlet ducts, while supplementing air flow with additional cold air passages to the filter.

Another critical factor is the nine-inch tapered conical AIRAID premium air filter that is housed inside the CAD, providing both outstanding air flow and filtration to your Vortec engine. The filter utilizes a reusable, dry, non-woven synthetic filter media. To maintain performance, clean your AIRAID filter every 30,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. The best and easiest way is with the AIRAID premium dry filter cleaning solution 790-558.

Incoming cold air from outside the vehicle is directed through the air filters and into a new air intake tube with a smooth, low-restriction inner surface due to its construction of cross-linked, high-density polyethylene.  Installation of the 202-197 cold air dam is simple, with easy-to-follow instructions. You need only a few tools most everyone has in their garage and around 90 minutes to increase the power and responsiveness of your Vortec engine. And something not all cold air intake system manufacturers can claim: the 202-197 AIRAID CAD air intake system is street legal in all US states, CARB EO Number: D-609-18.

The 202-197 cold air dam is backed by AIRAID’s “No Hassle” Lifetime Warranty.

No need to worry about a warranty card; AIRAID filters are warranted for life.

All AIRAID premium filters are produced in-house using only the finest materials available and highly specialized manufacturing equipment to ensure a level of quality control no other filter company can match. All of AIRAID's product lines are proudly manufactured in the USA.

2006-2007 Chevrolet Silverado AIRAID Cold Air Intake Increases Horsepower and Torque

The AIRAID 202-186 cold air dam air intake system includes a washable and reusable high airflow premium air filter.

The AIRAID 202-186 cold air dam air intake system includes a washable and reusable high airflow premium air filter.

The 2006 Chevrolet Silverado was introduced during the last year of the vehicle’s first generation models. It was a carry-over of the 2005 model and included an extended and crew cab variants in an LS and LT trim. Two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions were available. All models including the SS and 1500 featured four-doors and could accommodate up to six passengers. A 4.3-liter V6 engine that supplied 195-horsepower or a 4.8-liter V8 that produced 285-horsepower powered the vehicle.

The AIRAID cold air dam system keeps hot engine air out of the intake by sealing the filter with aluminum panels and weatherstripping against the underside of the hood.

The AIRAID cold air dam system keeps hot engine air out of the intake by sealing the filter with aluminum panels and weatherstripping against the underside of the hood.

The second generation of the Chevrolet Silverado was available from 2007 through 2014 and included the SS Classic, the 3500 Classic, the 1500 Classic and 1500 Heavy Duty, and the 2500 Heavy Duty.

Although a totally new Chevrolet Silverado was introduced in 2007, the former Silverado continued to be offered as the Silverado Classic. The Classic was available in several cab styles, bed lengths and came in two specialized alternatives –- a hybrid and high performance SS. The Silverado Classic models do not vary much from the equivalent 2006 Silverado models except for a few minor feature changes and a different transmission – a 5-speed manual transmission, which was offered with the V6. The Silverado Classics were available as a two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive and included a regular cab, extended cab, and crew cab. Short beds measured 6-1/2-feet and long beds were 8-feet.

A 4.3-liter V6, 4.8-liter V8, a 5.3-liter V8, and a 6.0-liter V8 were available to power the 1500 Classic.

The Silverado 1500 HD was a cross between a light duty 1500 and the medium-to-heavy-duty 2500HD. It was available as a crew cab with a 6-foot, 6-inch bed and could haul 3,129 pounds in two-wheel drive, 2,838 pounds in four-wheel drive and towed up to 10,300 pounds. A 6.0-liter V8 powered the vehicle.

The Silverado Classics included an AM/FM stereo, tilt steering, drive information center, a chromed front bumper, painter rear step bumper, and 17-inch painted steel wheels. The LS was the basic trim that added air conditioning, cruise control, a CD player, cloth rather than vinyl upholstery and more options. The LS extended cab included automatic transmission and the crew cab was available with a 4.8-liter V8.

If you live in an area where you might need some extra protection, AIRAID offers filter wraps that fit over the filter and provide even more protection.

The LT is the more luxurious of the trims. It included carpeting, upgraded upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and power windows, locks and mirrors. A 5.3-liter V8 engine powered the Crew Cab LT.

The Silverado Classic SS is a performance model with a 6.0-liter Vortec 6000 engine that produces 345-horsepower. It also included a high-performance Z60 chassis. Available as options were 20-inch wheels and tires and a special exterior and interior package. It was offered as both a two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.

The AIRAID 201-186 cold air dam intake system is designed specifically for the Chevrolet Silverado models discussed. The kit retains the original location of the air filter, but also delivers big boosts of air due to a huge open-element air inlet that is protected by cold air dam panels that assist in supplying steady, free-flowing cooler outside air into the engine. It is designed so that the panels mount in the factory air box location and uses any factory cold air inlet ducts that may be present.  In addition, it offers additional cold air passages to the filter. The panels protect the air filter from the hot engine compartment air by sealing to the underside of the hood with blade-style weather stripping.

The 360° tapered AIRAID premium air filter is washable and reusable. It can last for 30,000 to 50,000 miles of normal driving before it has to be cleaned.

AIRAID offers the 790-558 air filter cleaning kit that is specially formulated to clean the AIRAID dry synthetic air filter that is present in the AIRAID 201-186 air intake system.

The system can be installed with common hand tools and is covered by an AIRAID’s exclusive No Hassle Lifetime Warranty.

The one-ton 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 comes in three trims –- a base, LS and LT. A so-called Work Truck model was also available. Four engines were offered to power the pickup –- a V-8 that generated 300-horsepower, an 8.1-liter gasoline V8 and a Duramax turbo-diesel V-8 that delivers 300-horsepower with a manual transmission or 310-horsepower when mated to an automatic transmission. Two automatic and two manual transmissions were available. Later in the model year a new Duramax 6.6-liter diesel V-8 engine that produced 360-horsepower and 650 lbs-ft of torque and an Allison 6-speed automatic transmission was unveiled.

The intake includes an AIRAID 702-469 universal air filter that features multi-layer construction that captures and holds the particles to keep them from entering and possibly damaging the engine.

The 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is a heavy-duty truck designed for work. The crew cab features a standard-length box and the truck measures 20-feet long; more than 6.5-feet wide and a little less than 6.5-feet tall. It is distinguished from the 2500 light-duty model by a larger grille, more prominent hood bulges, and more chrome on the bumper.

Designed to perform serious work, the truck includes a super-firm suspension that limits body roll when cornering and offers a jarring ride on rough roads when the truck is not loaded.

Two engines were available to power the truck –- a 6.0-liter V-8 gasoline engine that delivers 353-horsepower at 5400 rpm and 373 lbs-ft of torque at 4400 rpm, which serves with a Hydra-Matic 6-speed automatic transmission; and a 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V-8 that delivers 365-horsepower at 3200 rpm and 660 lbs-ft of torque at 1600 rpm. This engine is mated to an Ultra-low sulfur diesel Allison 1000 6-speed automatic transmission.

Payload and trailer-towing capacity of the 2500HD varies widely depending on the configuration. However, one four-wheel drive, crew-cab standard box tester with the Duramax diesel V-8 experienced a payload rating of 2,482 pounds and a maximum trailer rating of 13,000 pounds with a regular ball hitch. A trailer-break controller for use with trailers that feature electrically controlled brakes was available as an option.

The 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Classic is actually a previous generation 3500. The full-size, one-ton truck was available in rear-wheel or four-wheel drive in regular, crew and extended cabs with a choice of a short 6.6-foot bed or an 8-foot bed. Five trim levels were available including the class Work Truck, LS, 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT, which included more equipment as standard.

Three V-8 engines power the 3500 Classic including a 6.0-liter V8, which delivers 300-horsepower and is connected to a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission; an 8.1-liter V8 that delivers 330-horsepower and which includes an Allison 6-speed automatic transmission; and a Duramax 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 that produces 360-horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque and uses an Allison automatic transmission.

The 202-187 AIRAID cold air dam air intake is designed for the previous mentioned Silverado models. The intake uses the original location of the air filter but delivers a big boost of air due to a huge open-element air inlet that is protected by cold air dam panels that assures that a steady, free-flowing supply of cooler outside air reaches the engine. The panels mount in the factory air box location and incorporate the factory cold air inlet ducts if they are present. Moreover, it provides additional cold air passages to the filter. The panels isolate the air filter from the hot air of the engine compartment by sealing to the underside of the hood using blade-style weather stripping.

The 360° tapering AIRAID air filter is washable and reusable, less restrictive than other types of filters and assures excellent filtration.

AIRAID also offers the AIRAID 790-558 air filter cleaning kit that is specially formulated to clean the premium dry air filter in the AIRAID 202-187 air intake. The cleaning kit can be used to cleanse the air filter after 30,000 to 50,000 miles of normal driving. After cleaning, the air filter can be re-installed into the air intake system for more use.

The air intake system is easy to install with common hand tools and it is backed by an AIRAID exclusive No Hassle Lifetime Warranty.

2003-2009 Hummer H2 AIRAID Air Intake Kit Offers Cooler Air for More Horsepower

AIRAID air intake for the Hummer H2

The AIRAID 202-183 air intake kit fits in the factory air box, incorporates the factory cold air inlet ducts if present, and adds more cold air passages to the filter.

First introduced in 1992 by AM General, the Hummer was a truck and SUV version of the M998 HMMWV, or Humvee, military vehicle that was released into the civilian market.

In December 1999, General Motors purchased the brand name and then marketed three versions –- the Hummer H1, which was based on the military Humvee, the H2 and H3. The H2 and H3 were based on smaller, civilian-market General Motors platforms.

AM General had planned to sell a civilian version of the Humvee as early as the late-1980s. It assumed that the vehicle would have the same construction and many of the same mechanical parts. When manufactured, the civilian Hummers were finished in gloss paint and included some passenger car enhancements including air conditioning, sound insulation, better upholstery, a stereo system, wood trim, and convenience packages.

AM General sold the name to General Motors, but continued to make the vehicle. General Motors handled its marketing and distribution. Soon after, General Motors introduced two models of its own, the H2 and H3.

By 2006, General Motors was exporting the Hummer through importers and distributors in 33 countries.

Due to the rapid rise in the cost of gasoline, causing a major dip in sales of the vehicle, on June 3, 2008, one day before General Motors' annual shareholder meeting, then CEO Rick Wagoner said that the brand was being reviewed and could possibly be discontinued, sold, or redesigned. Soon after that announcement two Indian automakers including Mahindra & Mahindra said they were interested in acquiring all or part of Hummer.

AIRAID air intake installed in a Hummer H2

Once installed in your Hummer, the AIRAID kit looks great and performs better than the stock intake system.

As a result of the recession, General Motors filed for bankruptcy and announced that Hummer would be discontinued. However, the next day GM revealed that it was selling the brand to Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Company, a Chinese automaker. On January 6, 2010, General Motors CEO Ed Whitacre said that he hoped that the acquisition would be complete by the end of February.

The deal could not be closed in time, so the deadline was extended to give Tengzhong time to get approval of the $150 million purchase from the Chinese government.

On February 24, 2010 General Motors announced that the deal with Tengzhong had collapsed and the Hummer brand would be discontinued.

The AIRAID 202-183 air intake kit has been specifically designed for use on Hummer vehicles. It has been engineered and constructed to provide cooler air to the engine and thus increase horsepower and torque. Supplying cooler air to the engine is possible due to the cold air dam panels of the intake that provide a steady, free-flow of cooler outside air into the engine. The panels mount in the factory air box location and incorporate the factory cold air inlet ducts if present. Moreover, it provides more cold air passages to the filter. The panels also isolate the air filter from the heat of the engine compartment because it seals to the underside of the hood using blade-style weather stripping.

AIRAID filter wrap for AIRAID intake filter 202-183

If you need extra protection, AIRAID offers the 799-469 filter wrap. This will help provide a bit more air filter protection for those extreme environments.

The air intake system features a 360° conical AIRAID air filter that is washable and reusable. The company also offers the AIRAID 790-558 air filter cleaning kit that is specially formulated to clean the dry air filter every 30,000 to 50,000 miles of normal driving. If used in off-road and heavy dust conditions, the filter must be cleaned more often. Proper cleaning at the appropriate time will assure that the filter can be reused over and over again.

The intake can be installed using common hand tools and is backed by an AIRAID exclusive No Hassle Lifetime Warranty.

The AIRAID 202-183 air intake kit fits the following vehicle applications.

2009 Hummer H2 6.2L V8
