Re: 1998 Silverado 2WD, nicknamed "Deadman"
Some more progress updates. I put on a Volant cold air intake and a Granatelli Mass Flow Air Sensor.
The Volant was a pain in the a$$ to put on because I already had a throttle spacer on my truck so the bolts that were included didn't fit at all. After getting some Reddi-Rod and thread lock to fix that I found out that the throttle spacer actually put most of the angles out on the Volant air tube. It took some convincing, but it all fits now but be warned if you are putting one on your truck --- the hood will push on it when its closed if you mount the air intake on a truck with a throttle spacer.
The Granatelli I'm not sure about. I heard that you have to get a programmer to reset your computer settings if you put one of these on your truck and even though I was going to buy a programmer anyways, I wasn't planning on getting one now. After I put the Granatelli on, my motor sounds like it will almost stall out if I'm parked and it's idling on its own. I have turned the sensor upright now and adjusted the Volant air tube AGAIN so the sensor won't hit the hood when it's closed so I will see tomorrow if it runs any better. My current opinion is the Granatelli isn't worth the money from what I've seen so far.
