I have 1 persistent problem with that location, Rain water finds its way into my right side battery & the acid overflows. Was there ever a fix for this? 2006 2500HD LBZ Duramax, 5/06 build date, Flint assembly. Running a AC-Delco battery also.

What was going on with the Air Intake on the '04 1/2-'05 LLY Duramax?
From what I can tell from TSB 06-06-04-036D the air filter assembly was to restrictive & caused some engines to heat while towing in high ambient temps.

Did you design the '06-'10 LBZ/LMM air intakes with the big Donaldson filters? And why go back to a panel filter for the '11 & up LML trucks?
I had moved on to program management by the time the GMT800 was launched (1999 calendar year) so can't speak directly to some of the rationale.

My current project is using the LML engine (I have the exterior sheet metal, if you can believe that) and I do recognize many of the components the Induction guy is carrying around.
