You are in the Chevrolet Silverado & GMC Sierra Forum. Your Host is kcram
can anyone out there with a 2001 silverado 4x4 extended cab with the 4.8 l automatic engine tell me if they have tried installing the poweraid throttle body spacer and the poweraid air induction system tell me if they have noticed a change in they're mpg and overall power or is this company just feeding us a bunch of crap like some aftermarket suppliers i have installed 33 inch tires recently and i am considering buying these products to make up some of the mpg loss that comes with bigger tires and if not offer some real solutions?

Replying to: country00 (May 01, 2005 4:41 am) The recalled tires have Department of Transportation tire identification numbers which begin with DOT BF and end with the last four digits 1504 or 1604. The DOT codes are found on the inner or outer sidewall of the tire just above the wheel rim and are printed in small type (less than half an inch tall). There are no issues with tires manufactured outside of these DOT weeks. The weeks are the 15th and 16th week of this year. obyone - as to the Tornado, you guys told me not to buy it a while back, but I already had. I posted that I have seen a 2 mpg increase both city and hi-way since installing it. Still getting 14 city/16 hi-way, no change in driving habit, still love to listen to the Flowmaster....does it work for every vehicle, can't say, but it sure worked on mine. I mounted it right behind the air mass sensor. At $42.00, it paid for itself a while back with today's fuel prices. Later - Texsun

Replying to: texsun (May 14, 2005 5:52 am) Hey I'm glad it works for you. I had it installed in four company vehicles ( 2 Fords and 2 Nissans) with no improvement in mileage or power. You're getting 14/16? Hmmm I used to get 15/19 and I had a 2WD too with the 5.3 and 3.73.

I'm looking to hear from people about their dealer, dealing and deal experiences. Who have you dealt with, was it good or bad? How's their service? Would you deal with them again? I'm looking at the '05 Sierra and Silverado. I want a 4X2 extended cab with the 6' bed, Cruise and Power Windows. I look forward to hearing from anybody in the K.C. and Western Missouri area.
