2004-2005 Chevy Silverado 2500HD & 3500 Brute Force Intake System Installation
The AEM Brute Force Intake System is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of cars. It is the most advanced short pipe air intake system on the market. Each system is specifically engineered for its particular application. All AEM Brute Force Intake Systems deliver maximum performance gains through the lightweight, all-aluminum, mandrel-bent tubing that is tuned in both length and diameter. The tube length and diameter are matched for each specific engine to give power over a broad RPM range. Every intake is coated with a high-gloss, heat-reducing Zirconia based powder coating.
This special blend of powder coating helps reduce heat penetration, which in turn reduces the temperature of the inlet air charge. The cooler inlet air temperature translates to more power during the combustion process because cool air is denser than warm air. The air mass flow to the engine is increased because of the increased airflow and reduced inlet temperature, which translates to more power.
Getting Started
a) Make sure vehicle is parked on a level surface. Set parking brake.
b) Disconnect negative battery terminal from both batteries.
c) If engine has run within the past two hours, let it cool down.
Removal of the stock intake system.
a) Before removing any of the O.E. components, label each individual part so that no components become mixed up during the installation process.
b) Unplug the wire harness from the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. Remove the two screws retaining the MAF sensor with the supplied tamper-resistant Torx tool. Carefully remove the MAF sensor.
