The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra are both well used and trusted work vehicles and have exceptional towing capabilities. They have long shared platforms and their engines follow suit. The 6.0L engine loaded in 2500 and 3500 models of the Silverado and Sierra is an excellent example of this similarity. Making 360 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque this engine is no slouch. Whether you're driving through dirty working conditions or just have the need for additional power, the 21-8031DC performance air intake system can help to make the difference. This intake is specifically designed for the 6.0L engine found in both the GMC and the Chevy. With an estimated 13 horsepower gain at 5100 RPM this air intake will interest both those looking for a performance gain and those looking for that slight towing edge.

AEM's Dryflow® synthetic material is used with this air filter. It is extremely durable with a high holding capacity for dirt, lengthening the amount of time between cleanings. The Dryflow media is covered and protected by a wire mesh of epoxy covered aluminum on both sides. The filter media used is unoiled, making the cleaning process simple and removing the possibility of over-oiling the filter. The cleaning solution is a mild cleaner and degreaser which simply removes the built up of dirt and grime so the filter can be easily rinsed clean and reused again and again.

The filter for this air intake is contained in an air box which pulls air from around the radiator core support to ensure near-ambient air temperatures. This has paid off with an estimated increase of 13 horsepower and 14 lb-ft. of torque to the wheels of a 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD 6.0L truck at 5100 RPM. Additionally the removable top for this air box will make filter access easy and straightforward. The intake also comes with a Filter Minder to let you know when the air filter should be cleaned without removing the air box cover. The installation of this intake is simple and all required parts are included. Owners can even watch the air intake installation video on AEM's website. The 21-8031DC intake kit will not void your GMC or Chevrolet warranty and it is also covered by AEM's Lifetime Limited Warranty.

The 21-8031DC air intake system fits the following Chevy trucks:

2012 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD V8 6.0L

Car traditionalists can be brutal on carmakers when it comes to making changes that vary a vehicle's traditional appearance, and none more so than Jeep purists. If there's any doubt, just think back to when Jeep changed the traditional round headlights, starting with the Willys CJ, which endured for 50 years and seven CJ variants, until becoming the Jeep Wrangler in 1987. In 1994, when the Jeep Wrangler YJ came out with rectangular headlights, you'd have thought a sacrilege had been committed.

When it comes to changes under the hood, sticklers can be only slightly more forgiving, but when it comes to the 2012 Jeep Wrangler, they can flat out relax. A single drive around the block, or along your go-to off-road destination, and you will see there's nothing to worry about here. Jeep has provided plenty for one to get worked up over, but in a good way this time.

The most significant change for 2012 is the adoption of Chrysler's hugely popular DOHC 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. It pumps out 260 pound-feet of torque at 4,800 rpm and 285 horsepower at 6,400 rpm. To put that in perspective, that's 23 lb-ft and fully 83 hp more than the old-school pushrod 3.8-liter V6 it replaces.

Now, whether you own a 2007 throught 2016 Jeep Wrangler with 3.8 liter engine or the 2012-2015 3.6 liter V-6 Pentastar version, you can add performance and reduce maintenance costs by simply replacing the factory installed air filter with an AEM 28-20364 reusable Dryflow® air filter. Replacing the existing OEM air filter with AEM's three-dimensional synthetic filter medium requires no extra effort or alterations of any kind. It's the same procedure as outlined in your vehicles owner's manual.

The AEM 28-20364 Dryflow air filter combines the best elements of cotton and synthetic air filters into an exclusive filter concept that doesn't require oil. The AEM 28-20364 air filter uses both depth loading and unique structural screen wire construction to improve airflow and strength, while at the same time providing outstanding engine protection. The AEM Dryflow airfilter media used with part 28-20364 will never require oil, eliminating the possibility of over-oiling it after cleaning. Depending on your driving conditions, this Jeep Wrangler air filter can go for up to 50,000 miles before cleaning is needed. Cleaning the air filter is quick and easy with synthetic flter cleaner, which dissolves the dirt, allowing it to be rinsed away with water. Part 28-20364 will continue to provide these performance benefits for the entire life of your Wrangler and it is backed by AEM's Lifetime Limited Warranty.

AEM 28-20364 will fit the following Jeep Wrangler models:

2016 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L V6
2015 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L V6
2014 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L V6
2013 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L V6
2012 Jeep Wrangler 3.8L V6
2012 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L V6
2011 Jeep Wrangler 3.8L V6

It's common knowledge that Chevrolet and GMC trucks park in the same corporate garage, but what you might not have known is that General Motors was founded as a holding company for Buick in 1908. The following year GM bought the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company, which eventually became the GMC Truck brand name. In 2007 GMC was GM's second-largest-selling North American vehicle division right behind Chevrolet.

Although GMC and Chevrolet trucks' differences have varied over the years, when all is said and done they are virtually identical except for the grilles and badges. However, while the Chevrolet Colorado for example is sold exclusively at Chevrolet dealerships, GMC's version of the light-duty truck, the Canyon, is available to Buick, Pontiac and Cadillac dealerships, in addition to being sold in separate franchises along with medium-duty models.

Both versions, the Colorado and Canyon, were introduced as 2004 models and replaced GM's Chevy S-10 and its twin the GMC Sonoma. The Colorado, Canyon and Hummer H3, which is built around the same platform only with Tonka Truck inspired styling and incredible off-road ability, all share one further commonality. By replacing the existing air filter in all three of these GM models with a reusable AEM 28-20408 Dryflow® air filter, you'll receive a welcome performance boost. This AEM performance air filter is installed exactly the same as the factory filter, without any modifications needed. AEM's exclusive air filter design is engineered to increase horsepower and torque, by providing greater airflow and less restriction, while offering essential protection for your engine.

The AEM 28-20408 Dryflow air filter is mae from a special synthetic material that is reusable and doesn't need oil, eliminating the chance of over-oiling after cleaning. With a cleaning interval of up to 50,000 miles depending on driving conditions you needn't even think about cleaning your air filter for quite a while. Then when it does get dirty you simply wash it using synthetic air filter cleaner, which helps to loosen and remove dirt and grime. Rinse the filter clean with water, let it dry and reinstall it.. Your AEM 28-20408 Dryflow air filter will outlast your vehicle, plus it's backed by AEM's Lifetime Limited Warranty.

Select Chevrolet Aveo Models Get Performance with AEM Dryflow Air Filter

AEM Dryflow OE replacement air filter 28-20320
AEM Dryflow OE replacement air filter 28-20320
The Chevrolet Aveo shares some truly epic international DNA. The first generation subcompact was originally designed, engineered and marketed in 2002 by GM Daewoo, the South Korean subsidiary of General Motors, and has since been sold worldwide in 120 countries under five brands.

"When we designed it, we set out to produce an alternative to conventional lines and tread new paths in terms of design," said Giorgetto Giugiaro, explaining the philosophy behind his original design of the Daewoo Kalos from which all Aveo platform offspring, sprung. Included in this international lineage are the Chevrolet Kalos and Aveo and Pontiac G3 and Wave.

To follow the twists and turns this particular platform has made over the years would require a detailed schematic and the ability to read it. The second generation Aveo debuted in 2011 and was marketed globally as the Chevrolet Aveo in North America, the Middle East, Chile, Israel, Japan, Mexico, and South Africa. While in Australasia, the region which includes Australia, New Zealand, and the island of New Guinea, it is sold as the Holden Barina. The 1.4 liter (85 cu in) dual over-head cam engine was offered in Europe, Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, India, and the Philippines, and the 1.2 liter single over-head cam engine is available in South Korea, Europe, and India.

The latest interpretation of Giugiaro's original concept is the 2012 Chevrolet Aveo5. The Aveo 5-door hatchback was marketed as the "Aveo5" in Canada since its inception, and in the US beginning with model year 2007, in which an Opel ECO-TEC 106 hp 1.6 engine came standard. There is one other common denominator select versions of this platform share, however its particular application remains totally uncomplicated straight across the board. By upgrading the existing air filter in the models listed below with a reusable AEM 28-20320 Dryflow® air filter, you can instantly receive a performance boost. AEM's unique performance air filters are designed to add both horsepower and torque and it's as easy to replace as the existing stock air filter, without a single alteration required.

AEM has combined the finest elements of cotton and synthetic air filters into a new concept for reusable air filters. The AEM 28-20320 Dryflow air filter never requires oil, eliminating the guesswork of over-oiling the filter. The suggested cleaning interval is 50,000 miles, depending on driving conditions, and when cleaning is called for, cleaning is a breeze. Simply wash it using synthetic air filter cleaner, which removes the dirt and grime, rinse it with water, and let it dry. The 28-20320 air filter is the last air filter you will ever need for your Aveo, and it is backed by AEM's Lifetime Limited Warranty.
