A Complete Guide to K&N Chevrolet Silverado Performance Parts
- Dec 1, 2016
History of the 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado GMT900 & 2014-2017 Chevrolet Silverado K2XX The "Heartbeat of America" started pumping all the way back in 1918, when the first Chevrolet 490 Light Delivery rolled off the assembly line. This Chevy half-ton truck was built on a car chassis with beefed up rear springs, and buyers could choose either a slide-in pickup bed for the roadster body, or have a custom service body built by an upfitter. Farmers, tradesmen, and small businesses loved this handy little pickup, and it eventually became a staple of the Chevy product line. Fast forward 50-odd years, and the pickup truck had transitioned from a bare-bones work tool into, a source of personal transportation. To meet the changing demands, a new top-shelf Chevrolet C/K Silverado was introduced for the 1975 model year. It featured car-like amenities such as velour upholstery, sound deadening material, and extra chrome trim. At the time, the Chevy Silverado was considered a luxurious conveyance, and the name would be used to designate all top of the line Chevrolet C/K pickups until the C/K nomenclature (C = 2wd | K = 4wd) was dropped for the all-new GMT800 Chevrolet Silverado in 1999. The GMT800 Chevrolet Silverado HD was launched a year later, and featured a number of improvements over the previous incarnations of the Silverado 1500HD, Silverado 2500HD, and Silverado 3500HD.
The second generation 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado was based on the new GMT900 platform, and featured a fully boxed frame for added torsional stiffness and towing/payload capacity. Other enhancements included a quieter cabin, a more direct rack & pinion steering system, and luxuries like a power sliding rear window, and touchscreen navigation. When properly equipped, the GMT900 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 can tow up to 10,500 lbs. Step up to the GMT900 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Duramax 6.6L, and you'll be able to drag an impressive 23,000 lbs. In 2014, the K2XX Chevrolet Silverado introduced an even more advanced platform, and the SAE adjusted tow ratings provided a more realistic account of what these trucks can do in the real world. But no matter what the numbers say, these K&N Chevrolet Silverado performance parts can help improve both the efficiency and capability of your faithful steed. K&N Chevrolet Silverado Performance Parts
Don't list your Chevrolet Silverado for sale when you can easily transform the way it drives. No matter if you have a GMT900 Chevy Silverado 1500, a Chevrolet Silverado HD 6.6L Duramax Diesel, or a 2014-2017 Chevrolet Silverado K2XX, K&N carries a full line of Silverado performance parts that can unleash horsepower and make your Chevy truck perform like it was intended. From numerous Chevrolet Silverado Duramax Diesel Cold Air Intake Systems, to warranty-approved low restriction K&N Chevy Silverado Replacement Air Filters, the following Silverado performance parts can help protect your truck, while you get more done. More Air = More Power. K&N Replacement Air Filters Regardless if you need a GMT900 Chevrolet Silverado air filter, a Chevrolet Silverado HD Duramax diesel air filter, or a K2XX Chevrolet Silverado air filter, you need to understand the two types that are available to you: 'surface loading' and 'depth loading'. It doesn't matter the year, every factory replacement OEM Chevrolet Silverado 4.3L air filter, Chevrolet Silverado 4.8L air filter, Chevrolet Silverado 5.3L air filter, Chevrolet Silverado 6.0L air filter, Chevrolet Silverado 6.2L air filter, and Chevrolet Silverado 6.6L diesel air filter is made from a thick folded/pleated paper. As air passes through that OE Silverado air filter, all of the dirt, dust and debris collects between the pleats on the surface of the filter (i.e. 'surface loading'). Over time, that layer of dirt will start to get thicker and eventually restrict airflow to the engine. This will significantly reduce horsepower, while simultaneously increasing engine strain and fuel consumption.
By contrast, a 'depth loading' K&N Chevrolet Silverado Replacement Air Filter is made from 4-6 layers of high-flow cotton gauze that's suspended in a rugged polyethylene frame between 2 layers of aluminum screen. The signature red color comes from a proprietary oil that is used to treat the filter material. This causes the cotton fibers become sticky and capture dirt as air flows through the filter. That oil then soaks into the dirt particles, locking them inside the web of cotton fibers. It also turns the dirt into a filtration element, because other dirt particles will actually stick to them as air flows through the filter. The reusable K&N Replacement Air Filter can also go for up to 50,000 miles before cleaning is required (depending on road conditions). And using one of these high-flow drop-in K&N air filters won't void your Silverado factory warranty either. So whether you're looking for a Chevy Duramax diesel performance air filter to reduce engine strain. Or you just want a no-hassle performance increase for your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Z71, a low restriction K&N Direct Fit Air Filter helps provide excellent engine protection.

K&N 77-Series Performance Intake Systems - 2007-2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 | 2015 Chevrolet Silverado HD | 2011-2014 Chevrolet Silverado Duramax Designed specifically for truck applications, every Chevrolet Silverado K&N 77-Series Performance Intake System features ruggedized components that can withstand the harsh conditions that most pickups have to endure. These K&N Chevy Silverado Cold Air Intake Systems exchange the narrow factory intake tube for a wide-diameter aluminum intake tube, which has mandrel bent curves to eliminate turbulence and provide a more direct airflow path to the engine. An oversized K&N Performance Air Filter is used to increase the airflow volume over the restrictive OE Silverado airbox. And some applications come with a sturdy powder coated heat shield that prevents warm engine air from getting sucked into your K&N 77-Series Silverado performance intake system. All of this ingenuity was then dyno tested, and the results showed an estimated increase of 10.82 horsepower on a GMT900 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 6.2L, and an estimated increase of 19.94 horsepower / 19.75 lb-ft on a K2XX 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Duramax 6.6L. But of course, your results will depend on the mileage, modifications, and condition of your 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado GMT900 or 2014- Chevy Silverado K2XX.
