2017 Chevrolet Silverado HD Features a New Intake System

DURAND, Mich., – Introducing the newest way to divert dry cool air into the engine of your truck, the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado HD features a new intake system. The new system brings sustained performance and lower engine temperatures, even during tough driving conditions. Cooler engine temperatures help the truck run better overall, especially in the harshest testing environment. “While developing this all-new induction system, we considered our customers towing a maximum-weight trailer through the Eisenhower Tunnel on a hot, rainy summer day,” said Eric Stanczak, chief engineer, Silverado HD.

Weather: The functional hood scoop uses an air/water separator to ensure only clean, dry air enters the engine. Rain doesn’t pose a huge threat to the intake system, the more worrisome issue for developers was the mist on wet roads and smaller water droplets. The new system managed water droplets of all kinds with ease during testing.

Elevation: The Eisenhower Tunnel, mentioned above is the highest vehicle tunnel at 11,000 feet above sea level. Higher elevations change the air quality. The Chevy Silverado performed well in all testing environments.

Towing: When driving on the highway at higher speeds, the ram-air effect helps push air into the engine. Tested at the highest towing capacity, the new intake system is designed to keep the engine cool even when it is under high duress.

The 2017 Chevrolet Silverado HD features a new intake system that was extensively tested for the highest performance capabilities. We’re looking forward to this truck!
