See if this loads better

I can see it at .04 sec in the video, a good (bad news) wobble.

DDP

I really couldn't see it but I'm sure its there, got mine replaced a couple of months ago.

This should be a warranty item. Totally a manufactures failure.

Man that does not look bad to me.

Bobby,

You did a REAAALLLY good job of catching your PS pump...which is good BTW......others are already confusing it for the HB.

I see it a .03 - .05 seconds, it does have a good wobble. OP, any belt chirp at cold start up?

EVRose

You'd have a much better view from the passenger side.

Nope, find that odd too but the belt looks a little funny on one edge. Its really hard to photo it, limited access and lighting but at those time frames you can see it wobble

I tried Rose but that damn Hiemholtz box or whatever its called really limits visibility, cant hardly see it.

EVRose

Well ****, that sucks then. I don't have one of those on mine.

Not So Fast

I sort of wish I didn't have one but the guys that have removed them say they get surging at cruising RPMs, something about they smooth out the air supply, who knows
Bobby

Jclgodale3

that's a fairly minimal wobble. Mine was twice as bad as that

Yeah, my HB wobbled liked that and the belt was frayed on the edge and squeaked. I went with an ATI and all is good.

Good luck

Here's what mine looked like before I had it replaced...


This is what it looks like now....

Not So Fast

Thanks Erik, I cant really see mine like you could because of that damn black box attached to the air snoot, but what I can see looks to be not quite as bad as yours but close. I just don't want to take a chance.
Any problems after doing it ? AH codes, service anything pop up ??

Bobby ... What I did was buy a used Z06 air intake assembly from a guy selling it on the For Sale forum here.

It's the same as the regular LS3 air intake minus the big ol' silencer.

Smoother idle than the aftermarket "Airaid" air intake that I used to have on the car.

I'm just scared to even go look at mine with all these reports of failures. I remember reading once that no one seems to remember one of the hand built engines having a failure. I'm sure that is not true but a guy and dream.

Not So Fast

Ron: Thats just a Z06 intake? Did it fit everything Ok like the MAF, any problems after installing? How much ??

I hate that ugly silencer box. I always throw a blackwing on myself, or a Z intake.

Turbo6TA

Yup ... just a Z06 / LS7 intake housing.

It is a carbon copy of the LS3 intake housing except that there is no silencer on it.

Fit perfectly in the car using the original plastic push-pins and the original rubber bellows that fits between the intake housing and the throttle body.

The MAF sensor mount on the LS7 intake is exactly the same as on the LS3 air intake.

I paid $110 (shipped). I did not get the air filter element with it since my original filter element only had about 2,500 miles on it (so I just used my old element).

The GM part number for this Z06 intake housing is 15839508 (does not include the replaceable filter element).

Ron,
