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.

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.

2011-2014 Ford F250 Super Duty Trucks Get Simple Add-on Power from AEM Air Intake

AEM 21-9124DS Brute Force HD performance air intake system
Few things are more ubiquitous than the pickup truck. America loves trucks. It starts innocent enough, sometimes with the first toy front-loader when you're a kid, or with memories of a night drive on country road, under a sky raining stars- small trucks, big trucks, monster trucks- it doesn't matter or have to make sense. That would be like questioning baseball or apple pie.

For the past 35 years the truck Americans have loved the most is the Ford F-Series, and they proved it by making it not only the best selling truck over that period, but the best-selling vehicle in America. Sitting on the throne of the F-Series kingdom is the Ford F250 Super Duty 6.7L Diesel. This is a seriously huge pickup truck and strikes a bold presence next to older, smaller, F-Series trucks. In 2011, Ford replaced the 6.4L Navistar diesel engine in favor of an all-new, all-Ford 6.7L twin turbo V8 cranking out 400 horsepower and an absurd 800 lb-ft of torque. In the words of the philosopher Mel Brooks, "It's good to be the King."

If you're the kind of power junkie that still needs more, AEM has the solution - the new 21-9124DS Brute Force HD Diesel Intake System designed specifically for 2011 and 2012 Ford F250 Super Duty 6.7L diesel trucks. The 21-9124DS air intake produces impressive horsepower and torque gains of an estimated 8 horsepower and 20 lb-ft of torque by reducing air restriction, as well as adding a more characteristic and fitting engine sound for the 6.7L Ford than the factory air box and air filter is capable of doing.

The AEM 21-9124DS air box seals out hot engine bay air, while creating less restriction of air flow compared to the stock intake system. The result is a system that provides air to the engine closer to outside temperatures under most driving conditions with less air restriction which are keys to additional power and performance. This Brute Force HD Diesel Intake System includes a filter minder gauge so you'll know when the filter needs to be cleaned, with no need to disassemble the air box in order to check it visually. When it is time to clean the Dryflow synthetic air filter element it's completely washable and reusable and will continue to provide outstanding air flow, filtration, and performance for many years. AEM air intake systems are made in the USA and come with a Lifetime Limited Warranty.

The Brute Force HD air intake for the F250 diesel features a massive AEM reusable Dryflow® air filter element, part number 21-2288DK, with a larger surface area over the regular filter. The AEM 21-9124DS air intake system also offers a fully enclosed air box in which to house the huge air filter, and offers a five inch diameter outlet.

An included comprehensive, easy to follow instruction sheet, featuring detailed photos leads you step-by-step thorough the straightforward installation. You can even watch an instructional video on AEM's website.

Vehicle Applications for 21-9124DS:

2014 Ford F250 Super Duty 6.7L V8 Diesel
