Let me know if the BB Tune takes care of the issue. I have removed the Volant CAI because I had to pass a county inspection and could not pass with the CEL.

SO what I got is before you install disconnect battery, both cables, install, reconnect? Will this or will this not stop the truck throwing a code? I am ready to buy/install a CAI.

Volant Guy -- I'd be interested in any info you'd be talking about over the phone regarding throwing codes on an '09. I now throw a code once a month (which I can clear on my EFI live, thankfully), and would rather I NOT be throwing the codes in the first place.

Thanks!

Kirk, if there is a permanent fix that isn't a secret, post it here. I've held off on a Volant because of this (and the recommendation from BB to use a K&N drop in) and I really don't want additional noise. The 6.2 with stock exhaust is throaty enough for me. I like the truck as quiet as possible but always could use more power. The BB tune isn't what I hoped for on the 6.2 and I don't think the 6 speed would appreciate a blower.

Will do!

After talking to Daniel (aka "Volant1" above), it sounds as though my o-ring that came with my kit is most likely the culprit to my codes. Daniel is sending me out some new stuff that should solve the code issues.

If you are having problems with your '09+ and Volant, or if you're considering one but are concerned that you, too, might have code issues, just drop Daniel an email through the Volant site (or PM him from here). He called me at the number I PM'ed him and we went over my set up and concerns. Really nice guy, and will go out of his way to help you. It's obvious that he wants his customers to be happy -- and for his products to work well for his customers.

Daniel, fi you're reading this (and I know that you are), thanks again for your help!
