Problem with my new Volant

[dgeorgatos]

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.

I have the volant on my 08 and have no issues at all with it.

The issue is with 09+

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.

Just the negative battery cable needs to be disconnected, If you have a problem with the Volant CAI give me a call 909 481 3888

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!

pm me your number I will give you a call when I get a chance

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!

So, no new CEL issues? I don't really expect a performance increase over my Airaid MIT and the stock air box with K&N drop in, but I HATE the resonant sound I sometimes get at part throttle. Hard to believe all that funky tubing hanging off the stock intake tube makes a difference, but it does.

I will have to PM Daniel to see if he can help me out now. I removed my Volant CAI over 6 months ago and it is just sitting in the box in my garage.

So did this solve your CEL issue? If so, I might make the switch to get rid of the resonance at part throttle.

^ Would you be selling your MIT? If so, I will buy it for a good price.

 

[Fast55]

If Kirk confirms no more CEL trouble I will probably get the Volant and sell the MIT. It only costs $129 new.

 

[KMeloney]

It's only been a few weeks with the replacement Volant, but so far, so good. No CEL, knock on wood.

So, the very next day after adding my last post I got a CEL, and I couldn't clear it with the hand held tuner. I drove home from the shore, went right to the garage, and put the stock set up back on. I just don't think the Volant is going to work on the '09. Other years, yes. '09, I don't think so.

Damn that sucks. I've never had a CEL using the Airaid MIT and stock air box with K&N. I do think there's a performance increase over the stock tube and filter. I can't understand what the difference would be between that and the Volant that would throw a code. It's pretty cheap if you want to try that instead.

 

[KMeloney]

I think I'm going to go with a drop-in [to the oem box] K&N filter. I need to spend more time with the oem set up, but I think that there may be less surging at slow speeds with the oem set up, too.

I got mine for a $100 flat/shipped.

What year is your car? I think the issue is with 09+ only. The 07-08 have the MAF sensor located in a different spot and that might have something to do with it.
