Cold Air Intake for GMC Jimmy Sonoma Chevy S10 & Chevy Blazer (1996-2004) 4.3L Engine

Performance Cold Air Intake System with Heat Shield for 1996–2004 GM 4.3L V6

The GM 4.3L Vortec V6 powered some of the most dependable compact trucks and SUVs of the late '90s and early 2000s—models like the S-10, Blazer, Jimmy, and Sonoma. Known for their bulletproof reliability, these vehicles often rack up 200,000+ miles with proper maintenance. This cold air intake system is designed to give your proven 4.3L V6 the airflow it needs to deliver stronger performance without sacrificing that legendary durability.

The factory intake prioritizes quiet operation, but that comes at the cost of restricted airflow. This system replaces the stock airbox with a high-flow design that pulls cooler, denser air directly into your engine. The included steel heat shield blocks radiant engine heat, preventing heat soak and ensuring consistently cooler intake temperatures. The result is noticeable gains in horsepower and torque, plus sharper throttle response when you need it most—whether towing a boat or passing on two-lane highways.

Installation Note

Disconnect the negative battery cable before installation and leave it disconnected for at least one minute after completing the install. This allows your ECU to recalibrate for the increased airflow. Always work on a completely cooled engine.
