Can a cold air intake cause your truck to stall?

It shouldn't cause in idle or low speed issues - - because at idle or low speed the air system on a stock vehicle is not even near it air flow max capacity. At high speed or under a big load the air intakes on stock are still adequated but do cause some restriction that is compensated for by the MAF and other FI related sensors. Hence a CAI would not supply any additional function at idle/low rpm low load condtions. Stalling at idle - should not be a problem

So this would be a TRD (so factory?) intake setup on a Toyota? I would think/hope that Toyota isn't as dumb as the aftermarket in selling parts that don't help or even hurt performance, but I can't guarantee that. IIRC, most of the TRD parts are ridiculous like wheels and shift knobs that do nothing, so who knows.

If it increases performance it should need a tune afterwards. If you just want it for looks, go for it, but in terms of power, absolutely near the bottom of the barrel for effectiveness.

It depends on multiple things like if there is anything abstracting the flow of air into your engine for example your intake might be too close to your hood, radiator or your fender also sometimes there is debri left inside air intake systems and cold air intake filter systems get wet really easy so be careful next time you install that ****.

I don't understand this "cold air intake" fad. My 04 Silverado draws air into the filter box from the fender well. That's as "cold" as it gets.
