Silver Bullet spacer for exact engine and intake requirements

The aFe 46-34016 is the specified 6.2L GM spacer. Its exact kit contains a spacer and gasket and reuses the factory throttle-body screws, rather than including the longer hardware supplied with other GM spacers.

Key Features

  • 6061-T6 billet-aluminum serrated/helix entry design; claimed turbulence and reduced whistle do not guarantee an improvement on every setup.
  • The exact manual preserves the factory manifold O-ring and adds the supplied gasket on the throttle-body side.
  • Current fitment note covers the stated 2014–2019 aFe intake family; verify clearance and connections for the actual later setup.
  • Manufacturer gains are test claims, not guaranteed results for every engine or configuration.

Fitment

Years / source scope Model Exact requirements
2014–2026 current family; manual through 2024 Silverado / Sierra 1500 V8 6.2L only
2015–2024 exact manual Escalade / Escalade ESV V8 6.2L only
2018–2024 Tahoe; 2019–2024 Suburban Chevrolet Tahoe / Suburban V8 6.2L only
2014–2024 printed manual scope Yukon / Yukon Denali; Yukon XL / Denali XL V8 6.2L only; verify actual model-year engine and assembly

46-34016: The current family headline reaches 2026, but the linked manual’s individual model table ends in 2024. Its Yukon range begins in 2014; that printed range is not proof that every listed 2014 grade has the same 6.2L assembly. The page’s intake-compatibility note specifically addresses aFe intakes for 2014–2019 GM 1500 6.2L trucks, so the later headline is not blanket approval for all later intake designs. Legacy grades remain conditional on exact engine and assembly evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 46-34016?

A model- and engine-specific Silver Bullet throttle-body spacer, not a complete intake or replacement throttle body.

Does it include a filter or coupling?

The exact parts list below governs. Generic manufacturer page fields do not establish a supplied intake filter or coupling for this spacer.

Are gains guaranteed?

No. Turbulence, throttle-response and whistle statements are manufacturer design claims, not guaranteed horsepower, fuel-economy or sound results for the actual engine.

Which sealing parts are used?

Retain the factory manifold O-ring; place the supplied gasket between spacer and throttle body, with TOP facing outward and upward.

What is the correct torque?

Four reused factory throttle-body screws: 88 in-lb in the exact manual. Do not substitute the 45 or 89 in-lb value from another spacer.

Are all original search rows certified?

The current family headline reaches 2026, but the linked manual’s individual model table ends in 2024. Its Yukon range begins in 2014; that printed range is not proof that every listed 2014 grade has the same 6.2L assembly. The page’s intake-compatibility note specifically addresses aFe intakes for 2014–2019 GM 1500 6.2L trucks, so the later headline is not blanket approval for all later intake designs. Legacy grades remain conditional on exact engine and assembly evidence.

Can another spacer’s instructions be substituted?

No. Gaskets, O-rings, brackets, screw sizes, control cables and intake restrictions differ by exact part number.

Does the EO reference cover every application?

The current page states this part is not CARB exempt and gives California sales/use restrictions. Do not borrow D-550-11 or D-550-17 coverage from a different GM spacer.

Installation Instructions

  1. Read the exact manufacturer instructions for 46-34016, verify the actual engine, intake, hardware and applicable emissions scope before removal.
  2. For the manual’s 2019 configuration, disconnect one crankcase hose and rotate the intake tube counterclockwise after loosening both clamps; for 2014–2018 it describes two hoses and removal of the tube. Verify the actual later configuration rather than assuming an unchanged hose count.
  3. Disconnect the throttle-body wiring harness, remove its four factory screws and retain them. Leave the original manifold sealing O-ring in place.
  4. Orient TOP outward and upward. Place the supplied gasket between spacer and throttle body, then secure the assembly with the four retained factory screws.
  5. Tighten the factory screws to 88 in-lb without overtightening. Reconnect the throttle-body harness, reinstall the intake tube and reconnect the correct crankcase hose or hoses.
  6. Inspect all connections and recheck screws and clamps after 100 miles.

46-34016: installation details and any unresolved source scope must be matched to the actual vehicle before use.
