I would stick the stock air filter back on before going to dealer..

My bet is you have oil residue on your Mass Airflow Sensor from the reusable filter you put in. Is the filter you put in a K&N w/ the redish color oil on it?

I don't like betting against myself. Extended warranties are the biggest profit center the dealer has. Wouldn't do it. Would stop driving it though.

Extended warranties, it is a huge profit for the dealer, and the manufacturer, because the odds are, you will never need it. That is true for any extended warranty everywhere and anywhere on anything. You think the offer it to you thinking they are going to loose on it?
But, if you do need it, it can be a financial life saver.
Sort of like the lotteries, odds are you will sink more into them than you will ever win, much better of investing your money, But, if you win the big one, and someone does,

They may be the biggest profit center and if I don't use it then great. I don't like getting that nothing will ever happen though on advanced machinery. Tranny, turbo, electrical, motor, any of that goes and its paid for and fixed correctly by a certified dealer. I've done the get fixed cheaper somewhere else before, didn't go so well.

Ok guys good news! I think I may know what happened here. When I was installing my Anzo headlights I had to remove the push tabs on the air intake duct scoop in order to access a ground to connect a relay wire for the hid kit I installed. Putting everything back together I found that one of the two push tabs wouldn't go all the way in. If you can imagine the flat top of the tab sitting at 30 degree angle to the surface it was being mounted into. To me it felt secure and I didn't think much of it. Anyway, since I can't have my truck looked at until tomorrow and also being Sunday I spent a good while looking around at everything that could remotely be related to the problem I was experiencing. I was getting really frustrated because I could find no leaks, tears, disconnected lines, or anything that looked damaged. I was literally about to close the hood when I noticed the air intake tabs BOTH undone!! I thought how could they have both come undone? I sort of lifted up the intake scoop and tried to move it around to see what it would take to get the push tabs out. It wasn't much and when it did snap up I saw the lower part of the scoop bend upwards blocking a good portion of the entire scoop. It got me thinking and I believe when going at higher speeds the push pins must have lifted up and the scoop became loose causing it to lift and block a large amount of air from entering the engine. I got some leftover gorilla double sided mounting tape and taped that sucker down. Ok so now I thought should I test drive it? I don't want to mess my engine up or turbos more than they already could be. I took the risk and it payed off. I went around my neighborhood taking it easy and while at first I couldn't hear the turbos even under light acceleration but in time I could hear them coming back on!! I was sooooooooo excited! Not only did my engine feel like it once did but the check engine light went away when I was driving it! Guys I can't describe how happy I am! I'm still going to bring my truck into the dealer to see what they say and take a deeper look into my truck and see if any harm was done. I also did notice that my engine engine idles maybe 100 rpms or so more than usual. I just changed my oil to some good synthetic two weeks ago and it lowered my idle to just a hair over the 500 rpm mark. So I hope the dealer can see what the deal is with that. Alrighty guys so this may have been 100% my fault but I'm still glad I was able to figure it out. Also more importantly thank you guys so much for taking the time and telling me where to look and giving me great advice.

It's actually a spectre, I think they're k&n knockoffs and it looks exactly like it red color and all. Yeah I know I went the cheap route, but I actually did notice better mpg of 1.7 on a highway trip I've taken multiple times. Around town I can't really tell though. I'm not sure if oil residue is the direct cause because I think I found the problem but maybe it has to do with the higher rpms at idle I'm experiencing. Thanks for the tip and I'll let the dealer know about it as well.

Apparently the spectre filter I got doesn't void warranties but yeah I'll stick my old one in there just in case lol.

No, mine is like an oem filter just reusable. I did find that my intake scoop became loose and was blocking itself, so that's probably where the squealing was coming from!

Gotta be careful working on your truck my man. These are expensive machines lol.
