Just wanted to say I cleaned my throttle today and I saw an immediate difference in the truck. everyone with a rough idle or a vibration at 900-1000 rpm should look into this. both were problems I had and after cleaning the throttle and intake my idle is so smooth I have to stare at the needle to see any movement. also if you look back at my posts I had a vibration at 1000 rpm or so and so far that seems gone as well, If there is any change I will update this post for future reference to anyone that reads this. by the way the truck is a 2009 Silverado 5.3 ext cab z71 with afm. hope this helps anyone else with those problems

Guys, I'd like a bit of your thoughts/advice, please. I owned a 2008 6.0 "Vortec Max" Silverado 1500 CC; it had a major engine failure at 40,000 miles in 2010; I replaced it with a 2011 6.2 1500 CC. I loved both of them. The throttle response was stellar--the 2011 in particular is very peppy; it flat out flies. No problems with it besides the paint coming off of the steering wheel and HVAC controls. Anyway, I ordered a 2015 6.2 crew cab; my TPW is 3/2. To be honest, I'm getting increasingly nervous that the '15 is going to disappoint me in terms of throttle response, not to mention all of the vibration horror stories. Has anybody else gone from a GMT900 6.2 to a 2015 6.2/8 speed? If so, what are your thoughts? Thanks!

hi, i have a 97 chevy c1500 4.3 vortex v6 that was given to me. It had sat for about a year and a half before i picked it up. When i received it i put a new fuel pump and filter cleaned out the gas tank. It ran fine for 2 or 3 days and i drove 45 miles and it run fine. one day i drove it about 20 miles and it stalled, immediately when it started it would go then cut out again you couldn't go 50 ft without it losing power. The next day i changed the tps then cleaned the aic helped slightly but not much. Well come to find out my catalytic converter was blowing out honeycomb so we replaced it with a muffler since the real muffler had been cut (and no not directly under the truck we piped it out then put the muffler under the bed). It will idle but still wont run correctly i have heard there might be 2 fuel filters i will check that tomorrow. i will also ohm the 02 sensors to make sure the are working properly but they appear to be fine. Can anyone help me?
