Throttle body from Soler Performance

[bartstan]

I  have a 2018 Denali 1500 6.2 liter truck and was wanting something to wake up the truck. The throttle response on the truck was not very good. Only mods I have on the truck are an airraid junior intake with an aftermarket air filter and a catback exhaust from MBRP.  After trying a BBK throttle body that fit but that would not run correctly without getting the truck tuned, I found the folks at Soler Performance. I purchased https://www.solerengineering.com/store/se8223-100, which is a stock throttle body the truck that has been machined and massaged by the folks at Soler Performance. My Denali has awakened! It is as if the truck has been tuned but it has not at least not yet. Throttle response is much better. This mod was well worth the money. Thanks Mike you definitely make a great product.

How much money did you waste on that?  Should have just gotten a tuner.

sounds good, i like to hear more people try it before i buy

I put mine on yesterday morning in 10 minutes. As was said by OP the lazy part throttle operation is gone. The main purpose of the mod is a refinement of part throttle response. Large TB just has an inherent shortcoming that this mod fixes no tuner needed. I first put one on the supercharged CTSV on the strength of the posted literature. It completely fixed the muddy drivability it had so got one for the truck wit same great result.

I have a CTSV and stock with the oem throttle body, the drivability is hardly “muddy”. 
 

I think this is in your heads guys. Either way if it feels like it drives better then it’s worth the money I suppose

One of those “I spent a lot of money so it has to be better” situations.

OR, "I can't afford one so it must be junk" situations.

The 14 and up GM trucks I’ve driven I wouldn’t call lazy. I wonder what people were driving prior to their truck purchase. I came from a daily sports car and blown truck. I was satisfied with my 5.3 throttle response even before a tune. Calling a 6.2 lazy is laughable. More snake oil.

Not my situation, crusty bear.

I'm definitely not on meds or hallucinating. A new 18 CTSV From a stop or coasting at zero throttle you push for some power and get a momentary hesitation and then abrupt power as you push a bit more waiting for it to "HIT". That sort of response is not expected on a top of the line car. say what you will but smooth crisp response is what I got. The truck not as big of a deal but still part throttle was lazy. Maybe that refinement is lost on the types that see the throttle as an on/off switch.

I don't have this TB but I do have a 17 Silverado 5.3 and a 16 cts-v and both are stock. Both exhibit this. It is always when coasting then part throttle.

Pedal Commander to trick the system? I have it and sure makes driving the truck enjoyable. Sometimes the touchy throttle surprises me if i get on it hard.

One caution: You have to find the sweet spot in the adjustments where if you go over, you will get throttle positioning engine code. Go couple notches below that and you should be code free.

Makes sense, but then wouldn't we all fork out for a 102mm throttle body? Is it a world of difference better or just marginally? Who really knows what helps the response on these things. Some have gone as far as to bolt a paint stick to the back of the fuel pedal for improvement. I have driven GM's since the fly by wire pedal in the early 2000's so I am very used to GM pedals now. When I get in a Ram or Ford I find I am driving like I have a paralyzed foot, spinning up the road everywhere.

i just bought this one to try before upgrading to the 6.2L tb... this unit is also have valet mode and throttle lock so no one can drive the truck who is unwise to the device...: )

Yep, i had Sprint Booster on my Diesel BMW X5, makes a huge difference on how it drives. Adds no power but makes it more enjoyable to drive.

SB and Pedal Commander does the same thing essentially.
