yeah that graph just looks like the oem TB with a throttle enhancer used to raise the midrange. doesnt seem like any upgrade over OEM to me..

With the TC you get the same airflow at every actual throttle position. The X axis is the blade angle/opening, not pedal depression.

Quick observation on this thread. As usual we have two sides naturally.    1.) I've tried it and this the result of that experience.  2.) I have NOT tried it and yet condemn it.

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 int

Try area under the curve Mike? They are not getting it. 

 

Liken your TC units to a camshaft. The throttle blade to the valve seats and ports. If you can visualize that then you might be inclined to see that  you can shape the valve seats OR you can add a cam with a quicker ramp rate or DO BOTH.  THEN tune the combination. If you don't see the value of this product never let me hear you got a multi angle valve job or high ratio rockers. :devil:

Appears this is for the 6.2L engine. anything for the 5.3L?

We now have throttle controllers too for all Gen 3 trucks, regardless of engine displacement. In stock and ready to ship. Tested by forum members. Check out their impressions.

I bought, installed, and like!

Impressions:

1) Soler offers awesome service and stand behind their product. I was picky and wanted a "like for like" part number in my swap, even though I sort of knew the older part number (pre-2018) and the newer part number 2018+, were practically the same. They had no problem with this and offered to send me another unit that was my same OEM part number.  

2) the porting looks great and you can tell why this would help. They do a nice job on the finish work. 

3) This is not a huge jump. It is subtle, but very noticeable. The throttle response and engine power feel quicker, and more smooth in building up to WOT. The idle at stop is smother as well.  

I am not positive, but I also have less engine knock at WOT. This had developed in the last few thousand miles and was something I meant to fix with BlackBear re-tune, or further investigation. After the swap, and a couple hundred miles of driving (empty roads make good WOT runs), the ping is gone. Maybe better air flow, maybe something else. 

 

I have the 6.2L engine with 32k, don't have a CAI, did replace the stock muffler with a MagnaFlow, removed the flapper, left the resonator, and tuned with BlackBear. I really like the truck's performance. 

 

I'd buy the Soler TB again, and would recommend it if you have the money to spare. 20200410_162528.thumb.jpg.3ee8b2ab35c6de9d61d269157f4c8b50.jpg

Thanks, Tom. We also have a throttle controller to spice up the throttle body, and they are now FREE with your throttle body purchase.

 

No other Mod will change your truck performance so much for so little, or your money back, including free return shipping.  This is a 15-min DIY, and warranty safe Mod that won't cost you a single penny to try for a month.

LOL...China or not, I installed mine this week and love it so far. I've only driven on it for 2 miles but it made all the difference in the world. Felt like dropping a tooth in the rear.

spend your money on a trans reprogram first, then buy the Spring booster or any throttle enhancer,  then get a set of the beefy sway bars .....then she'l feel right

Hi Mike, I've been looking at tb's for a while. What would you recommend for my 2018 6.2 w/ 2.3 Callaway supercharger? The Lt5? What mm do you port it to?

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      By ryan35205 · Posted

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      OCI, not when but why?

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).
