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

I order one for my 6.2L and got the free Throttle Controller.  Drive-ability was vastly improved from idle to part throttle to wide open.  So smooth and precise, then turned on the TC and wow is all I have to say over 30 positions to choose from, it took a while to figure the best one for me, haha, but I loved it! I was so happy at the results that I emailed Mike at Soler Performance about reworking the TB on my 2017 6.0L and he did..... It works even better on the 6.0L than the 6.2L as far as throttle response, I do not have the TC on the 6.0L but it runs so much better than before, I guess GM was starving them of air, who would have thought..... I do want to say thanks to Mike and Soler Performance great craftsmanship, fast turnaround, and great communication and knowledge.  I do not regret this upgrade at all, it's subtle but well worth it!! Thanks Mike!!

i do have the throttle enhance installed, I rarely use it now, and have reverted back to the stock factory setting as I found them more relaxing to drive in the city. and it improved my MPG using oem settings.

can you add a little knife edging and mill down the shaft a bit thinner?

We do for TB's with 12mm shafts. The 5.3L TB comes with a 10mm shaft, and that would be pushing it to the unsafe side.

how much for a milled down 6.2 thottle body?

If you send your own it's $275 for the whole rework. If you were referring to the work on the shaft only, it is $100.

Going to try out my freshly installed throttle body... Install took less then 10 minutes, although I have a K&N intake already so there's not much to remove. dee62f9eba02aa8a8cdd77bf729033b6.jpg

Just curious how much carbon you could see in the manifold. I had mine open the other day and there was a lot, which surprised me because it was clean last time I checked.

There was more than I expected. The throttle body was pretty nasty too..

If anyone was thinking about getting one of these, I definitely recommend it! One of the best mods so far... Drivability is great, easy to install and price is right!

It works awesome! I have about 11000 km on the Soler Throttle body and throttle controller now. I do not have a tune on my truck yet. Every time I would start from a stop the truck had lag or a "bog" when you stepped on the gas and "tipped in" the throttle. Now that bog is completely gone, she is as smooth as silk accelerating now. It seems to like WOT better now too, haven't experienced any knock ****** since the install. I like the SP-7 setting on the TC. Economy is the same as it was factory. Recently went on a 500 km round trip, about 20-22*C outside, and it averaged 9.5 L/100 km (25 mpg). Totally worth it!

 

tl;dr - BUY IT

Do you have a 5.3 or 6.2?

 

Did you also install the throttle controller or just the new throttle body.

 

Thanks!

I have the 5.3 and I also installed the throttle controller. Truck feels great! You won't be disappointed.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
