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.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By Keith179 · Posted

      I’m out of ideas on this truck. 2020 Silverado 1500. 5.3 135,000 miles. Has a p0308 and p050d codes. Smokes From exhaust when cold. Compression test passed. New plugs, wires and coil on cyl 8. Same issue. New coil on 8, no change. Replaced injectors, no change. Bore scope showed oil pooled on the piston after sitting overnight. Pulled head and had machine shop check it out. No cracks. Stem seals looked good, replaced anyways. He also ground valve seats. Put it all back together and still have the same issue. Bore scope shows oil on the piston again. Leaning towards maybe a cracked ring but unsure. Cylinder looked good when the head was off, no scoring or scratches. Any ideas on what else I should look for?  Appreciate the help

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.
