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.

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
