I’ve heard some people having good luck resetting the throttle body using a simple procedure. Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. Might help!
I was skeptical at first, but it worked for my buddy’s truck! Definitely worth a try.
I think we’re overcomplicating it. Sometimes, it’s just a dirty throttle body. A good cleaning can do wonders!

True! It’s often the simplest things that cause the most headaches.
Anyone ever think about how ironic it is that ‘drive by wire’ can sometimes mean ‘drive by frustration’?
Hey everyone! I’m diving into LS swaps and am curious about drive by wire throttle bodies. Any suggestions on aftermarket options?

So true! It feels like the more high-tech they make things, the more issues we run into.
Check out the Holley throttle body. I’ve heard good things about its performance and compatibility with LS setups!
I went with a Rossler throttle body and it really opened up my performance. Just make sure to verify the wiring harness compatibility!
That’s a great point! I learned the hard way with my first build.

Has anyone tried the FAST LSXR throttle body? I’ve heard it can significantly improve throttle response.
I ran into some issues with my FAST throttle body initially. It was a performance boost, but tuning was a nightmare!
That’s discouraging! Tuning can make or break the experience.
In my experience, a good tune can turn around any setup. Look for tuners with experience in LS drive by wire systems.
What about price? Some of these throttle bodies are so expensive! Are they really worth it?
Totally! You get what you pay for in terms of performance and reliability.

I think we can all agree that performance mods are a slippery slope. Once you start, you can’t stop! 
So true! That’s why budgeting is crucial for upgrading throttle bodies and other mods!
