No clue if it makes a difference, but bought a 90mm TB.

I have been deciding on whether to get a larger throttle body for mine as well. From what I have read, they can add a little more power, but the tune will have to be adjusted to take advantage of it.

Still at body shop. Been driving an Audi Q5 for a couple weeks. Not bad, but I miss having the giant vehicle. Drivers out there are absolutely insane.

Got the yukon back finally. Feels like driving a literal land yacht after the audi lol.

I went to go do a 0-60 run for fun and I accidentally did a 6000 rpm burnout lmfao. I never did a 0-60 with TCS and stabilitrak off. I forgot I was in 2wd mode, tached it up to 2300 and let it rip. Immediately squeeled and revved up to 6000 rpms. I just went home after that lol.

One thing I have noticed is I haven't heard my air compressor kick on in a while. The shocks felt firm still, but I thought it was supposed to bleed the air out and kick on every key turn? Maybe the Dorman is different idk.

The Dorman is different. It doesn’t run the self check and kick on with every key turn like the OEM pump does. But it does kick in when I hook up the camper and the back end sags. Brings it right back to level. Took me a while to figure that out.

Its funny how quickly you get used to power. One of the worst things about modding.

I swore my truck felt weak and thought something was wrong. So I got my hptuners out and timed a 0-60 run.

Felt like it was crawling to 60.

Subtracted end time minus start time and got 5.36 seconds. Thats a full 2 seconds faster than my modded 5.3 was.

I guess the sheer weight of the vehicle makes it hard to feel the difference.
