Could possibly be TCC dragging a bit but he mentioned having a Dorman throttle body installed and ordering an OEM one..I'd await to see the results of the swap there as I bet that fixes the problem..Dorman makes garbage for the most part...@NickTransmissions any idea's? could it be something in the transmission, tc lockup, etc

he also stated he tried his friends TB and same results, also had the Idle bumped up and same result.Could possibly be TCC dragging a bit but he mentioned having a Dorman throttle body installed and ordering an OEM one..I'd await to see the results of the swap there as I bet that fixes the problem..Dorman makes garbage for the most part...
Thanks for the additional info - I didn't see those comments, just looked at the previous page.he also stated he tried his friends TB and same results, also had the Idle bumped up and same result.
would the tuner be able to TC status on a drive test?
Have you put a vacuum gauge on the engine at idle? Looks like you replaced and/or checked quite a few things (just read your first post)...Ok, bumped the idle from the factory 550 in gear, and 500 in park or nuetral up 50rpms on both. So rpms are still dropping down to 350 when braking, and now its starting to do it even at low speeds, but i think its the temperatures causing it. When it was cooler out it only did it on medium to hard braking. It did make it a little peppier off the line, so will keep the new settings, or do you guys recommend setting it to 650, which seems alot.
Didnt realize you were in Vegas - so am I....PM me if you need any help and we can take a look at it together at some pointOk, datalogged the driving. Engine load at idle in gear and braking is 23% to 25%, regardless of braking force, which is normal for these tahoes. This means nothing with the tranny, and no extra drag from pullies, even AC on and off was only maybe 2% more drag.
My tuner only allows 50rpm increase increments. But it showed base idle values at 600rpm idle in park, and 500rpm idle in drive. So i bumped it to 600 and returned the park idle to 600.
Now braking it only drops to 450rpm, and 400 when hard braking. This is much more acceptable and didnt feel like it was shaking that much or surging when it dipped. Plus off the line in summer in Vegas makes it feel more like a Power Wheels, than a truck. It takes off nicely now if i need it to. Im gonna just give up at this point. It drives much nicer, i can live with it.
If there is any change with the new TB, ill post, but not expecting anything.
Thanks for helping all, it did give me routes to take that escapped me.
