I am doing a dod delete on my 2007 Tahoe 5.3 I will be replacing my valve springs with BTR .560" BEEHIVE VALVE SPRINGS and a BTR GEN III & IV TRUCK CAM - STAGE 2 SPECS: 212/218 .553/.553 111+0 everything else is stock I know I have to tune out the DOD but will I have other problems or will it run ok
It will still need a tune to cover the rest of the stuff. Idle, airflow, fueling all need to be gone over when doing a camshaft.
Starting it and running it on just the DoD delete will be fine but will need lots more work after that.
2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.
If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.
We have done a dod delete a few times and works fine with those chevy 5.3s
I just did a DoD delete on my 2007 Tahoe 5.3 with the exact same cam! (with other bolt-ons... intake, headers, exhaust)
It will start on the stock tune, but the idle will hunt a little after the startup RPM drops. Almost to the point it'll sound like it's about to die, but it doesn't.
I do get some lean codes from the ECM, but I still haven't tweaked anything other than the DoD delete yet.
I'm still working on the tuning, and haven't taken it for it's first road test yet. So I can't give you any real pointers on dialing it in yet (still a noob myself).
have you got this tuned correctly? i have the same setup on my 07 tahoe and want to compare. tuning is completely new to me and need to practice more. would like to compare. thanks?Originally Posted by testa_rossa
