i would say you probably messed up the electronics in the tb. brake cleaner is some strong stuff,

 

you got that ground back there behind the power steering bracket right?

 

Yeah I got the big bitch behind the steering pump. I would have to think that I screwed up the TB with the brake cleaner in the throat??????? Its all I can think of. I know that it is a big bummer to have a new 408 in the truck and the truck will not even run for more then 20 seconds and its all under reduced power. I was thinking about renting a new Z71 tomorrow and try the throttle body?

You dont know anyone at work or friends with a DBW tb?

 

This is not Texas thats for sure, there are very few guys with trucks. Damn it I just need a few parts to do some troubleshooting

 

Yeah they are everywhere.

 

I wonder if the 06 Silverado TB and TAC are the same as the one's on mine? I am seriously thinking about renting a new Silverado tomorrow and using it for troubleshooting purposes.

 

Thats a pretty wild idea there RIC, At least you got the motor in so hopefully its something minor you got going on. Good luck man

 

Well I went through with my plan on troubleshooting using an 06 rental Silverado with the 5.3 I first plugged in the throttle body and I got the same P1518 code with reduced power. I then took the TAC out of the 06 and with both of them in my truck I still got the P1518 code! I am not too happy with this crap, I am about to pay someone to figure this out for me.
