Thread: DBW pedal?

  1. #1

    DBW pedal?

    Can anyone give me a lead on an inexpensive DBW pedal? So far the prices I've been quoted were in the $150 range. That seems steep to me.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    if you can score the two togther (pedal and module). i got mine off eBay
    for $80 for the pair.
    one thing to watch out is the compatibility, some TAC modules and pedals
    my cause irratic behavior if not matched. i went through three TACs before
    finally getting the pedal and TAC from the same donor truck. eith the throttle
    was slow, unresponsive, or irratic and unconsistant.

    doesnt matter if from a silverado/sierra 4.8/5.3/6.0.. just so they match.

    So does the harness have to match or the pedal with the TB? My engine is from an 04 Envoy but the harness is from an 05 Sierra.
    So just what is the tac madule and what does it do?
    Thanks.

    TAC - Throttle Actuator Control module translates the pedal signal to
    a dc motor signal forthe throttle body.

    Thanks, that confirms the conclusion I came to while I was sitting in the hot tub. Someonee else had called it a tach box and that really had me going.
    So the problem matching that you had, was it the module or the pedal that was in conflict?

    Just get matching pedal and module from the same year group (99-02 and 03-06) and you should be fine. I've heard that if you mix and match year groups then that is when you start running into problems.

    PCM ===harness=== TAC module ===harness=== Pedal

    That is how it is set up.

    thats what i ran into...
    using the SSR VIN and programming and a 2003 c2500 TAC and pedal.
    all screwed up... changed VIN to 2003 silverado/sierra and viola! el worko!
    SSR parts maybe the same, but price is usually higher like that of the
    corvette.
