DOD/VVT delete necessary? i have 5.3l lmg from an 09 tahoe and i am wondering if i need to delete dod and vvt. i have read and looked up kits but i have the motor in the car and have started the motor before i knew about the deletes. the motor runs ok for the most part it only runs on 12 volts instead of regular 13-14 range. the motor also has a steady idle but sometimes has a hiccup and will run up and down about 200-300 rpm but smoothes out if i give it some gas i believe this is caused by low voltage. i also don't have 02 sensors yet. so my question is are the dod and vvt functions causing the trouble and if not why should i buy the delete kits if the motor runs half way with them unplugged.

yes i do have a factory tune. i did not think the problems were caused by the dod/vvt but if the motor runs why should i get the delete kits? is there an advantage or a reason to get the kits?

Your better off keeping it. The only reason for deleting is aftermarket cam/valvetrain parts and high RPM usage.
