Default The dreaded reduced power light

Ok so I've read countless posts about this but let me tell you what I have. I have a 2003 chevy tahoe with a 4.8 v8. So my reduced power light came on so I had the codes read. It says I have a bad throttle body so I replaced it. Still not fixed so I replaced the throttle body pig tail still no fix. Any other ideas I have to go out of town soon

what were the codes? there are no codes that say the throttle body is bad or any other part in most cases. Where did you get your replacement part?
