Tomorrow I receive my ported TB. I was wondering if there was anything I should know of or is it as simple as unscrewing 3 bolts and putting the new one in? Thanks. Oh, 10mm socket too, right?

 

Might as well do the TB coolant bypass mod while you're there. It should drop your IATs a little bit.

 

I already have it done.

I kind of wish I didn't. Personally I don't think it's worth the risk of the blade freezing open in the winter. Oh well.

 

nothing in particular u have to watch out but change gasket if u want.
just enjoy ur ported TB

 

That's why I didn't do mine....although I have thought about doing the mod in the summer and switching it back for winter when I "winterize" the truck (winterize= swap off JGP 20's and install Toyo 275/70-16 AT's, swap wipers with winter blades, lube front end and change oil if necessary, etc. etc.)

I just keep forgetting to do it lol

 

Be prepared for.............................









































Nothing

 

Typically they only ice up at idle, you don’t have to worry about it sticking wide open.

 

Is the throttle body freezing up REALLY that big of an issue up north?

 

I read a story about a guy who did the mod and it froze up on him on a highway trip. Said the speed just kept increasing, had to slam as hard as he could on the brakes to get it to stop.

 

or put it in neutral...
what a dumbass
