What's your truck doing? Is it just not idling right or do you have problems while you're driving? What else do you have done?

Re: throttle body

the inlet in the intake manifold is smaller than the ammount of air coming into it...it's probably throwing off the computer somehow.

Re: throttle body

It is saying decreased enging power in the odometer screen. its like the computer is shutting down half the motor.
