Alright i was trying to put this throttle body spacer on my 2001 GMC Sierra 5.3L last night, i had a hard time trying to keep the holes lined up. Well i decided to wait for my dad to get home so he could help me out. He got two of the bolts done and tight, when he went to tighten the last one, He broke the bolt off inside of my intake, i was wondering, how hard will it be to get that out? Thanks to who ever responds

a small lefthand drill bit works great on stuff like that.
or drill a tiny hole in the bolt and use a EZOUT..

Once you get that bolt out leave that spacer off unless it has spray bars or holes in it for nitrous..

I was afraid someone was going to mention trying to crawl through their LAN cable or fly through their WiFi and offer to slap someone for mentioning a throttle body spacer.

Ya, do yourself a favor and leave the TB spacer off and sell it to get your money back.

the only reason i put it on was for better gas mileage, cause i gotta make a 800 mile trip in like 2 weeks, and id like the better gas and its also says its suppose to add like 40 HP on the box so i figured it may be worth it, im also getting a cold air intake this weekend for better gas but thanks for the help guys

They are a scam.

CAI, TB Spacer.. none of that helps with gas mileage.
5.3 doesnt need much air to cruise.

Stock intake and everything is good.


A light foot and Custom Tune from Blackbearperformace will be your best bet for gas mileage.
