Well I changed the plugs out last week on my 2000 dakota 4.7, when i took the air hat off i noticed my throttle body was quite dirty on the outside so i could only imagine the inside but i didnt have any cleaner so i ended up buying some yesterday and heres a few pics from it. I should get an award for this 1500000 Kms and i bet this is the first time its ever been cleaned! truthfully i didnt find any real difference afterward, i even picked up some seafoam and ran it through today also, right after i cleaned this and got little to no smoke out of it and still i feel no difference. is this normal or am i just crazy?

That's really not to bad on my wife's 99 rango with 180k never been cleaned it took me 2.5 hrs to disassemble and clean it I had a razor blade to scrape all the crap off

 

didn't look bad at all.

 

i still have to get around to cleaning mine

 

I dont have a pic of it anymore. Not that I can find anyway. But my woods beater had 216k on it and the throttle body was never off!
