Not to be a dick or anything, but please do a search, this topic has been discussed hundreds of times before.



As far as the throttle body spacer goes, it does nothing for these trucks. Forget that particular part.

His comment was the best help you can get. A search will give you about everything you need to know on this topic because it has been covered so much (I mean a lot). Making yet another generic thread on this topic when you haven't even researched the existing threads is just kinda pointless.

I promise you, do a search, and you will have tons of answers for the question you asked. Then if you still have questions, post those specific questions in their own threads.

Throttle body spacers were designed for and actually improve throttle body injection fuel setups...but with a fuel rail and injectors, they do nothing for you. And stay away from the "Tornado" type stuff, too.

THANK YOU, Jason. People on this site need to use the D@MN search bar. These things have been disscussed a million times before. I'm SOOOOOOO tired of these noobs coming on here and asking if adding a K&N Intake will work on their 5.2. First of all, there is no such thing as a K&N Intake(It is confusing, are they talking about a manifold or a CAI?). Second of all, I seached K&N Intake and i got 500 results, with say, 300 of those with a legit answer. So its out there, you just got to find it. You could probably have an answer in the time it took for you me to write this post.

I am going to start a thread(Comes back to me, right?). It is going to be called "Noobs, All ya need to KNOW". It will have the info that is asked the most and threads that can help people, like DIY's and HOW-TO's. It will be a sticky, so it will be hard to miss.

He gave you a good FU<KING answer. I don't give a $hit if I hurt your feelings. If anybody did, sell your Dodge, and get a Kia or a Honda.
