Yeah, I think I may just be going with a LSD in both front and rear...

I found a guy on another forum with a throttle body spacer on 96 ram said he felt the throttle response felt better, but he also had the intake. I already got it so it's goin on! I only paid $30 because my friend totaled his 97 ram before he put his on.

The TB spacer is only good as a paperweight. These trucks are not TB injected, therefore, TB spacers do nothing. All you're doing is delaying the air from getting to the manifold for another split hair of a second, which won't improve performance at all.

If anyone tells you they felt an improvement in throttle response after installing just a TB spacer, they are either lying to you or they were imagining it. An intake kit of some sort like the K&N is a different story, but a TB spacer does nothing.

That would make sense, I guess I'll be tossing the TB spacer up on Ebay tonight...

you may want to spend that spacer back, and get fastman thrttle body instead , spacers dont do anything for our truck , i had one on mine and it made my truck run worse!!!!!!!!!!! so i took it off , its just a paper weight. the fastman is a great buy, better than all throttle bodys, he takes great pride in his work, and you get money back when you send yours back www.thefastman.com great for low to mid rpm power and throttle responce

I second the Fastman. Real quality work. 52mm for 5.9L, 50mm for 5.2L.

The instructions he sent me for the install, I might add, were so easy to follow that my dog could have done it if he had opposable thumbs.
