Going to be doing a bunch of mantenance next weekend. One of the things on the list is cleaning the throttle body. Know the proceedure (thanks to here), but I can't seem to find the gasket anywhere. Is this a dealer item only? Didnt see it on autozone or Advanced's web sites. Skeptical of the advertised gains for spacers, but happy to hear any input on these or recommendations.

Going to be getting new tires too. Any recommendations? Currently have 245x75x16 crap tires. Can I go 265's? Realize this might effect the speedometer, but that's ok. Any suggestions? Tirerack has Kumho AT's that are decently priced. Typical daily driving, with of course midwest sleet/snow & summer pulling the boat. Little offroad use.

Any recommendations for a good steering damper?

The rest of the list includes:
rear shocks
front struts
distributor/rotor
new plugs
new brakes on all corners
new tie rod inner/outer
sway bar bushings
new vacuum lines, T's & check valves (fix wild vent issue)
Heater core & heater lines (believe they are clogged)
AC Evap (to get rid of the moldy smell)
rear main seal - If I have time, leaks very little
3rd brake light gasket
Replace front passenger side seat track

once that's all done then off for alignment & tires.

That should cover most of saturday & half of sunday.

Truck is stock, other then the radio & rear lcd's.

 

you can go up to 285-75/16 on stock suspension.
TB gasket is available at autozone for about $2. don't use a spacer - waste of money.

 

Now dh, you know very well there is a good use for throttle body spacers.
They make a good paper weight. LOL

 

265's are stock on our truck with exception of the off road package, so you'd be fine there.
If you plan to do some off roading then get a generic off the shelf damper. I'm on my fifth
because it hangs down there and gets dented WAY too easy.

 

Mine says 245's on the door jam sticker.

 

Mine too.

Got the gasket at the dealer.
