does this TB need cleaning?
ok, so im sure they could always be cleaner but is this in bad shape
was working on the truck today, cleaned the air filter and what not, and decided for the first time to take a flash light and look down the tb..
no puddle of oil, just kinda dirty... (you know pour oil on a piece of metal, wipe it off, throw dirt at it and it sticks) that kinda dirty
here look at the pics, they are no the best....

pull the TB off and spray it with carb or TB cleaner. then look down into the intake with a mirror at ALL 4 corners just to be sure. I've had my intake look clean in the center only to find it pooling on one end of the intake.

Clean that TB! But some oil and dirt in there are normal from the crank breather.

i had my tech do a 3 step fuel system service on my truck. additive in the gas tank, additive through a vacuum line to clean injectors & TB spray to clean the TB. made a nice difference.

RE: does this TB need cleaning?
Hey, I have a better idea for how to clean that dirty TB! Go to www.thefastman.com and order a Fastman TB! It's nice and clean already, and gives you better throttle response for $225.......I love mine!
