Congrats! Don't forget to reset yur PCM after install, and don't necessarily expect immediate results. It can take up to 200 miles of driving before your PCM will fully adjust (as much as it can at least) to the new TB. Some poeple say it is immediatly noticable, others are dissapointed a first, but later say that they notice things getting better and better as a little time has passed. Mine took some time, but after that, the change was very noticable.

I just put mine on Sunday morning. 52mm on a 5.9. People on here weren't lying. I reset the pcm, but the difference was noticable as soon as I started the truck. Driving around trying to get some miles on it was awesome. Felt like a brand new engine! Throttle response hasn't been that good since I bought the truck back in 98. So far, the best performance mod I've done.

I didn't mean to imply that people were lying about how quickly they noticed results, if that's what you thought. What I was meaning is just that some noticed results immediatly, while others have said it took some driving. It just depends on the truck I guess.

Siver_Dodge, it was just an expression. My intention was that I didn't know about the fastman until I started reading this forum. I never had much faith in larger TB's but after reading so many post on this, just couldn't resist trying it out. I did do the reset, but I could tell right away there was a major difference over stock TB. The expression is just one I grew up using when hanging with my friends. Hope no offense was taken by anyone. I've owned dodge trucks since I was in highschool 30 years ago, but I've never learned as much about them as I have on this forum. My next project is the manifold mod and plenum fix, which I also found out about on this forum. Just re-did my exterior and interior on my current truck which I've had for almost 7 years now. I'm now getting to the engine/drive train and even though I don't post much, follow this forum everyday to stay up to date! Thanks Guys. Jeff.

PS- ya'll weren't lying either when you said Dan was great to work with. Wish all aftermarket suppliers I've delt with had his pesonality.

how much was the final price shipped of your TB from fastman? And are there any other companies that make good TBs? Only ones I see around here at fastman's.
