I don't know, I just got my TB from him yesterday, haven't installed it yet. When I ordered it week before last he said he would be working on 4.7 TB's this week. Hard to say, maybe he's out of the shop for a few days.

he's not too easy to get a hold of.
after he sent me the wrong throttle body the first time, it took over a week to get in touch with him. i finally got the correct TB from him, and truthfully, there's not too much of a difference, if any, and my idle has been screwed up since.
I followed the directions he sent to me exactly, including the procedure to reset the idle.
The directions basically stated that if the idle didn't go back to normal, I would need to take it to Dodge to have them correct the problem. no thanks.

He also says in the instructions that if there's is a problem it's usually electronic and not the TB and to talk to him first. I'm sure he has a suggestion on how to fix the idle.

that sounds like a better choice to me. If your gonna spend some $$$, you might as well go all the way.

I've got it worse. I ordered 2 months ago and sent 2 emails asking what happened with no reply. Explain that...
