Pretty easy install. You need a special star drive for a couple of the screws. Took me about 45minutes. I took my time as it was cold out. Nothing special about it. If you haven't done one before I would suggest a Hanes manual.

Just a little tip for the high idle problem on start up after installing a modified TB. Disconnect the negative battery terminal for 1-2 minutes before starting the engine. Let the engine idle (DO NOT REV THE ENGINE) until it comes up to operating temp. Switch the engine off, restart and go for a drive making as many stops as possible, such as stop signs. Try to avoid going WOT for the first 25 miles or so as the PCM is still relearning the new increased airflow and part throttle settings. This technique will allow for a faster PCM relearn and will greatly help to eliminate the high idle problem.

hmm...can I start over now that I already have it installed and am experiencing idle issues? What you say is what Rengnath said to do as well but maybe I didn't stop/start enough, I just drove around the block which has 2 stop signs.....and, of course, I'm sure I was WOT quite a lot during the first 25 miles....
Just to verify this process and for my own peace of mind, when I changed my TB to a larger one, I started the engine without doing this procedure and the idle was very jumpy from 800-1500 rpms and would not settle down at all. I shut down the engine, disconnected the negative battery cable for the 1-2 minutes, reconnected the cable, started the engine and it settled at 650 rpms almost instantly. Let the engine come up to operating temp, shut it off and then restarted. Went for a drive and even pulled into a Church parking lot doing some stops and veried my rpms up and down from idle up to about 3K. Back out on the road and about 25 miles later I went WOT and my RT is working flawlessly!

The other procedure I sent you Kent was one that Nick from Airram posted on another forum where a guy was having trouble with his fastman. Ill PM you the link. It seemed like anything I tried though, I could never get my idle right. I drove that thing like a grandpa for weeks after several resets, and all I got out of it was a few middle fingers and I was hardly ever on time for work. Lol. Try what Bwdakrt said though; he made the first throttle body I tried on my truck.
On a sidenote, I did get my truck to idle right 2 different times for about 200 miles or so. After a while though, the problem came back.
