How do you clean it?

 

Remove it and buy TB cleaner. Will be in the same area as the FI cleaners, engine cleaners, oil additives section.

To remove pull off the Hemi hat and the TB is held on by 4 screws. It has a re-useable rubber seal.

 

Exactly as described! When I did mine I sprayed the TB with cleaner multiple times , Better to do it multiple times while you have it apart! And if you don't have a CAI then you might as well do it at the same time because it makes cleaning your TB much easier!

 

You're supposed to remove the throttle body..

 

yea...i didn't do that, she wasn't happy about that. took a couple of long cranks and restarts to settle her down.

 

Yes I know that! It's not my first rodeo! I turn all my own wrenches, unless it is gears!! I don't do gears!

1. If you are unable to remove the air ducts to expose the throttle body, stop and do not attempt this project. Let a professional Technician handle the job.

1. Remove just enough air ducting to expose the throttle body. Be careful not to damage any gaskets that may be present. There are many different types of throttle bodies; some even have two throttle blades (one may work with the traction-control system). Some recent models even use an electronic throttle control, sometimes called "drive by wire." With all of these differences, though, you will still likely expose a throttle body very similar in appearance to the one shown here.

1. If you have not already done so, put on rubber gloves and eye protection. Once the throttle body is exposed, spray the throttle-body cleaner inside the air duct, and use the brushes to gently dislodge the dirt, gum and varnish that are present. Note: Be very careful not to let the thin, plastic spray nozzle (or anything else!) fall into the throttle-body opening. Periodically wipe the residue clean with the paper towels.

1. Repeat this process until all the interior surfaces are clean to bare metal. Use the flashlight to get a good look at your progress.

1. Before replacing the throttle-body ducts, put a drop of household general-purpose oil on the shafts of the throttle shaft where it enters the throttle body. Use a small cotton swab, and don't overdo it - just a small drop of oil will help keep the throttle blade rotating smoothly. One drop should be fine.

I wasn't trying to sound like a smart @$$ but this is what I was getting at!

(spray the throttle-body cleaner inside the air duct) reconnect and run truck then repeat! Much easier if you have a CAI!!
