I plan on taking off my throttle body tomorrow and giving her a good cleaning. But i have a question. Is there a gasket on the throttle body that i need to replace when i put it back on? I would think there would be but i have no idea? Thanks in advance.

 

I was going to say no, but I have a spacer, and it has a rubber gasket built in. Now that I think about it, there may be a gasket, but a metal one? shoot, I cant remember now. lol help!!!

You should need to replace it anyways though, if there is one. Lots a people clean their intakes as a bored saturday afternoon project. Not much to it.

 

It's been a while since I had my TB off, but I believe that the gasket is a rubber O-ring. I forgot I have my laptop with me tonight. I just looked it up in the manual for the 03 RAM. It has a rubber O-ring. Technically I'd say replace it. Over time rubber O-rings dry out and crack or they flatten out and don't worth a damn.

 

ok guys thanks for the help. I will replace the rubber o ring.
