decided today that i would clean my TB since my truck had a bit of rough idle, can definitely feel the difference in smoothness now. only took 20 minutes, the 4.7 only has 3 bolts on it. had some difficulty getting the sensors off, took 5 minutes to figure out the clippy thing locations. cleaned it with simple green dampened in a cloth, took off all the soot well. i think next time i go home i'll do my dad's ram and my mom's ford explorer since she has never had it cleaned and her car idles really rough. shoulda took pictures for the DIY but i forgot.

 

sounds good. ill have to do that when i replace a section of my CAI here in a while!

 

that's why i did it actually, part of my cai rattled loose again. damn thing is getting on my nerves. if it falls apart again i'll epoxy it. if it breaks again after that then i'm going back to stock. i think it may be one of those things that only guys who drive on pavement should have. dirt roads take their toll on stuff like that.

 

i did mine the other day and for only 15000 miles it was pretty gummed up. Never thought about using simple green, i used brake cleaner took about 3 minutes.
