Default New throttle Body

Got the new throttle body and its on the truck already, havent been able to test it yet because my truck went straight into the shop to get a new rack. My outer tierods were toast... The 1 inch body lift went on the truck yesterday as well, I will have pictures of that and more up later, but for now here is the throttle body. It is a 50 mm polished throttle body, very good quality, would recommend bwdakrt to anyone, great work and great service!!

Cool. Hopefully you will notice a slight difference if not bigger.

Well I will at least give you the info on the purchase, he sold this to me with gasket and new bolts for $105, it was a really good deal and he was very friendly and pleasing to deal with, He shipped it priority mail and sent tracking numbers immediately, so overall this is on of the better deals I have ever made online. So that part of this deal has been nearly unbeatable, and a new ported throttle body for only $105 is a great deal, I think he also offers $25 core return as well but I have to check with him, I dont remember, it could be $20, but it is still a very good deal!

That is a great deal in a ported tb. You should see a nice gain from it, those ported tb's make a world of difference on the older 5.2/5.9 engines.

IIRC, he said he does a lot of towing in another thread. The ported 50mm is typically recommended for 5.9's that do a lot of towing instead of the ported 52mm.

I just read that on the fastman's site, about towing.
