Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum. I have a 2012 1500 w/ 5.7 hemi. I want to put a TBS and CAI on it. When I was shopping I could not find a TBS for the 2012 5.7 and am wondering if one for a 2011 5.7 would fit? Thanks for your help!
Need help!!!

I would advise against getting a TBS, had one on my 06 for about 15 mins and took it off, didn't do anything but produce an annoying whine. I am pretty sure that the consensus is that they are "paper weights"...haven't done it on my '12 but I'm sure others will chime in...good luck.

Useless, don't be fooled, although some set-ups like AEM and Mopar come with them, even then I would opt not to fit the TBS with the CAI. Now if BBK made a Ported Throttle Body for your application that would be something but I would wait for a Tuner first (2012 4th Gen Right!)

Yes and those folks will also make you believe yhat Iridium 2 step colder NGK's will make it work real good, thats BS too as far as plugs go. Don't feel bad when i first started with my Ram I also bought a paperweight too. Vendors that care about there customers should not even entertain selling them.

Don't waste your time with jet ships either.
Wait for Superchips to come out with a tuner for your hemi

Unfortunatly the 11-12 are not programmable
They have an encryption code that doesn't allow them to be tuned
Should the encryption code be released skip jet and go with a superchips or diablo sport
