Got the new throttle body and intake installed a few days ago, just havent had a chance to post up some pics...so here they are!

The intake is a non-name brand off ebay, i paid $76 for it, but it does the same thing a K&N or any other brand would, thats why i figured id go with the cheaper one. I noticed the truck picked up a bit quicker after installing it, plus it sounds pretty sweet when i step on it :)
The throttle body is off of some guy i found out about on here actually. I finally went and ordered one from him. Paid $90 for that, and wow, what a difference. My gas pedal is so touchy now and im not even really used to it yet lol the truck just wants to go! Installation on both the intake and throttle body was very simple. The intake took me about a half hour or so, and the throttle was about another half hour.

No, he already has some throttle bodies to do the work to. It takes him 2-3 days to do the work after you tell him you want one. Then if you want, you can send him back your old one and hell refund your paypal account for $25. All you have to tell him is your engine size and the year of your truck so he can send you the right linkage. But hell send you the TB, a new gasket, the four bolts, and directions on how to reset your PCM which was very simple to do.
