Looking to do a few things to my truck. Do throttle body spacers do anything? Or does anyone have any suggestions on mods for me? thanks to anyone in advance

TB spacers are paperweights for these trucks.


Before you mod anything, have you replaced your plenum? Your cat? Your timing set? Serviced your transmission?


You need to get EVERYTHING up to ***** before you look at modding because otherwise you'll spend a ton of money on mods....only to have something break, either from more power and abuse or Murphy's law.

Yeah start up with fixing what you got. Plenum is a must and a tuneup will do wonders.

As far as good bolt-on mods there are 1.7 rockers, tuner, throttle body, cai or drop-in filter, e-fans, etc.
