yesterday decided to get working on the truck, changed the plugs, both diff fluids, transfer case fluid, and cleaned the throttle body. Right at 65k miles, the throttle body was caked with black carbon, took about 2-3 hours of scrubbin with a toothbrush and the wife's dish scrubber lol, and 3 cans of brake cleaner, but got it about 90% clean. Runnin so much better and throttle response seems much smoother, hopefully this helps gain a little mileage back, have only been getting about 12mpg lately. First time the throttle body has been cleaned, how often should this be done? Trip to the dealer tomorrow morning for the coolant and tranny flush, and then i should be good for another 30k miles or so
