Okay so a little over a year ago i bought my first truck.
2008 ram 1500 with the 4.7 2wd
Since then I've added a few things as i can.
Flowmaster super 10
K&N intake
HID fog lights (haven't installed yet)
Leveling kit 3" 2" (haven't installed yet)
Halo headlights &
A driver's side pillar for a pod/tuner that I'm wanting to buy before the year ends

Anyways, I've tired looking for a new throttle body but can't find one anywhere.

Does anyone know of a website that sells throttle body for the 4.7?

It seems that the 4.7 isn't very popular and I've had trouble looking for parts for it.

Need help. Thanks.
 

Whatever

I'm interested in parts too if you ever do find a good line. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Welcome but unfortunately those words are true. Sad too it seems to have a lot of horsepower per cube.

What you will find a lot of...

head gaskets
oil pumps
oil pan gaskets
timing chains, tentioners and guides

Which at about 160,000 miles you will understand very well if you catch it before the oil stops flowing.

Wow now I'm depressed all over again!

I love my 4.7 just make sure you pay attention to it the minute it asks you :)

Best mods you can do to a 4.7 is 4.56 gears, tq converter, and tuner. Intake, throttle body, and free flowing exhaust will help a bit, but nothing like your gears, converter, and tuning.
