would this be the way to correctly clean my 2k4 5.7l tb?also do i need to depress the gas pedal at any point during the tb reset ?

Depends on who you listen to,lol. Most of the aftermarket throttle bodies do tell you to depress the pedal fully and return the pedal fully "slowly",most recommend doing it with-in a 20 sec time period.I've always done the pedal version.According to Dan at Fastman this lets the truck learn the full sweep of the pedal.

do you have a stock or aftermarket t.b?mine is stock.if doing the pedal version would the correct procedure be 1.turn key to on(not started) 2.wait for dash lights to go out 3.slowly depress pedal,immedeiately slowly release pedal .turn key to off,all within 20 sec.
