The only change you'll see is a loud whistling noise from under the hood.. no change in performance.. TB spacers are useless in these trucks in the abscence of other mods.. Hell, maybe always useless.. lol.. spend your money on other mods..

Put the money you'd use for a tb spacer towards gears, or e-fans, or pulleys.. or just a tank of gas or two.. lol

check out the link above, i speak from experience about the throttle body spacer being a waste of time and money they are junk and airraid refuses to respond to my questions and my offer to dyno my truck before and after thier "product" they just tell me to disconnect the battery for 15 minutes

for those interested-not to start any bashing- i talked to an airraid rep today at truckfest at summit racing equipment and point blank asked him how it works and what it does and told him what ive seen and heard about them
he told me you have minimal HP gains, but it helps with low end torque and works up to like 2500 rpm and he said they have had customers claim up to 3 mpg increase with this add on
I went ahead and got one, i get it for cheap with employee discount and ill try it, he said i get my money back if i dont like it and return it in less than 30 days

sorry for the bad news throttle body spacer money down the drain
we tested the 1997 4.2l vin 2 with 3 very good named throttle body spacers two of them failed to start engine on first crank 70% of the time ,the 1 that did had a slow start the cold start that everbody knows about with this engine but in 75*f but when a k&n cold air intake 77-2550kp was installed i see why the spacers dont work the air box and grommits smother the engine to almost failure just buy clean air not twisted or turbelant air tornado airaid all of em sound good but straight air is the best

he made his quota for the day put that truck on a dyno before and afterI had one on my 2001 5.4 and I gave it away because it was worthless and annoying
