    It's a secret. Actually, I was kidding, I don't have any whiskey at my desk, I do, however, have rum and tequila.

    Duh.

    They were only meant to be used with Trucks that had the fuel injectors in the Throttle body. the spacer made more room for the Air and Fuel to Mix. other that that your doing nothing but wasting you money~

    Throttle body spacers work if it's inline AFTER the fuel is introduced. That's the reasoning behind tall intakes on carbureted race motors. A taller intake gives higher horsepower. A shorter intake gives more torque.
    That's why on carburetted drag cars there's usually a hole in the hood.
    Of course, if this thing is working for you, then it works. Who am I to disagree?

    yes but OUR Throttle Body is located BEFORE the fuel is injected. Making a throttle body spacer on OUR trucks USELESS.

    That's the roundabout point I was trying to make, but I never really got there. So, according to what we know, it shouldn't work. But bumblebees shouldn't fly, so if somebody tells me it really woke their truck up, I'll smile and nod and be glad for them. I'm sure there's some silly something I believe works for me that nobody else has ever gotten any good out of.
    I guess when I was getting 23mpg for a full year by putting acetone in my fuel I was just hallucinating. Maybe it was the acetone fumes.:confused:

    I can't believe they still sell these things. Any place that sells them should be avoided.

    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    Got one on mine w/ a kn fipk, next is headers and dual'd exhaust. Lookin to get a cool 26 mpg after all is done. Currently getting 20.8 mpg. Is that worth the $250 I paid for the kn fipk and the $100 I paid for the TB spacer? Eff yeah, I got a cool whistle rollin down the road that sounds like a turbo spoolin, It's frickin sweet. When I get the headers and the dual exhaust do I think that it is worth $1000. You'll find out when I pull ya out that ditch with a garden hose.:burnrubber::rofl:
