    The gas pedal in my truck seems really stiff to press on. I’ve already cleaned the throttle body real well, but no luck getting it to be smoother to press.
    Any suggestions where I should check in to or lubricate?
    I appreciate a feed back

    Isn’t it throttle by wire?

    Cleaning the throttle body has nothing to do with pedal feel, these trucks are drive by wire.
