No throttle body. Forced induction (turbo) and direct injection. Meaning injectors go stray into the cylinders

^^^^^^ Neither of the above account for the absence of a throttle body. It's the fact that it's a diesel engine. Non-turbo indirect-injection diesels don't have a throttle body either.

OK. I thought the Original Post was a joke, but perhaps he was serious. Sorry.

True. I was trying to keep it simple. He sent me s PM earlier and apparently he is a older gentleman that doesn't know the 7.3

Since I made a fool of myself in my first post, I deleted it.

Now, what seems to be the issue you're having with your truck? These motors are quite different from a gas motor.
