Bob's around somewhere I'm pretty sure he posted earlier in another forum. He's probably staying out of it lol.

Mods are worthless, overpriced, and all they do is empty your wallet. If you don't believe me, I have some articles that will prove it.

"There", now do you guys feel more at home he he !! Where is Bob, I haven't heard from him in a week. I can't pm him, my pm isn't working, I hope he's ok, it wouldn't be the same without him, it's just too quiet !

As amazing as this may seem to some of us, some people get off these forums occasionally. *gasp*

Thanks wendell. I needed that. I was feeling a little woosy.

Anyway, wendell, do you have throttle body spacer? Are they any good?

Awesome...but no. It's for '98-on sadly...

That being said...there aren't any major differences between those years...could be worth a shot.

Dave, the tb spacer doesn't seem to do much on a 4.0, at least that you can tell, besides whitsle. I guess you would need a dyno to tell for sure, the butt dyno shows nothing. If it makes 2-4 hp, you wouldn't feel it, but I can't prove that it makes any. It does however make a cool, sorta turbo sound, that should be at least worth something.

If you put a TB spacer on do you have to change anything on the intake?

I'd do it just for the sound lol.

My truck is geared toward speed, not towing and hauling power, but it's fun to drive, kinda good on gas, it's like having a dakota r/t without the v8 and the crappy mileage. it has a turbo, computer, and manfold for the short list. it's fast(er than required) and is strong running, but is down right now. i race it, and was in potter county PA, tried running 38 lbs of boost on my turbo. didnt take it too well.after i get it running, then refill my pocket book, i'm going all out on the interior. i think i'm going to try for a permium sound system. i want to try and get leather seats(but i think thats a wish and a dream). then, i want to put those undercarriage lights on, red. and white strobe lights for the headlights. also i am fashioning a brush gaurd, on hold now, missing pieces. and one day, i will put manual hubs on, but am for some unbeknownst reason too lazy to put them on.

You can get leather seats from an Exploder for cheap and they're a direct swap.
