throttle plate?

ok i was working on the truck the other night and I pulled off the elbow to do the throttel body removal and I saw there was no butterfly, Is this normal in the 03's? dose it even pay to remove the body of it when there is no butterfly plate to work it anyways? Not like this is serious and I don't know if it is needed anyways but just questioning why I don't have one?
Thanks!
Chris

i'm pretty sure they are supposed to have them. my 04 had one until i removed it. i have an aftermarked elbow for an 04 so i left the plate on. you can remove the body if you plan to get an elbow for an 05 or later. i believe that's right someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Some 03's and 04's went in for work and they took the butterfly out already. Those of us with them just mean our trucks never had it done.

Check your plugs on the valve, if you have no pins (which im 100% sure you dont) then you can rip that whole darn thing out and get an 05-07 Accufab Elbow put in.. I did the same, ripped mine out but mine was still functioning..
