Do you suffer from DTB? Dirty throttle bodies plague these trucks on a consistent basis. Here's a quick video to help you through the process. Dirt and grime that pass by your air filter gets stuck to the oil that's accumulates on the throttle body. It then gets pushed into the bushings for the butterfly and causes the TB to get all jittery and have poor response. SO to fix this we need to clean it out about every oil change or two. but with the right tools and a few minutes this can easily be integrated into your oil change routine to keep your truck running its best.
