Will Truck Throttle Body Work? Worth It?

**JoeMack** · 01-30-2006, 12:40 PM

I've read that the TB's for GM trucks (LS Motors) are 80mm compared to 75mm for F-bodies and will work on them. First, is this a true bolt on swap? Is there a specific year to look for? If I can get a deal on a new throttle body for a 6.0 truck, would it be a good mod? (02 Z28)Thanks

It's not just a simple matter of bolting on a truck MAF - the SLP 85mm MAF is a truck MAF as far as I know - but with the recalibrated electronics and an adapter connector to go from your wiring harness to the new MAF connector.

Throttle Body not MAF.

Hey Joe, I asked the same question about a week or so ago and still no answer.In the 2 books I have ,they're saying it's 85 mm.The only reply I got,the guy thinks there is little modding by nothing for sure.I wish there was a tech around to answer

Well I want to know also... How about one of you guys buy it and let us know how it goes?

You can buy this from SLP with recalibrated electronics and an adapter to plug it in.In other words the straight up swap won't work-buy the SLP deal to make it work-that was the answer I was looking for before.

Hey guys,Joe was asking about the 85 mm throttle body/air valve, not the maf.Just to let you guys know slp does not offer throttle bodies-true they do offer maf's and are plug ins and they work.
