Not sure if it's just me, but when I drive 75-80MPH on the freeway and I have to pass someone jumping up to 5,000 RPM isn't a problem in any of my D2's lol.

 

 

So that makes 3 of us in the last week to go ***** out with the throttle body stuck open.

 

 

Did all three of your remove the TBH?

 

I did on all my trucks because Disco Mike said it was the thing to do. Live and learn.

 

I installed my TBH on the weekend. Driving with a stuck throttle is too exciting for me 🤤 I'm beginning to think that my freezing issue was caused by water vapour from the crankcase breather freezing in the bottom of the TB.

 

 

 

If you get the TB off, get squares of 180 and 220 Grit Sandpaper. you'll see the contact surface for the heater plate is rounded, mine was anyway. I started with the 180 going straight forward and back, turn 90 degrees and repeat until I had a satisfactory surface area, and then did 220 to further prep it and flatten it out. I am guessing I am getting a .5mm or more of contact for the gasket/heater plate. The torques is so low on that plate that my thought process is any little bit helps. I've heard that just using The Right Stuff will seal it too, but I have never tried it.
