You can get 8mm grommets from kingsborne

 

mine fit without too much trouble

 

Try using CRC Throttle Body Cleaner (#05078) from Auto Zone, Advance, etc. You will be amazed how well it works and burns off with NO run issues. Looks like this >

 

...thanks DROWSSAP! ...since I was putting everything back together, I temporarily solved it by using those tie wraps that you secure with a screw, but will look into the ones you mention from Kingsborne, definitely want them to be better and nicely secured. ;-]#

 

...thanks for your response DiscoBuckeye, but if I squeeze and push hard enough they do go in; I prefer getting something less problematic for these 8mm wires "than a fat man in the eye of a needle", as Sting would sing; besides, a couple are broken, so it would be the best option to get the right ones! ;-]#

 

Show some pics when you get them all set.

 

...I guess you are right! either way, that's what I use to clean the throttle body, I just didn't think it thru then; should had clean the upper intake since it was off, but will make a note of it for a future clean up, and as Charlie_V suggested, with the lower intake off best... thanks to both! ;-]#

 

...sure thing, I'll post some showing how they look now with the screw-on tie wraps, and soon enough with the right thing, once I get them! ;-]#

 

...here the pics of how they now are secured!



...here you can clearly see what type of Tie Wraps I used.

...here you cannot see the screw, but it's down there!

...here you can see how it was secured with the same bolt that held the original separator in place.

 

..:: UPDATE ::..

...glad to report that my truck came to life without major issues so far. Had a minor electrical issue that was resolved by "resetting-it", I guess is just like a phone that received a "major update", go figure!

So cleaning process seems to have done good, truck sounds nice and serene, didn't test drive further cuz was night and had a minor leak by the inlet Heater Matrix hose, hopefully is not fully in or clamped incorrectly, will check and report back soon, thanks everyone.

Future posts on different jobs are on the dock! ;-]#
