• Q: How to Service and Repair a Throttle Body on 2006 Dodge Ram 3500?

  A: First, take off the air duct and air resonator box at the throttle body and after that, remove the electrical connector at the throttle body. Following this, undo the 4 throttle body bolts so you can easily pull the throttle body off the intake manifold; as you do, check the sealing O-ring on the throttle body. If the throttle body has been swapped, remove the negative battery cable for approximately 90 seconds and only reconnect it after that. While the ignition switch is on, but do not crank the engine, let it stay on for at least 10 seconds to let the PCM collect data from the throttle body's electronics. When you install, examine the O-ring between the throttle body and intake manifold and make sure both parts are in good shape and flat. Match the throttle body to the manifold pins, insert all 4 bolts, connect the electrical connector again and attach the air plenum. In case the throttle body gets changed, disconnect the battery and turn on the car, just like in the first action, to make the PCM pick up the new information from the throttle body.
