80mm Throttle Body

[Smerberj]

Hello y'all,

I received my 80mm GPE Throttle Body today, took me about 10 minutes to install it and everything works as it should. Haven't had any check engine lights, truck idles smoother (assuming because the negative terminal of the battery was disconnected), seems more peppy when paired with my custom intake tube. I'd say it was worth it, got a great deal on the throttle body too. Worth a note, my old throttle body had some liquid behind the throttle plate, smelt like gasoline. Is that normal?

Neat - what's the OE diameter?

Hows the custom intake system look?

It's the same size as the old Throttle body, it's just been bored out to 80mm, look at the picture that shows them side by side and you will see it. As far as my custom intake goes, check out my thread under the 3.6L Pentastar.

I guess I should've clarified, what's the OE ID (inside diameter), but by the photos, I'm guessing something like 70-72 mm if the wall thickness is around 5-6mm. I'll check out the thread, thanks!

Unfortunately the throttle body took a **** on me today. GPE said they will send me a new unit. I was a bit shocked at the throttle bodies premature failure. I will report back when I get the new one in.

GPE sent me a new Throttle Body, I installed it along with a Rugged Ridge throttle body spacer that a buddy of mine gave to me. So far so good.

It needed an adapter for the wiring, couldn't find one for the 2020 5th Gens so I had to go with a bored out Pentastar TB.
