If you have a 3.9L get the one for the V8 5.9 or a 5.2 they're the same (48mm). The 4.7L TB is completly different. Any magnum truck TB will work it'll say v8 cast on the top of it. You'll need a tb that is compatable w/ yours the differance is the early ones are EGR the later ones aren't. the get a new trottle cable (20-30$) to fit the V8 tb. This is one of the best upgrade you can do to your 3.9L. The sensors on the tb are the same also so you can save a few bucks maybe by getting one w/o the sensors on it. If you get this done let the trucks computer learn the upgrade for a couple of hundred miles then enjoy.

Thnx Gears
From the post before it is for a 5.9L V8. It's only $95 so i'm guessin that may be a good price. But i really don't know cuz i've never looked for one. Would i be able to use the throttle cable from an existing V8 or would it be better to get a new one?
Also, I'm workin on getting some pictures of my truck uploaded but i'm having problems with uploading them right now but some coming soon

You shouldn't have to spend more than 25-30 dollars for the TB. Definately get the cable from the same vehicle if you can. Recently I bought two v6 tb's on eBay for less than $25 each. At a junk yard I bought a complete tb, manifold w/injectors for $75. Take your time and look around.
Do you plan on putting that v8 tb on top of a v6 manifold that has just 48mm openings?
If you can't find a v8 tb that cheap, you might want to consider having the v6 tb opened up. You would save yourself a lot time and very little extra cost.

N56629, I would like to open up my own rather than find a V8 TB and get the cable but i am not sure on how to perform this...is there anywhere that i can get instructions on how to do this or is it just a couple steps or what because if someone can tell me how to open up my own then i would do that for sure...if anybody can help me out in informing me on how to open up my own TB then that'd be great...you can email me instructions or just post a website...my email addy is: galowa5@hotmail.com
TIA-

Brandon, I would suggest you research this forum or go to www.dakotausa.com. Much has been written about it. I never personally recommend that anyone do it unless they are very handy with hand tools or have access to a machine shop, but to each his own.
