I have a 2001 4.7L 4wd and was wondering what the
best brand of throttle body spacer is, and how easy
it is to install.

If determined to get one, buy the cheapest you can find. Installation is simple - just put it on some papers on your desk and you will have a great paper weight. No one has ever dynoed a gain from a TB spacer on our 4.7. Some have claimed better throttle response; maybe just because they spent money ? Throttle response on my 4.7 is instantaneous. If it isn't on yours, most likely cause would be the TPS.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Hi CaseyR & yes nothing but a waste of money.
Swirling the air before it mixes with the gas does nothing. TB spacers do benefit carb an TBI motors though.

I agree with Kowalski....and even laughed at the joke.(maybe he does have a sense of humor)Most people imagine the gains from a spacer because its money they spent and dammit they are gonna get something out of it, but the final use ends up as Kowalski said.....a really good paper weight.

We dont really know what mods you have now, better air filter is fairly cheap,like no-name says a chip or programmer is easy but not always cheap.

13 days til I finish another tour in Iraq....
Trying to buy "more power" for my 06 Dakota 4.7L V8 HO....BEFORE I GET HOME AND HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO MY WIFE WHY I NEED MORE HP!!!!!!$$$$$ It's also my B-Day so can try and slide it past her..
Can anyone let me know what my best options are?
And, do I have to run 91 octane for a chip to work or can I run normal gas and still use the performance setting?
Thanks, Walt.
