2008 Viper Throttle body to be installed today on my jeep. will keep updated
My Viper Throttle body says it will be delivered today.
when i get home today i will put it on and let you know the initial feelings before and after.(also will update later on with long term)
I will have pictures as well.
This is going to be installed on a 2011 completely stock engine(no superchips,or aftermarket parts on the engine)
Before the Viper TB
I get anywhere from 14.5-16MPG in the city mostly due to my driving habits
Highway i get about 17-18
im also on 33's with 30psi

Just installed
Just a little frustrated with the parts i ordered. i ordered the coupler that the mopar website said i needed..and sure enough it is the wrong size. oh well.. moving on.
oh and pay no attention to the dirty engine bay its got 3500 miles on it. so its been worn in
First the old throttle body
removing the clip
easy to take it off then remove the bottom sensor
side by side
viper TB mounted
This is where it got to be a pain in the ass.(i need to heat it up some and stretch it over the viper TB but for now i just have an adapter.
shitty adapter
after hooking it up you can tell there is a difference in sound, also it has a faster response time when you push the skinny pedal.
i only drove it on the highway for 30 miles got up to 80 with no problems no CEL or anything just yet. so im going to drive it to work the rest of this week and check out what my MPG is like compared to the 14.5-16 mpg i usually get
