My 5 Alarm Hoe

[Rocket Man]

Awesome! You're welcome.

I took the weekend off so I could get some work done on the Hoe but mother nature had other plans today

The Hoe's had a really rough idle lately along with horrible gas mileage, I've had to literally floor the gas pedal to keep up with the flow of traffic on the highway...I decided to clean out the throttle body and MAF to see if that would resolve the issue and it did(for now)

It idles a hell of a lot better right now and the throttle seems to be more responsive...I also bought a tub big enough to fit the intake manifold I got from @Red Rocket along with 2 gallons of simple green Amazon.com: Simple Green 11001CT Clean Building All-Purpose Cleaner Concentrate, 1gal Bottle: Industrial & Scientific to degrease the intake

Unfortunately I can't replace the intake manifold on the Hoe until I get my other trucks back from my buddys shop(getting bigger turbos installed)

Brand new throttle body cleaner cap broke as soon as my big sausage finger pushed on it lol wtf...had to use a flat head screwdriver to spray it all over me and the throttle body lol



All clean and put back together...those 2 coolant hoses attatched to the throttle body are a ***** to remove!!!



MAF all cleaned up

I didn't smell any gas but I did unwrap it without gloves like a dumb ass lol...she'll be good as new after a nice 24 hour bubble bath

I also bought new bolts Amazon.com: APDTY 112685 Set Of 10 Brand New Factory OEM Intake Manifold Bolt & Grommet Set Fits 4.8L, 5.3L, or 6.0L Engine Found On 1999-2007 Escalade Avalanche Silverado 1500 2500 3500 Suburban Tahoe Trailblazer Express Van Denli Envoy Sierra Pickup Savana Yukon: Automotive
