Here is a side by side comparison of the two Bodies, both the top and bottom.
The new one is of course the one with the rubber seated on it.
As you can see the old had quite a bit of residue on the back of the valve.
When replacing the new throttle body, and keying the ignition for ten seconds to check if everything was set and adjusted right, I realized that I had left my Air Temperature Indicator connector unplugged which caused a P0113 Trouble Code. Once I replaced the connector back onto the resonator, and put everything back together tightly, the check engine light stayed on. No Codes, just on. I drove it for awhile, then proceeded to fuel up, I keyed the ignition, and before starting, I reset the average fuel economy calculator in the overhead console to keep tabs on what the new body will run at. After starting the truck this time, the Check Engine Light had no longer lit up. Everything is as expected now. Much quicker throttle response as well.
What I've learned:
1. Be sure to connect all electrical components back to where they belong before starting the engine.
2. Parts Source is no longer allowed to loan their ODBII scanners to customers as companies such as Canadian tire or other similar outlets complained that they are getting ripped off due to it being a "PAY to Read" service.
3. Due to the above statement(2), I think that the customer service representative I was dealing with was just full of shit, and too lazy to loan the unit for me. He was claiming that "I'm not allowed to read my own vehicle either, and I work here".
