If you're not satisfied with the stock throttle body on your 2013-2018 5.7L Dodge RAM, install a BBK 90mm Throttle Body and achieve increased performance. This throttle body also increases horsepower and airflow for better throttle response. Free your truck from the restrictive stock throttle body with a BBK 90mm throttle body that features an 90mm bore design.
These Power Plus Series Throttle Bodies are designed to work with a factory tune in most cases. Depending on ECM sensitivity on your model and other modifications, a tune is sometimes recommended. While it's not normally required, a tune will not only allow the vehicle to work with certain aftermarket add ons but will also improve overall performance of your entire array of upgrades to work together as a whole and can normally update such items as the factory torque limit functions.
This BBK 90mm Throttle Body is manufactured from high-grade 356 aluminum that will ensure a precision fit with OEM quality. Factory OEM electronic throttle controls like die stamped throttle linkages, o-ringed throttle shafts, and double sealed bearings will work to bring you optimal performance and satisfaction. amtrucks.at/2XLHdix

Gotta love how easy dodge makes everything easy to replace.

[@silence3314]

Will this go in as easy with a K&N 63 series? I would assume so

[@creeplife2802]

Are there carb legal performance intake manifolds?

[@arnulfotorres5179]

Can I use a throttle body spacer with it

[@oskaveli662]

Would adding a throttle body spacer to this 90mm throttle body be recommended?

[@gl3618]

A few birdies and a couple hawks said this may throw codes....any comment from yalls experience with lean engine codes??

[@johndarseyiv1717]

Does the throttle body increase/decrease or change any gas mileage for a 5.7l ram truck?

[@elgamazacatecas6670]

Which is considered better 87..or 90mm

[@cat5tracker581]

Is it 90mm through and through or is it bottle necked down to 83mm?

[@dmay707]

Any for the 2021 Ram?

[@zash008]

If the pipe coming from the airbox to the throttle body remains the original size then doesnt the increase in diameter of the throttle body prove to be a waste of time and money?

[@hasve978]

IF more air means more HP and the BBK front has a bigger opening but the back is the same size opening as stock than there cant be much more air coming in. You can have a straw with an ultra wide opening in a shake but you still get the same amount out. the 90mm might give a little more but could not be that big of a difference.

[@tjvermillion5888]

it increases air pressure

[@hasve978]

@@tjvermillion5888 I tried a BBK throttle body. It lasted 2 hours and gave up and left me stranded on the side of the road. Put the original one on and ran perfectly.

How will this pair with a k&n 63 series intake?

[@markwithamaxima2680]

Get a rough country intake with a diesel hi flow filter(4x10) and you'll like it

[@mr_mopar5.7]

Is it a true 90mm all the way thru? Cause I'm pretty sure a true 90mm won't match up to the factory sealing surface.

[@PepeDeezNutz]

Exactly

[@MidwestMotor]

What about a TB spacer? Ideas or thoughts?

[@sonsofliberty3081]

I did it on my 2000 Dakota with a 3.9l and manual transmission a yr after i got it in 2001. First was exhaust, 2nd, cold air, 3rd was the spacer. Everything I did lowered the rpm that I felt the power kick in. In 3rd gear I started to feel it around 3,800 rpms, exhaust lowered to 3,300, intake to 3k, and then the spacer to 2,800. I had 3.55 rears in it and that was great for mpg, but it had a weak spot from 2nd to 3rd gear around 50mph. I had to run the rpms up high so 3rd would pick it up, afterward it wasn't an issue. (This was during towing). So, yes it helps a little, but probably helps more when you have other things that work together. I had over 200k miles on it over 20yrs and only replaced water pump once, ball joints once, and heater core so I had heat in the winter 17yrs in. That's it. It was a great truck but I needed something larger to pull horses around and sold it to a 18yr old kid. Still running now.

[@porridge4221]

Don’t do it, if you’re N/A, there’s no point, unless you’re running NOS or something, don’t waste your money.

[@jackwilson3802]

How much

[@zipperboy2008]

You missed how to recalibrate the sensor, not doing this will throw codes.

[@jaywattman199]

And possibly put the truck in limp mode

[@adamlasalle5016]

Will it cause the truck to run lean or throw any codes

[@AmericanTrucksRam]

This throttle body will not throw any codes or cause your truck to run lean! -Zach

[@josuevillanueva3016]

will it work on a 2019 1500 Classic?

[@AmericanTrucksRam]

Yes it will! -Zach

[@darioavendano369]

Is this throttle body better than a original 392 ?

[@gl3618]

This is a 5.7L...but you can swap the intake and manifold over to a 5.7L and see good results from your power curve.

[@heavymetalcowboy5359]

What is the circumference of the intake manifold throttle body mount opening? Is it 80mm to match the stock Throttle body, or is it larger? I ask because if it is 80mm, then the larger 90mm throttle body opening is not 'ported'. So, the larger Throttle Body circumference doesn't really increase air flow due to the 80mm restricted neck on the intake. American Trucks - please respond to this question.

[@vicer77]

Good question but sucks they didn’t answer

[@heavymetalcowboy5359]

@@vicer77 I bought an 80mm and installed it on my 2018 5.7L. The stock intake is approx. 83mm (i think....) and the 'restriction' I inquired about is not a problem. The TB works great, but I need to install my muffler delete pipe to (hopefully) see the gains - engine breathing IN better, but still restricted by the stock muffler so breathing OUT hasn't increased.......

[@A_Scanner_Lightly]

I call shenanigans. They refuse to answer this question, and it's the BIGGEST question here

Can this be put on an 18 rebel?

Do you have to tune your truck after you install this throttle body ?

[@AdrianHernandez-fy6gv]

No

[@dl4712]

Is this compatible w/ the K&N Blackhawk CAI?

[@AmericanTrucksRam]

The coupler attaching the intake tube to the new throttle body may be a little tight, but it will fit and perform just fine! -Zach

[@chrisrodriquez2082]

Can i put this in a 2012 quad ram 1500

[@AmericanTrucksRam]

This specific throttle body will *only* fit 2013-2018 5.7L RAMs. BBK does have a 2003-2012 option though, that will fit yours just fine. Check out the following link! -Zach www.americantrucks.com/bbk-90mm-throttle-body-57l-0312ram.html

[@mikemercier9648]

Do you have to reprogram

[@AmericanTrucksRam]

You won't need to re-tune your truck after installing this throttle body. If you plan on pairing this with an intake, exhaust and some other parts though, you will definitely see a better boost in performance after tuning. -Zach

[@Ledonin24]

[@JohnHansknecht]

It doesn't matter if the intake side is larger if the output of this throttle body is still the original size. Looks like a waste of $500 to me.

These are the guys that vinyl their pickups for 4000$, buy every last thing Haas tells them to buy at full retail and then charges 500$ like its no big deal. It's a hunk of aluminum. Not silver. Just cause you can't do the job without spending 400k doesn't mean its worth 500$. That means you suck at your job and someone hungrier deserves your paycheck.

[@brokensmile8487]

Your still bottle necked on intake. Do yourself a favor and use that $500 towards a better intake.

[@Mike-pp2mv]

That would be a fail as well . Best choice is getting the 6.4 hemi intake manifold and swapping it. You need injector spacers to use the 5.7 injectors or get it tuned for the 6.4s injectors . Plus get it ported gains up to 40 hp dyno proven then add a intake to maximize air flow .

[@wasupfool5692]

Waste of money

[@andrewchristiansen8311]

500$?!?!??! I'll build a benchtop CNC lathe here in Detroit for 500$ and put you out of business! I'll start with every 38$ core at my local junkyard, bore it out and flip them for 250$ on Fleabay all day long. What a freakin joke. You dont have to buy the most expensive tools to do the job. I'm not paying your insane overhead cause you cant run a business efficiently. JFC
