Otherwise sourcing the "little things" winds up costing a lot of time and money.Since we on the topic of throttle bodies, you can expand your search of engines for the 03-05(?) Express vans. Those kept cable throttle bodys longer, for some strange reason. The 1500 vans ran the 5.3 (with the 4L60e), while the 8 lug 2500/3500 used the 4.8/6.0 (with the 4L80e).In general, the work vans are the most used/abused/neglected vehicles out there because 99.9% are work vans with miliions of miles. But the passenger vans are normally used by church groups, well serviced and typically very low miles.Just wanted to throw that out there in case you come across one...</blockquote>
