[QUOTE="snowflake, post: 167079, member: 152"] 2"-4" is the norm, but I've also seen them break right at the plug, GM sells the plug. The only people/company I do repairs for outside of my own vehicles is U-Haul, mainly because they treat their contractors with the respect they deserve. Of the ones I've done, a vast majority of the time its a broken wire, the other times its been the pedal assembly. I only had one that was a throttle body, and don't ask me how it worked because I couldn't tell you, but the tb off a smaller engine, 6.0, will bolt to the 8.1, however there is a difference in that the 6.0 uses a vac controlled high idle circut and theres a nipple on the TB for this. I had a truck (C6500 with a 8.1) that had a 6.0 TB bolted to it about 5 months prior in Denver CO, it ran for 1500 miles and made its way to my neck of the woods before the computer caught on and it started acting up.... how?
