No, it will fit just fine. Just the bores (openings) are larger, the diameter of the piece is the same. I thought it was an awesome mod for the money, it picked up the lower end immediately - which theoretically should help a lot in the 1/4 mile.

just did the swap a few days ago, the low end is great, but the swap of the cable is a bitch!
I still have to adjust my tranny cable, as my highspeed shifts are screwy!!!

TB cable. Throttle Body cable, it goes from the lever that opens the bores, to your accelerator. You can modify your existing one, I think Bernd has the direction on his site.

The TB will fit fine. Did you go to Speedtweaks.net and read the tips section? There are directions for the install, and also for modifying your existing V6 TB cable. I opted to buy a V8 cable instead, way simpler. Yes, the dodge dealership sells them.

That picture on the Hughes Engines website is somewhat misleading. They've got two TB's mixed up (Stage-III is actually a Stage-II)
Stage-I: '92-'93
Stage-II: '94-'95
Stage-III: '96-Current
The Stage-II use the black crescent-shaped linkage.

Mine didn't come with sensors, I just used the existing ones. It really picked up the lower end on mine, it can really take off now. But - it takes a couple of hundred miles for the computer to really adapt to it. I don't know if it will be ready for your race this weekend. Sorry, I don't know anything about the t-stat.

Hi Lesley. Thanks for the offer but I already ordered my TV cable from Speedtweaks. I might still go ahead with the FMS injectors. How's your great looking Dak for gas mileage when you're not heavy on the go pedal?

It's not bad actually. The problem is that I am almost ALWAYS heavy on the gas pedal, even more so since I have put more goodies on it. It's really hard not too - one thing you will like about the new TB is the immediate response to the gas pedal.

Please respond asap because i'm trying to get this part asap (hopefuly today before 5:00 pm eastern time). I just need to know if it will fit, if you have one and you're not sure, please lift the hood on your truck and see if this number matches. All responses are greatly appreciated!!!

If it is off a 5.2 or 5.9 Dakota, it will fit.
Holley makes our stock throttle bodies.

If you port the stock V8 TB out, you'll probably lose some bottom end power. Maybe change your rear gear ratios?

I recently installed a v8 throotle body on 97 v6. I was able to grind the disk down slightly until the stock v6 throttle cable fit on it. the other cables matched up just fine. The v8 tb had a much stiffer spring than the v6. I went to NAPA and picked up a GM carb. return spring to ease the tension, it works fine so does the cruise control.
