I've been checking out V8 tb's on ebay. Price seems right. What are the pros and cons of putting one of these into 98 3.9. thank you.

Based on my experience I'd have to say all pros (significant performance and mpg gains) and no cons. Just give the PCM a few hundred miles to re-learn before you pass final judgement (off-idle response will seem slow at first, but it will get better).

Oh, and a couple of other things. You won't see better mpg if you're stomping on it alot, which you WILL be tempted to do. Also you won't get the full benefit with the stock airbox setup (cutting a larger hole at the inlet produces surprisingly good results).

Thanks 99 dak. I thought that my computer may reject the V8 TB. But, seems like you know what you're talking about. Thanks again!

Hey guys, what size V8 TB should I look for? The one that comes off the smaller or larger V8? I'm going to be searching my local junk yards for one. Thanks in advance!

I've got a v8 tb that I would sell you. It still has all of the v8 sensors on it and I also have the throttle cable that you need. I will sell it for less than what ever the going rate is on them. ($80-$90?) Just let me know.

Would the same apply to the 91 and earlier TBs? No computer work necessary? Or do the V-6 and V8 use the same TB.

So, when looking for a V8 throttle body for a '98 Dak V6, between which model years will work? What generation is a '98, anyways? Thanks for putting up with my dumb questions! Relf.
