Okay, thanks, I'm running the factory intake still and wanted to make sure it would fit.
Has anybody run this intake on a stock 5.3 and had any problems with it, I read another thread where one member put it on a 5.3 with a low lift cam and lost power, saying the runners were too big or something like that. Just want to know if this would be a worthwhile mod

There's a lot of good info in this thread, I'm looking to do this swap on my '02 and have a few questions. To the guys who did this, how did you hook up the intake and MAF to meet the bigger tb opening?
And to ShredSled: How well is the ebay tb still working for you, what specific problems did you have with it, I'm thinking that will be my best bet for this swap.

Sorry about the late reply... but yeah the ebay TB (the one I got anyway, not sure which you're looking at specifically?) I got is still working great. I think it's probably a bit of a roll of the dice to get one, since I bet their tolerances aren't quite as tight, so you may end up with a lemon, or like in my case, a cherry.

I REALLY need to swap my stock intake for this one. My buddy gave me a tbss intake, I just have to work with him on getting it to fit on my truck.

Bringing up an old thread...
curious to know if anyone has used push lock fittings and hose? And could the 99'-02' fuel lines be cut, flared, and a ferrule/fitting be employed? I've used the ferrule/fitting deal on PS pressure lines and transmission lines in the past. Just wondering if it is a viable option vs. welding fittings to the factory lines. (I am just not comfortable welding them)
Everything else looks straight forward, the lines appear to be the biggest hurdle.
TIA
