Does you truck already have the 4 bolt tb? If so it won't do anything because its the same intake. If not then its a great swap. Watch the classifides, they usually pop up every now and then.

Yea, I'm not sure what tb you'll need for yours but I'm pretty sure you will also need the Dr. X harness for the tb. Everything else should bolt right up.

You can find the intakes a lot cheaper around on the forums.. I paid 125 for mine then you will need fuel rails, 87-90mm tb ls3 or nnbs or tbss. And you will need the dr.x harness to make the tb work right

not to be mean but a tbss intake might be too much for ur 4.8 those who gain from them are usually on cammed out 6.0s.. u should cam and stall it before..

I think the key to this manifold adding power is having the higher flowing heads like the 07+ sure it runs great on my truck as it came that way, but the power and tq peaks higher in the rpm range than the older engines. If the heads won't flow what the intake is capable of, u still have a bottleneck there.
