I just mounted my Mini Ram. How many of you eliminated the coolant from running through the Throttle body and cut the water cavity off of the lower throttle body. If so how did you do it? Can I just eliminate the coolant and not cut the lower throttle body? Hate to butcher a part!
Opinions please!

Me too. No biggee. I think I used a air cut off tool. Went to the auto parts and they let me go in the back and pick a formed hose to hook to the metal heater line.

Same here the bottom of the TB will rub the Thermostat housing if you don't remove the water cavity off the bottom of the TB. I think TPIS has a pic on it's website of where to make the cut. If ya don't want to cut up yours look on the parts board and see if someone is selling a stock TB and steal it off that onePipe
