| Throttle body Spacers for 2011 Duramax I have been trying to see if adding a throttle body spacer will actually add a bit hp and add the 2-4mpg which they say they do, anyone with knowlege know the truth? I do a ton of driving and would like to gain a few more mpg if possible, but I'd hate to waste my money on something which is a total farse, & since a ton of people on the site are very mechanically inclinded, something which I am not, many of you should know, hopefully anyway. any and all help in this regard would be a great help, thank you. PS, I am also kind of interested in the Air Dog system, and if you happen to know about the advantages to this, i'd also appreciate your help in this matter, although I am now going to do some searching in here about this system. My main question is about the throttle body spacer as I couldn't find anything on here thus far, but I am going to continue looking at both of the above. Again, thank you

| You should get every part advertised to save fuel. Before you know it, you'll be taking fuel out of the tank to make room for more saved fuel.

| When you do the throttle body spacer do you have to upgrade from a 1/2" kabibble to a 3/4"? Sent from my iPhone using AutoGuide.com App

| The LMLs have a "throttle body". Pretty sure it is for controlling vacuum in the intake for emissions/EGR. Sent from my iPhone using AutoGuide.com Free App
