How to clean a throttle body (2011 GMC Sierra 2500HD)

This week we work on correcting a problem we have been having with our 2011 GMC Sierra 2500HD where we were receiving a message and experiencing reduced engine power. It turned out that it was due in part to a failure of the control on the throttle body which was replaced and secondly as a result of the dirt and grime in the throttle body. The dealership had wanted to charge us over $200 to clean the throttle body for us. We were able to get the job done in about 30 minutes for less than $10. We work to bring you tutorials, project plans, and project costs “giving you the tools to do it yourself”.
