96-99 CPI Truck throttle body INLET gasket

$10 total is short-changing yourself

Totally agree, and echoed those same sentiments earlier when I PM’d my info.

I used SainSmart 95A TPU. It’s closer to the 98A stuff but has enough give to let the intake hat compress it when you leverage it back on. Honestly I’ve never used 90A, I’ve only ever seen 95 and 98. Here is the Amazon link.

That’s funny cause after reading that article, I was thinking something in the middle (95) might be better as you probably don’t want to soft, it might tear. This is all new to me anyway, I was just curious. I like the red too.

Everyone that sent me PM's, your packages are on the way. Caman96 pointed out, that Monday is a holiday, so it might be Friday this week before they show up. When you get them, please send me some feedback about fitment and some pics if there are issues. I only have my kid's 98 5.7 C3500 truck to test on so that is the only TB I know for certain these fit.

Will do and thank you.

Would you have any interest in printing the TBI air cleaner gasket? The TBI trucks have two - one between the TBI and plastic/metal riser, the other between the riser and the air cleaner base. I’d be in for 6.

I would be happy to print them if you can get me measurements. If you have a set of digital calipers that’s the best way to measure the current gasket. Send me a DM and we can work it out.

Mine came in today. They look great! This is a really cool material. Thanks again for supporting the community.

When you put them on the easiest way I found was to put the gasket on the TB and snap the hat over it. It might take a little force to get the hat to seat on the backside. If it’s giving you trouble a drop or two of lubricant will make it slip right on

Thank you for posting pics!

I’m happy to help keep these old rigs on the road. I remember the day I walked in the shop at the dealership my dad worked for and saw the first 1988 K1500 truck fresh off the delivery rig. I always loved the square bodies, but that thing looked amazing. So I see it as keeping part of my dad’s memory alive by keeping some old rigs chugging along.
