Our review of this electronic throttle body finds it best for owners of mid-2000s Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep models who need a direct-fit replacement that mirrors original equipment. The single biggest reason to buy is straightforward: it is built to the OE specifications and designed to replace failing throttle bodies that trigger electronic throttle control warnings, stalling or poor throttle response.
