Default Throttle Body Spacer Question

Hello all. Most of the throttle body spacers are listed for 87-95 trucks. Did they not make anything for the 96er or is it just a typo? Also, what are yall's thoughts on the spacers? Are they worth it? This link is for one of the 87-95s. Did the throttle body/intake style change for the 96? Whats the story?

dont know about if it will work for the 96 or not but the TB spacers for the most part are a cheap add on... you get like 1 hp and like .25 MPG's better... I did it to my gas truck, but I didnt do it to my diesels... is it worth it? thats up to you if you want to spend the money for that ...

I would not bother. Really the only time one would make any difference is if you pushing 375 to 400+ rwhp and then usually one just gets a bigger tb.

But it's your money and whatever you like to do to your car / truck and enjoy it :-)

I agree, on a big hp engine, it might make a small difference. I got one and couldn't even tell its on there
