Default Throttle body gasket??

I changed the oil, plugs/boots today (2020 Milited with 44K) and was going remove the throttle body for a cleaning but I am unsure is it has gasket or o-ring that needs replacing or is reusable. My last truck (18 KR) i cleaned but I'll be damned if I can remember the gasket part. I see Advance Auto has one but just wanted to make sure.

Many thanks.

There is an o-ring. I’ve never had to replace it after cleaning the throttle body…unlike the soft headed bolts that rounded off on me.

I have that part number should you need it. 😂😂

Thanks - I got the o-ring just in case, cause if Murphy is gonna get someone , it's gonna be me.

Cleaned mine a couple months back. I saw no reason to replace it.

I think I need to clean mine as well. I'm almost at 41K and I'm getting a little vibration at idle on stops. May be a good time to throw some new plugs into it as well.
