Default How to tell if you have a 98-99 throttle body or a 00-02

I'm not sure what I have. Is there anything I can look for on it?

the only think that is different is the part that the throttle cable loops around. atleast thats all i know of. So i guess you could put it on your car and see if it goes WOT when you hit that gas. And I mean by looking at the blade, not by actually running it.

So if it doesn't open all of the way, you can just manually adjust it until it opens close to 100% at WOT?

no, I don't think that works, you have to actually have the correct one.

I put my buddies old 00' tb on my 99' without realizing there was a difference. After hooking up the cable the blade would not shut completely. Swapped the shafts and it was fine.

Ive never seen a red spring , silver/blue for Fbody and orange for trucks is all I have seen. The blue spring is the tighter wound 00-04 spring and the silver spring is a looser wound spring found on the 98-99.

Mine looks like a red/orange color. Hard to tell since it is faded, but it sure as hell isn't blue.
