Yes, just the TB & then you can dissable the drive by wire stuff with HP tuners. With HP tuners, set your electronic throttle parameters to zero (B2706,B2713, B2717). You will get an ETC warning note every time you open the program file; ignore it. The warning will say something like "warning, one or more ETC settings is out of range." Again, it's just a default warning as a safety note to those using dbw, it won't effect you @ all. Just remember to zero out the table & then you're good. May have to tweek your idle settings, but probably not.

you are better off just using the fuse block for the engine controls. Use the jeep fuse panel for your wipers, lights, etc.

+1, don't start messing w/ fuse blocks. You'll end up going crazy chasing down non-working curcuits. Keep the Jeep & PCM fuse blocks.
