I reccomend getting a manual on your vehicle. I picked one up for minw and in some cases it is vague, but can help you identify what things you may encounter during dissassembly with some brief descriptions.

I keep mine in my SUV religiously, or in every vehicle I have ever owned as a matter of fact.......

best of luck!!

Nothing special about replacing the TPS.. Just pull the battery cable... Pull the snow shield off the top of the intake (if you have one).. unhook the electrical connector.. remove 2 screws... remove/replace and put it back together...

When your done plug the battery back in (should be 10 minutes by now) and the truck will re-learn everything with the new TPS (which is why you took of the battery cable when yous tarted)..

When i replaced mine, (super easy) i left my battery cable off for about 30 minutes...
usually whenever i do anything involving the computer i leave it off for at least a half hour.

2 screws, the connector, and resetting the computer. that's it! good luck!
