Your guess is as good as mine. The ends of the hose are slip-fit. Putting ends on them would take longer than re-connecting the hoses to the throttle body. Why would you want to reverse it???

well, if there is no real improvement, and I end up in a cold environment I want to be able to reverse in case of hard starts. From what I understand this was originally done to aide in cold wether starts. Are any of you who have done this living in cold weaher areas? and are you having any issues? I probably will not since the coldest this year has been 28 degrees so this may be a non issue. I just hate to make permanent changes.

I live in Shreveport, LA. The coldest it's been here so far is 30F and no problems. That's with the pads and cover off, too.

Did the TB bypass to my friend's 2000 Sierra ECSB Z71 with a 5.3. worked well on his, too. He has 175,000+ miles on his and bigger tires. It broke the rear tires loose when it hit 2nd. Also, had the presence of mind this timeto remember it was a 1/4 " brake line.

I was looking into the throttle body coolant bypass, but there are a lot of different hoses, can you be more specific on which one it is, I will take a picture of mine tomorrow when I get a chance.

Thank you in advance.

Underneath the throttle body, the one on the driver's side comes off the intake manifold and the one on the passenger side goes to the radiator.

Default For thought

Was wondering if anyone tried modifying their A/C lines to run through the throttle body instead of just bypassing the coolant lines. if you could get the right fittings and custom tubing wouldn't that cool the air quite a bit to give you at least 25 horse maybe? and thoughts on that. I'll look into it more and see if i can do it to my own truck. and post again.
