Keeping things running smoothly with a little throttle body cleaning on our 2013 Chevrolet Silverado. This should be the same procedure for 2007 to 2013 GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado.

Very quick procedure, with some care. Exercise caution when cleaning or touching the throttle body and don’t be aggressively moving the butterfly in the throttle body if you clean yours.

Have a scan tool ready in case you need to clear a Check Engine Light.

Lastly there’s a risk of high idle after cleaning on some trucks and you may need to take it to a service shop to resolve it if you cannot resolve it on your own.
