Today I replaced a throttle body on this truck and decided to look for the failure. This one failed with TP sensors 1+2 disagree. While performing a throttle sweep test KOEO, it would fail and default every time around 75% throttle. Once it failed, it would not move until a key cycle, and sometimes it would require a code clear before it would move again.

I found it interesting and thought others might also.

You'll note 2 terminals to the motor, yes 12V will snap it open or closed :) Didn't see anything visibly wrong with the tracks, although there was definitely a problem there. If you look closely, you'll see where a strip runs all the way around the outermost track and connects to the opposite end of track 2. Pretty simple really.
