I received all remaining parts today, minus the Power
Wire.

------------------------------------------

I also took some measurements of the stock TB (P/N
1120015BB, which is a "68MM" size):

-Top of the Bore: 66.85 MM

-Middle of the Bore (right before the butterfly):
65.06 MM

-Bottom of the Bore: 68.00 MM

--------------------------------------------

I also took some measurements of the "70 MM"
Flometrics TB:

-Top of the Bore: 78.85 MM (!!!!!!)

Bottom of the Bore: 70.01 MM

--------------------------------------------

First thing I noticed on the TB is how large it is,
compared to the stock TB:

The install took about 45 miuntes, taking my time. The
truck fired right up and I immediately noticed two
things:

1) The exhaust tone was much, much deeper
2) The sound of air getting sucked into the air filter
was also much louder
