All- I have a 2002 2500 suburban with the 8.1 engine. I’ve had this puppy since new and we love it. I put a remanufactured jasper engine in her three years ago, but they retained the original throttlebody. my mechanic thinks it is done, and we cannot find this part anywhere. Original part number is 17113671. It looks like the 03-07 8.1 uses a different one that is not compatible with my 02. Any advice where I could find one or any advice on a reputable rebuilder for my OEM throttlebody?
Thanks in Advance!

A1 Cardone is one of the largest remanufacturers in the U.S. See if they can take care of it.
Have a local engine shop, etc. send it in for you and A1 Cardone bills them. You work out the price with your local shop that is essentially the middleman. Didnt use to be like that. Ive actually sent them 1950's water pump off a generator that was Federal Government property and they took care of it for me around 2010.
