https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...&highlight=tps You can drill two holes and try the fast dry dielectric cleaner and reseal the holes if you do not want to seperate, it works great. Goodluck,,Rick

I disagree. I worked for mine, and I know many others. Kevin

Cleaning buys some time but eventually they have to be replaced.
I've had to finally replace my tps with a new ones twice over 225k.
My original stocker required cleaning every 5k starting at around 15k but at 75k cleaning didn't help anymore.

I have used both ways to clean them, and several that have been cleaned both with holes and seperated, I think the trick to lasting is when seperated use some dielectric grease and lube them up when going back and seal them up good. Goodluck,,Rick

I opened mine and cleaned everything LIGHTLY with some sandpaper including the ends of the "fingers". I then added a light coat of di-electric grease inside and sealed it all up. So far (about 6 months) it has been working great!!

The previous owner had the truck for 6 years and replaced the TPS once and it has never shifted as good as it does now. I don't know how long it will last but for now I would say give it a try!
