Got codes...dealership says new throttle body needed?

[Arkapigdiesel]

Pictured below are the codes I'm getting. Dealership says I need a new throttle body. About $850. That hurts.

I haven't committed either way. Is this a task I can take on myself? I did put a blocker plate on an LMM, so I figured if I can do that I can do this. Right?

There's no shops nearby that know a thing about Duramax's. I'm at the mercy of my dealership, and that's scary to me. Thoughts?

doesnt your warranty cover it

Looks like DPF codes to me

They are turned off via EFI Live. If you will notice, the DPF codes are appearing, but the engine color code thing is in yellow. Meaning, won't set off CEL.

The red engine icon means a CEL.

No, it isn't under warranty apparently

05 smoker, thanks for that link.

Are you saying I just need to make those two codes (0106, 0642) not report in EFI Live, OR are there some hard parts that I need to remove also?

If I make them not report, will that potentially cause issues now or somewhere down the road? Thanks for the help guys. I need my truck back and I'm in a jam trying to get this figured out.

If there are hard parts that need to be purchased, and if there are any vendors on here that sell what I need, please PM me.

I need this thing fixed

Feel like I'm talking to myself......the part number on the part that supposedly needs replaced is 98047243 (Fuel Injection Air Meter Body).

Shouldn't that be covered under the power train warranty?

 

[Arkapigdiesel]

Last question.....where is the fuel injection air meter body located?

 

[MMLMM]

Is it the air intake valve? I have one if needed. You can turn it off in efi so it doesn't close. Also have to shut the code off.

You can also take the plate out if it too. There's just two screws holding it.

Guys, ya'll are way more knowledeable than me. I would love to know how to do this, if you would just tell me how to do it and/or where the AIV is located.

Hell, I'll call you on my dime if it would get my truck back up and running
