Throttle Body Gasket 18-24 Ford 5.0L

The Throttle Body Gasket 18-24 Ford 5.0L is a critical OEM-equivalent sealing component engineered for modern Coyote-powered Ford applications, including the F-150, Mustang, and Explorer platforms. This gasket sits between the intake manifold and throttle body, preventing vacuum leaks that compromise air metering and engine performance. Whether you're rebuilding after a throttle body service, addressing a rough idle, or completing a full induction system overhaul, this MAHLE ORIGINAL/CLEVITE gasket delivers factory-spec sealing without compromise.

MAHLE ORIGINAL gaskets are manufactured to OEM specifications using advanced elastomer compounds and precision molding that ensure consistent contact pressure and durability across thermal cycles. The gasket's thin profile (0.01 inches) minimizes stack height while maintaining robust sealing integrity, critical when stacking multiple gaskets during manifold work. The engineered material resists fuel vapors, coolant splash, and engine bay temperatures, preventing premature degradation that leads to vacuum leaks—a common culprit in stumbling idle, hesitation, and rough running on modern fuel-injected 5.0L engines.

This gasket suits both stock and modified 5.0L builds; tuners and engine builders routinely replace it during intake manifold removal, throttle body upgrade installations, or vacuum system diagnostics. Always replace the gasket when disturbing the throttle body-to-manifold interface—reusing crushed gaskets is a false economy that invites lean-running conditions and check-engine codes. Fits all 2018–2024 Ford 5.0L Coyote applications with confidence, backed by MAHLE's reputation for precision OEM replacement parts.
