I have always removed my TB to clean it... I was searching the internet just to see if maybe there would have been something small I would have missed, and I noticed that every message I read, people cleaned theirs leaving it ON the truck. I and about to clean my again, should I leave mine on the truck while cleaning it or should I do like I always do and remove it?

Thanks!

Removing it is more time consuming (on paper) but allows for doing a much better job. I'd take it off.

Just remove it, its a very easy and short process. Not to mention you can do a way better job as mentioned

+1 to removing it entirely!
Its pretty simple and removing it will guarantee none of the filth rolls down into the motor
