77911, upgraded throttle cable?
Posted by foggy45, Jul-20-04 05:21 PM
i recently broke part of the plastic sleeve for the throttle cable that is inside of the cab. it was ok at first, but now it starts to stick and squeek. i tried some liquid graphite spray and that helps for a while then the problems come back.
now it has gotten worse
almost everytime i blip the throttle to downshift it gets stuck at WOT and blasts right into fuel cut until i react quick enough to kick it so it unsticks!

does anyone know of a teflon coated throttle cable? or any other upgrade for that matter? or should i just call Bob and get a stock replacement?

thanks in advance

good god man! get that fixed ASAP!!!

there is no upgrade to the throttle cable besides tightening it at the TB to ensure that WOT is truely "WOT".

order from kise, and get it replaced soon!

ditto. Just a stock replacement and get it fixed ... it can't be that hard.
