Subject: Throttle Cable - FYI
IP: Logged

Message:
As I so found out this morning, Daimen Chrysler has discontinued their support for the 96 and older dakotas (3.9l for me). After searching every dealer near me, and talking to about 20 different parts guys, one of them searched every dealership in the united states. As I so thought at the moment, we were in luck, a dealership in houston texas (i'm in ohio) had one listed in stock. After calling houston, I'm out of luck again as their system was incorrect.

So there I am, not a single throttle cable in the united states. So, i went to my second option - the junk yards. After calling 3 or 4 junk yards, I began to get a queasy feeling as all the junk yards tell me that they cut all the cables and lines when they pull the engine out of the truck. After calling about 10 junk yards, I finally found a junk yard that said they might have a cable that's actually usable. 30 minutes later, and a raging headache, I got my throttle cable.


So whatever you do, if you think you're gonna need a throttle cable at any time for your truck, and it's a 96 or older, get ahold of one now... they're disappearing.

that is not true. I just recently purchased a pcv valve and wires for my 92` van.
