CamoMan Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 can this be repaired? The attatchment ball thingy is gone off the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 yeah, throttle cables are pretty easy to change. you might bring the old one in to the dealer to compare, as there were a couple different types of attachments to the pedal on at least some models.52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamoMan Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 will the dealer go back that far? or is off to the JY to search? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NV Zeno Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Might as well shoot for a new one at the dealer first, they're cheap enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamoMan Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 What I'm trying to get at is this: in my experiance with dealerships here ,most don't carry stuff more than 10 yrs back. A lot of JY's here are the same. I've never been to the Sub dealership here, it's about 1 hr from my house, maybe they do ,I'll call and see. If not, can the end piece be replaced?

ShawnW Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Auto parts stores tend to stock them for Ea81 powered cars so give it a try with yours. I had to special order one at Advance auto but it was like 9 bucks. I didnt end up getting it cuz mine is a turbo and needs a shorter one but it was right for the carb model.

CamoMan Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Sat on hold with dealer for WAY too long then I said to myself "Autozone you idiot !" $15...on order. I f I cant't get this carb going I think I'll scrap the truck for parts. Turns out it has more rust on the chasis than I thought. Might sell jumpseats,rollbar etc. anyway just to pay for the thing since IT"S ROTTING AWAY ! Just the chassis though the rest of the body is great.

CamoMan Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 I thought about that and a sawzall! If I could get my $ back out of it I could put it into a hatch...if one exists around here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those words are to never be used together on this board again. The dealer is the last place I'd go Check a parts store before going to the dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
