Stiff Accelerator

My accelerator is really stiff on my '95, is there a how-to floating around somewhere on how to adjust it? Thanks

you probably need a throttle cable and possibly the whole recall.

LOL you should see mine on the 3500... the previous owner attached a random spring to the front of it where the cable connects and then to some place on the front of the truck... I'm a little afriad to remove it... could I be affected by this recall also? Where should I get a fix from?

Thanks!

It already has a new cable the dealer put on, the problem is it's adjusted way to tight. I just need to loosen it a bit.

the extension spring may be to heavy or connected in the wrong place.
