who has the rod ends for my throttle linkage?

I need to know where to get new rod ends that go on the rod between the mopar linkage and hook to the injection pump. Mopar wants $70+ for a "kit the has rod ends and rod in it, and Cummins says that they don't have them (dodge said Cummins did). Does anyone know where to get them and what thread size the rod is? Has anyone switched over to heim joints?
I'm wondering when I'll hit a bump and the rod will fall off the ball stud.

Let me know what the size is, (Male/Female, LH/RH) I'll give you a part number to call a couple of bearings houses in your area. The rod that sticks out is a press fit in and probably will stay put long after you've hammered the throttle for the last time...

here a picture of the throttle linkage. I can give you the Cummins Parts numbers if you tell me which ones you want.

There was a safety recall on those...don't know if it applies to '95...but my '97 was fixed for free. I think the recall number is B5? Just have a dealership run an outstanding recall check.

Dodge said all the recalls have been done on my truck.
Earl:
I need #'s 5 and 6 in the parts breakdown. I'm glad I asked about this friday, because one end fell off today right after I passed a bus. Probably Pi$$ed the bus driver off!

I wonder if they are obliged to re-perform the safety recall if the same defect happens again? That was what the recall for my '97 specically addressed...same thing happened to me...front ball socket wore out allowing linkage to fall off while driving.
