Ok what are you guys doing for throttle cables. I had a stainless cable and i broke it. would like to keep it in the interior and use the "diesel" pedal so that it doesn't freeze up. Any pics/ideas? I wouldn't need one, but my truck barely idles when it's really cold. Have tried everything.

 

i heard, bicycle brake/shifter cables. thats what i want to use.

 

I ordered a locking throttle control from my jobber a couple of years ago and mounted it under the dash. I simply attached it to the throttle pedal arm as I didn't want to route it through the firewall where it would transmit noise and vibration from the engine. I've been very happy with it. See this thread. I attached a picture in my post there, so it won't allow me to attach it here too. https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/....html?t=261169

 

Do you remember where you got that from buddy?

 

Here's how mine is done.

IIRC it's a twisting lock cable from NAPA....

Where did you get that torquefan?

 

I use my factory high idle cable




Stillsmokin disected a N/IC high Idle setup and adapted it to his I/C pedal, this does require fab skills, Next time I'm over there I'll snap some pics

 

I like it.

 

could you ever use a hand throttle?, like off a fire truck? as you twist it it increases rpm, and theres a button on top you press and it returns to regular idle. all the firetrucks have them to control engine rpm to run the pumps instead of someone in the truck with their foot on the petal.

 

I like that idea. Where do you get one?

 

haha im not gunna lie to yah, they arent to pretty about 3.5 inches diameter, with a big red button (but it'll match you paint! ). ummm, most big rig shops, palmar, traction ect. if you really cant find one, i may be able to ship one down

 

The better ones are to the bottom of the list:
