thottle linkage question
the inside arm, closest to the IP, of the throttle linkage keeps coming off (at least I think that is the proper name for it the assembly next to the IP that moves when you press the accelerator) it looks like there is a recess for a c-clip that is supposed to prevent such a thing form happening but no clip. First what is this arm is there anything special to know about proper postioning?

It sounds like you have the same problem I do. Where the small socket portion of the linkage sits on the ball on the injector pump mine falls off when I hit a bump. I have been wondering about fixing this myself. I went to the dealer and they will not sell the end piece that threads on the rod anymore. Instead they want $45 for the entire rod assembly. I am going to try and build something of my own to save money. The piece that allows this to fall off is plastic, so I don't know of much you can do to fix it.

I ran a set up similar to that for almost a year, til bgilbert took pity on me and sold me one of his spare rods/ endcap for dirt cheap. I had baling wire doubled up and twisted so it looked nicer.

So does Dodge. Cummins will be cheaper, but I get a hookup at my Dodge $tealership, plus the Dodge boys got it to me in a day, Cummins would have taken a week.
One note of interest is that the Dodge part was in a Cummins bag and had the Dodge part no. stuck over it.

That's the cruise control cable. There's suppose to be a washer and a clip to hold it. Go see your Dodge dealer, he can show you an exploded diagram and get you any pieces you can't scrounge from the hardware store.
