throttle pedal detent

Well, my truck got stuck in first gear and wouldent shift out of it. It had been acting irratic the day before and took a dump the morning after. Got it back already from a good friend and it turns out it was the govener and transducer solenoids. He also said he adjusted the band. When I put the truck in reverse to back up, and then to drive the throttle feels tighter/firmer. If I press it more than half way it feels as if something is ratcheting. We looked at the cables coming off the intake and everything looks good. I can only compare the feeling as if you were to replace the downshift/ detent cable on a chevy 700r, when first installed you have to put the pedal to the floor to adjust the shift points....anyone with a simiar issue ?? oh yeah ---its a 48re 2003 model

I believe your throttle if fly by wire meaning there is no cable. You my have something wrong with the peddle itself.

An '03.5 should still be cabled shouldn't it? Sounds like a classic bad cable to me.
