Anyone know where to get a cheap lightning throttle cable? 70 bucks is a little steep from ford...?

 

MAD might have done better. There is a guy on NLOC that taking his L apart. Did you resuse your speed control cable? If not then you will need a new one as well. Its just shorter, end is the same. Unlike the throttle cable which had a different end on it, at least mine did.

 

Called MAD yesterday and he wants 45 shipped so I will most likely do that. I did get the speed control box and cable so I am good there. Thanks for the help !

 

I just did a L swap and had the same issue. I needed the L throttle cable and i wasnt paying what a dealer wanted, i thought it was $100 when i called but i could be wrong. I used the n/a cable and pulled the cable through the top of the pedal until it was tight and put two hose clamps on it holding it to the pedal. It didnt cost me anything and it is working. I stomped on it over and over trying to get it to come loose or slip and it hasnt. It has about 150 miles on it and 6 dyno pulls without an issue. I will post a pic in a few.

 

Heck ya post a pic will do that for sure its free!

 

All i am going to say is it works. I first tried zip ties but couldnt get them tight enough, so i used a hose clamp. I put two hose clamps on for safe measures and cut the zip ties off, i took the picture when i was still perfecting it. The zip ties are off and it is just the two clamps. I figured worse case senario both clamps magically break i still got 1/2 throttle to get back to the house on.

 

Sounds like it will if you can keep the excess inner cable secured. Problem is that at the throttle body side you have all this excess inner cable that NA throttlebody needs but L/HD throttle body does not. So the problem is not the overall length of the cable, ie jacket but the inner cable as it attaches to throttlebody.

 

Spend the 45 bucks!

Didnt i get your the blower bolts? Want me to get a price on the cable to do it right?

Dont remember the blower bolts but that would be great if you can get me a price on the cable. Just dont want to worry about it later but a good fix 150xlt...


Thanks Dave

 

Sorry the post above was directed to 150XLT about the blower bolts. I will call tomorrow and get a price. Anybody have a part number i cant seem to find it in my files.

Wayne

 

Nope not me, i got the bolts myself.

 

Also what do you do for a intercooler pump plug?

 

If you are refering to the electrical conection i used an injector clip. My tuner told me when i ordered the pump to not order the pig tail but to cut the injector plug off of an old harness and use it that it was the same. I had a few old wiring harnesses that i have collected and cut a conector off and it worked. It snaps right on, and it didnt cost me **** once again. I hope this helps and meets everyone's standards.

 

Perfect I like it! I have a spare harness so that works thanks !
