The Lokar TC-1000tp36 works very well as a replacement throttle cable on our trucks.
I have seen a little info on the site about this cable. Since I just installed one on my truck today and the info is still fresh in my head. Though that I would write a thread on how I did it. Maybe it will help someone with their install.
Remove the old throttle cable. You need to save the plastic piece were the old cable attaches to the top of the throttle pedal linkage. You will reuse it when attaching your new cable.
Remove the inner cable from the new throttle cable.
Run your new braided outer cable cover through the firewall. The original hole is a little large for the cable. I took two flat washers painted them black and used them to cover the large hole. Then I ran the braided outer cable cover through.
Next route the braided cover to the bracket on the upper intake. Slide the sleeve down the braided cover so you won't have to try to slide it back on after you make your cut. Cut the cover to size and attach to bracket.
On the new inner cable remove the clevis. It should have a stop crimped on the end. Slide the plastic piece on the cable to this stop.
From inside the truck slide the new cable through the cover. Attach the cable on the inside of the truck.
The gas pedal and the throttle body need to be placed at WOT. Adjust the TB fitting on cable to fit TB at WOT. Cut the cable excess off at fitting and install on TB.
The cable is made so it can be adjusted were it attached to the upper intake bracket.
