Really. they do exist.
Truck #1. '85 F350 CC dually. Loaned out to my cousin. He calls no more than 5 minutes later telling me he has no throttle pedal and the truck is stuck in the middle of the Coleman Av. onramp to I880 s/b. Not good.
Three weeks later......
Truck #2. '92 F350 CC dually. Yes, my truck. Nail the throttle to merge into traffic. SOB goes into WOT and hangs.....yeee haaa(not). Daughter is astutely observing.."dad. the truck has a problem" (no ****). Stand on the brakes(yay hydro) and ride them. we're going through an interchange and I really don't feel like shutting down in a blind turn. that's ok...it's still under control even though it doesn't sound like it....get to a safe spot and shut her down. that's when I tell my daughter that's the difference when people panic and others think clearly in a bad situation. I didn't have to call a towtruck either. i just unhooked the offending cable and idled the truck back to the shop at 15 mph in 5th
see pics.
love your throttle cables a little. hopefully you can delay their psychiatric issues a little longer.
