My truck is an 89 F250 7.3. Can someone tell me the difference between these cable options as sites list both lengths (116" and 123")for my truck depending on the site. And don't tell me 6";)

Short vs. long bed maybe? :dunno

Check Rock Auto, they usually have detailed information as to model differences.

I'd buy the long one for the reason above, but thinking out loud might it be because if the Mitsubishi style starter vs the Denso? That's the only place I know of where there is a difference in length.

Thanks guys, my thoughts as well, but because I am next to 6.9 land, thought there might be a subtle difference that would make it not right, longer it is!

Difference is in body styles, whatever rock Rock Auto shows for an 87 is what you use for 87-91, that's what's on mine.
