Product Overview
A frayed cable, heavy pedal, excess slack, or throttle lever that does not return freely can turn a small mechanical part into a drivability and safety problem.
Reconnects accelerator-pedal movement to the engine throttle linkage on compatible second-generation Ram 5.9L diesel trucks. Model names, reference numbers, dimensions, and configuration checks are kept together so the replacement decision can be made from evidence rather than a generic category match.
