Are these cables ajustable? I read that it should hook right up to my 5.3 thottle body but its a short, it snaps right in the bracket but wont reach the thottle body. Thanks

No one?
Ok, for future reference the cruise cable is adjustable. Right at the end is a little clip that you pull out and adjust.
i just tried mine but even at the very end where it still is able to lock it holds the throttle plate open a little and doesnt rest on the set screw
I let mine out all the way. Dont know how it will work yet cause Im waiting to buy my headers and a few odds and ends to finish the install.
Not sure of the adjustability, but I ended up using the one from the donor truck. I took the entire cruise control box and cable, mounted it and wired it, only to find out the donor box was not functioning. I took my original cruise control box cover off, and swapped cables from the donor box to my original box. Problem solved. The donor cable was definitely longer than my original cable.
what year was the donor truck mine came out of a 98 k1500
Just went out and took a look at mine and it also is not sitting on the set screw. Looks like Ill be hitting the salvage yard to get a throttle and cruise cable from a 2001 truck or suburban.Quote:

Vortec and TBI injected traditional small blocks have shorter cables due to the cable running to the center of the engine, not to the front like the LS Vortec engines.
