Thread: Which throttle cable to use for OBS with 5.3

  1. #1

    Which throttle cable to use for OBS with 5.3

    I had the old 4.3 V6 tbi engine before I installed the 5.3 LS. The throttle cable is too short. Which one would you guys recommend using? Off which year and/or model?

    I used the donor truck's cable('99 Silverado). Worked like a charm. Just had to enlarge the hole in the firewall to accept the plastic plug on the cable.

    I went to home depot and got some 1/16 steel cable (i think) and some end clamps and made my own.
