MJam86 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I have an 88 with the 4.0. Anyone ever have an issue with their throttle linkage? This part is the one that is attached to like a 1/4 L shaped rod. I'm looking to see if anyone has a fix for this issue, I have some ideas but it'd be easier to have something that i know works.

Jeep Driver Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 You can simply replace your throttle cable........or......... go high tech. http://www.kartek.com/Product/72/Cable-Morse-Ball-Joint-End.aspx Use pliers to crush and destroy existing plastic end or cut off....assuming you have enough threaded adjustment for length in the cable at the cable mount. Silver solder or epoxy new end on. These ends may be available at hobby shops that specialize in 1/4 scale RC......or look to web........or look to lawn tractor shops such as Cub Cadet, these are used for trans and throttle links. May have to drill out the threads on the joint to get a slip fit over your existing cable rod. There are other rod ends but you may have to remove your TB to get that pressed in ball cut off and drilled out to replace the ball end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJam86 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Junkyard. This is what I am thinking, among other things. I just didn't know if anyone had any other ideas in case I can't find anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJam86 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Picture is sideways sorry. Most people think that the transmission line pressure cable is actually the throttle linkage. After reading your post a few times that's what it sounded like to me, my apologies if I am wrong. I actually found the party I need at least I think I did. http://www.moparpartsoverstock.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_assembly=866560&ukey_product=6845431 It took quite a bit of searching as everything I searched actually came up with the transmission cable. I'll update this one I get the actual part in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The part number for the 88 pedal is 53005315. I've sent you a PM where that part is available. 53005315 ACCELERATOR PEDAL LINK U53005185 1987-90 JEEP 1 634 15.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJam86 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 I found the part number thanks for the PM. I have yet to call and find out if they actually have the part. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJam86 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Ok so here is my fix!<br />Take the rod drill a hole, then thread in the small eye hook things, bend it out so it can wrap around the ball on the throttle body and foot pedal assembly, then finally clamp it down tight. So my fix was under $1. Hope this helps someone else in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have an 88 with the 4.0. Anyone ever have an issue with their throttle linkage? This part is the one that is attached to like a 1/4 L shaped rod. I'm looking to see if anyone has a fix for this issue, I have some ideas but it'd be easier to have something that i know works. What's the issue? I see a photo with no explanation of what problem it's supposed to be showing. The lower end of that arm goes to a bellcrank on the frame rail. That bellcrank pivot gets rusted up or gooked up and doesn't rotate freeley. That's the most common problem with the Renix throttle linkage, and the cure is usually to shoot it with PB Blaster and work it manually until it rotates freely.

Nice cheap fix.....could use it to get the truck heading down the road......keep your eyes open, now that you have a threaded opening you might come across the correct ball cap connector that can also be threaded into place. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His plastic ball end no longer stayed on the ball. Ball ends are not free, ingenuity is even more expensive, I suppose. :idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a plastic piece at the end of the rod that clips onto the ball at each end of the rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this might work, it looks almost identical to the piece that's not staying connected. Not sure if it's a 10mm ball head though. I'm going to see if I can figure out the spec.
