Wild Comanche Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hello, I have a 1989 Jeep Comanche 4.0l that has the newer 1999 intake manifold and 1996 throttle body. It has factory cruise control. The eye piece on the end of the 1989 cruise control cable does not fit the round stud where it will be secured. I have the latter type plastic snap end that will adapt to the round stud. I was thinking of using a swage connector to connect the two cables together. With the throttle closed, should there be a certain amount of slack in the cruise control cable or should it be fairly taught with the cable connected to the throttle? I may only get one try at getting the swage in the correct spot. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyinajeep726 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Snug, no slack IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Mine has a small amount of slack in the line and still works great. If it's too tight I imagine it could cause issues with the throttle sticking open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Comanche Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Swaged the two cables together. Ended up with just a slight amount of slack. Test drove and worked fine. Thanks for the advice.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
