obrien07 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) okay today my truck whent into "limp" mode because of my throttle body and now i got the bright idea to change my truck to a cable drive throttle body insted of the drive by wire .... can that be done? and what would that involve doing ? i know i need to get a cable and throttle body but what about the pcm and stuff ?what would i have to do to make the truck run right with a cable throttly body? thanks for the help Edited December 2, 2009 by OBRIEN (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chpspecial Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Spend more money than to just fix the problem... but if you are really intrested you might also need a new peddle and tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) New peddle, lots of drilling for a cable, tune, fabricate your own idle air control, fabricate cable mounts and guides, fabricate adapters to put a cable throttle on your manifold if they dont already have it and numerous other things... Honestly, cable throttle body on a SSS would be like converting it to gearbox manual steering, carbureted (with a manual choke of course), kingpins, 700R4...or no, why overdrive? TH350, etc etc you get the idea. Edited December 4, 2009 by Punisher (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chpspecial Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Plus you can pick up a stock TB from here fairly cheap... just get one from someone that has done the 90mm upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Replace the operating system in your PCM with one from the recent GM van, it still uses a cable-actuated throttle body. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) If you want to run the FAST-102: 1) install the FAST-102 intake & TB 2) iron-out any accessory drive issues (you might only need the newest Gen-IV water pump) 3) get the pedal & cruise control cables, PCM, & cruise control module from a 2004+ GM van 4) do a segment swap in PCM for 4L60 5) performance tune PCM. ...basically speaking. It's a couple grand and some legwork but I'm sure it's doable and you're right it would be pretty badass. Mr. P. Edited December 4, 2009 by Mr. P.

Mr. P. yeah but idk i mite just go with the intake and a 90mm ls2 tb or something like that . really what i am trying to do is get one of the fastest 1/4 mile times ON ALL ENGINE AND STOCK ROTATING ASSEMBLY so that means no gas and no forsed induction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
