    its up to you. i have a dbw set up on mine. but kinda wishing i went with the cable. only because im limited on the moutnting options for the pcm because of the pedal harness. you will have to find a dbw peal and tac module. if you dont have them its probably easier to just get a cable throttle body and have your harness and pcm modified for that set up. so you would reuse the oem pedal and cruise control. ive heard mixed reviews regarding throttle response etc so i think its just a matter of convenience. i kept mine dbw because i llike the fact of having a modern touch







    here how the dbw pedal looked mounted.

    that doesn't look to shabby lol. Heres what i truely want, the absolutely cleanest setup, for the money. as far as a Painless harness for the engine as well. My only problem with getting this swap done is that i don't have anything to drive in the mean time. So until then i either have to get everything ready for a weekend swap, or find something to drive!

    As soon as school is out, I will have MUCH more time to mess with it, and less places to go daily. I'm not looking for a weekend job, I want to do this and do it right the FIRST time lol. Plus there a lot of other odds and ends that need to be corrected. Can you say complete overhaul? haha oh by the way carpet in your truck looks great want to do mine? lol

    Haha, ill take that deal! Little news update, decided I'm just going to flog the absolute shit out of the TPI that is in it until it literally FALLS APART! 230k miles on the engine alone. This truck is a Frankenstein truck for real 630K miles on the chassis, 87 TPI from an old scrapper. If you want details just ask, there are so many more things to tell. haha
