Throttle cable adjustment

[Matthew Jeschke]

Is there a spec on this? I have 2001 tahoe q 5.3l

I feel as though cable has a lot of slack.

I cannot find a spec or adjustment instructions.

usually the fix is to put a zip tie or two on the cable down at the foot pedal, it's not really "adjustable" but you can take any slack out that way.

Just because it wont look OEM doesn't mean it wont work Btw not to highjack you, but when you removed the longer front axle tube, was there just a single tabbed spacer under axle or is it a pair? I know there is a big washer but that one is by it self and falls off when you remove the tube from the housing, I was wondering about if its just 1 or 2 after removing the actual axle from the c clipped gear. I'm paranoid I might have lost one when I pulled it apart with the slide hammer as I only got 1 tabbed spacer from under it, and I saw a youtube vid with a guy that pulled 2 from under it but it was from a 2007 model. Thought I would ask since I remember you had fun with one of those. Thanks!

Ignore this I found it!! Glad you had done this before, now I know I wasn't going crazy, looks like they changed the design later on, I had to stalk your profile like a mad man to hunt the picture! Thanks.

No worries about hijacking... I was paranoid about that too. It takes as many spacers as necessary to get the desired end play taken out of the axle. I forget what the spec is for end play. I had to google a lot then found it on another forum I believe, not sure if I put the spec on TahoeYukonForum or not. Feel free to email me if you have issue matthew @ keysToAz (dot) com or call 520 three four four three 4 eight 1 (trying to avoid any stupid robo swipers from adding me to nasty spam lists lol)
