The fact that the AT shift cable has a different connection to the throttle body than the throttle cable!!! What a joke

thats one of the things I like about my 93 is that it IS a 318 ("5.2") and NOT a 360 ("5.9") I wish my 94 was a 318 instead of a 6 cyl

how is it a joke? The throttle pedal goes to the gas pedal the shift cable goes to the tranny. Id rather have that than a GM style vacuum modulator; some GMs thru the years had both a cable and a vac modulator....

No I mean how the Trans shift cable is a latch and pull rather than a button pop like the throttle

that its not a 5.2 or a 5.9
that the paint is peeling
that the wheel lug pattern is so rare
that there are hardly any aftermarket body parts available
that it gets less gas mileage than newer trucks with the same engine that have more power, just because of the older ECM/electrical system.
the list can be long at times.....

be glad about that as the throttle cable needs adjustment capability where teh only adjustment needed w/the throttle cable is planted w/your right foot
then again you could always do like I did and pull the auto tranny and swapo in a manual then you wouldnt need the trans shift cable
